Supply Checklist

How to use this checklist

Treat this page like a live packing board for Oregon Trail on Roblox. Before you roll, assign a Supply lead (party roles) and read each box aloud. Check items in chat with ✅ as you confirm counts. Recheck after hunts, loot spikes, and every landmark on the Walkthrough.

Return to the Tools Hub for other planners. Pair with Survival so you know why cooked food and medkits matter, not only that you need them.

Quantities below are starting targets for a four-player push. Scale up for badge grind nights (Updates) or down for short tutorial loops (Getting Started).

Core supplies (tick every segment)

Medkits & medical

  • Medkits reserved for bleeds / boss chip damage (do not snack them for minor scrapes)
  • At least one kit accessible to Guard without opening three menus mid-fight
  • Extra bandages / healing items separated from “panic eat” food stacks
  • Someone named as med caller (usually Guard or Supply)

Why: Boss telegraphs and bandit bursts punish slow heals. See Bosses and Multiplayer for call timing.

Spare wheels & wagon parts

  • Spare wheel count announced in chat
  • Parts stored on Supply or Driver — not only on a Hunter who peels for loot
  • Repair stop planned before the next rough stretch
  • No “we will buy later” plan without knowing shop distance

Why: A broken wheel with zero spares turns a rich loot run into a campfire story. Drivers should refuse to YOLO night travel without parts.

Ferry cash & toll budget

  • Ferry / toll cash consolidated in one inventory
  • Buffer above the known toll (tips, misclicks, price swings after patches)
  • Cash holder name pinned in party chat
  • Emergency backup coins on a second player (small)

Why: Splitting coins across four bags causes ferry UI chaos. Recheck after API updates in case economy values shifted.

Cooked food (not only raw)

  • Cooked meals ready for the next two travel segments
  • Raw overflow scheduled for a cook stop — not eaten under sprint panic
  • Food weight balanced so one player is not overloaded
  • Storm / night buffer meals reserved

Why: Hunting success on Hunting & Loot means little if you never cook. Survival pressure spikes when the party only carries raw meat.

Ammo & hunting loads

  • Ammo pooled for the Hunter’s next loop
  • Boss reserve ammo sealed (do not empty the crate on prairie pests)
  • Flex DPS knows the spending limit
  • Pickup plan for spent casings / restock towns

Why: Empty magazines on a boss pull are a coordination fail, not bad luck. Guards should call “save bosses” when wildlife farm goes long.

Extended packing (strong clear / badge night)

  • Backup medkit stack beyond the minimum
  • Second spare wheel for long segments without shops
  • Lighting / camp items if night travel is expected
  • Loot bag space reserved (do not fill every slot with vanity)
  • Role reminder card: Driver / Hunter / Guard / Supply (Players)
  • Quit rule agreed (no silent leaves mid-boss)

Segment ritual (repeatable)

  1. Depart — full core checklist green.
  2. Post-hunt — ammo + food recount; cook if raw spiked.
  3. Pre-ferry — cash holder opens inventory on voice/chat confirm.
  4. Pre-boss — medkits + boss ammo + Guard calls ready.
  5. Camp — wheels, meals, and next landmark from the walkthrough.

Skip a ritual once and you will eventually skip a wheel.

Chat macros you can paste

Depart check:
Medkits? Wheels? Ferry cash holder? Cooked food? Boss ammo? Roles still set?

Pre-ferry:
Cash on @Supply — amount ____ — confirm before UI

Pre-boss:
Kits ready / ammo reserved / Guard calls active / no loot tunnel

Scaling for party size

  • 4 players: Use full targets; specialized seats.
  • 3 players: Merge Supply into Driver or Guard; keep checklist shorter but louder.
  • 2 players: Double recount frequency; avoid optional night routes.
  • Public randoms: Assume no shared discipline — carry personal meds and wheels even if you are “only Hunter.”

After patches

When Updates mention economy, badges, or API work (including the dated October notes), re-price your ferry buffer and retest whether shops still stock wheels at old costs. Checklists are living documents; stubborn quantities get parties killed.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers for Oregon Trail Roblox players.

What five supplies should I always check?

Medkits, spare wheels, ferry cash, cooked food, and ammo. Tick all five before departure, ferries, and bosses.

Who should hold ferry cash?

Consolidate toll money on one Supply or Driver inventory, with a small backup on a second player.

Why cooked food instead of raw?

Cooked meals are reliable under time pressure. Raw piles tempt panic eating and leave you underprepared for storms or fights.

How often should we rerun the checklist?

At departure, after hunts, before ferries, before bosses, and at camp after each major landmark.

Can a script manage supplies for us?

You should not rely on executors for packing. Use this checklist and fair play; see the Scripts Hub for risk context.
