Possible to build a catamaran?

Recommended Posts

Hi,
I wonder if there is a way to build a catamaran out of two large ships?

it's possible to attach 2 hull ships, but the sail/engine only works at where it's attach to. That's why that kind of ship is not available in workshop ;)

[update] also the rudder only works for the ship which you 'driving/sailing' on.

You could try a catamaran using the ship as the central hull and then craft side hulls attached to it (technically a trimaran). I've seen a version of one but the side hulls were too small imo. Shameless plug: I made a trimaran using the boat:

Here is another example of using a Boat for making a Trimaran, this one is for long travels, ready to store a lot, and to help you survive any climate as well as cook the fish you get as you go.

That is a cute trimaran too. I like the idea with the chests on the ends. =)

I made a trimaran in the editor. Now i only have to read up on how to make it playable. =)

Thank you, YadNiMonde, for the istruction. It was easy to follow.

Somehow, somwhere, something went wrog tho. Some parts of the ship I made turned out white when I placed it ingame and one side of the ships new parts did not attatch properly. I guess it it a bug so I will post below picture in that thread also. I just wanted to place it here too and tell about my problems if someone desides to try and build a trimaran and look here.

It's the part closest where I marked each separate item that doesen't attatch to the ship properly. The part on the other side looks thesame and there it works good.

I've experienced the same thing with marine compositions. Sometimes colors change to white, or black, or both. I assume it's just a bug.

Yes, same here about the discoloring of some objects on ships or boats.

As for the unattached parts, i strongly recommend to first create your vehicle either in creative or explore, it will be irregular and not too pretty because of the waves (in case of the boat), but you are here SURE things ARE attached, then bring that game into the editor, and fine tune each part by moving/rotating it as you really wish to clean it all up, then you can save the composition and bring it back to a creative, for example, so that you can easily repaint all objects with original colors, then back to editor, save composition again, and now you are good to bring it wherever you want, normally... =)
