Phydeux 0 Posted June 25, 2019 Just built my first large ship with 1 large mast, 1 fore bit, 1 aft bit, and a helm. Nothing special. And when I try to take the helm, it gives me an error about it requiring either sails or an engine. The mast is flush with the ship's surface, so it should work. Also, can anyone explain why the base part of the ship is surrounded in these sparkly lines as if it's not really there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phydeux 0 Posted June 25, 2019 Never mind. Discovered that my mast only looked connected. Put a small mast at the fore and it suddenly came together leaving the mast floating there looking stupid. Might be nice to have a way of determining if things are connected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimbuck 746 Posted June 25, 2019 Ship construction is a bit of a mystery at the moment... the latest upgrades to ships etc seem to have created issues.... hopefully they can be fixed soon, as the game stagnates if you cannot sail anywhere.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bojo2736 1016 Posted June 27, 2019 The blue lines and the float devices show that you are still in construction mode. You have to go to the helm and hit E to close construction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
