RESOLVED Ship jumps when picking

[BigBoss87 68]

Hi

I was playing yesterday and I made a ship of 4 large masts.
During the construction of the ship, whenever I build something and if I take what I put the ship jumps sideways.

By putting a chest on the ship on a polar island, I ended up putting my ship on many pieces of land because the ship jumped that way, and it was a great punishment to get him out of there.

Fortunately all the effort was not in vain, I recovered the ship.

Curious if you are all building while the ship is anchored, or not?

I build while anchored and haven't had this issue? 

While not anchored, the boat moves with the waves and it would make placing very hard!

I'm having the same issue.

Maybe that is what I've been experiencing also. I find it extremely difficult to build on my ship in first person mode - I have capsized multiple times when building in first person mode

I made a large ship with four large and three smaller masts, and i have to be very careful because it starts bucking and careening if I make too many moves.

The more things you add to a ship, the less stable it becomes.  I am not sure that is actually a bug. One- and two-masted ships seem very stable. Sometimes t helps to be in first person mode and sometimes it is better in third person mode. 

Now I make sure anytime i add or pick, I wait a minute for the ship to fully stabilize before proceeding.

 

I don't do any workstation crafting on this ship, I would imagine that could be very unstable. maybe make a slow boat for crafting and a fast one for exploring ... I tend to prefer though to just craft at my land base.

In my case is a thing that I always do.
