Designated Drinker 16 Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) So i found a nice pattern that is even and i am happy with how the base of the hull is going to be set, but i am building the entire ship out of brick/clay/stone, before i put in the hours will it bug out/does stone weight the ship down make it go crazy? i have not seen a stone ship yet so curious to know if it is doable before i sink the time in.kinda scared my chests/workstations will vanish and i will lose all my items. i wanted a castle ship Edited December 31, 2017 by Designated Drinker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
V-Alfred 367 Posted December 31, 2017 i think it's doable, if it sink that would be better! You made a submarine.. but stones have texture shade issue when coloring, I suggest rotate it correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You made a submarine.. but stones have texture shade issue when coloring, I suggest rotate it correctly. yea there is two shades using the dark side, i thought there might be a reason i dont see any stone ships, i was thinking maybe they move slower?

Lupowop 31 Posted December 31, 2017 Totally doable... stone vs. wood vs. metal seems to have no "weight" effect. The only restrictions when building on a ship are "boundaries" to the sides, front, back, and height... at this moment you can place masts only on ship proper and not on any built objects ni explorer... in creative you can... so be aware of that... I'f I'm wrong on masts plz correct me but in my builds I cannot place them "on top of" structures in my ship... only on ship proper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Designated Drinker 16 Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) Hull is done manage to max it and have even squares, taking way longer to build this ship than i thought though, glitched the anchor inside the flooring Got the mast on in explorer mode via editor, since you are right you cannot put the mast on top of any item without the editor Edited December 31, 2017 by Designated Drinker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It looks awesome so far! I hate swapping to editor to fix my masts... but YES the ship will run on engines and boy do they move.... there is a post by a member that tested the ship speeds with sails and engines... He did a phenomenal job... Let me find it and I'll link it... But in my ship I run both sails and engines... sails are nice to have just as a backup when you "forget" to bring fuel for the engines... and oh... btw... cannot place engines anywhere other than ship hull in explorer as well..

Designated Drinker 16 Posted January 1, 2018 that is gpood to know but all them hours i put in, building the ship and i just logged in the game after yesterday logging out at night on my ship in a room on my ship i should say, and i log in i am in the sea in freezing water at night being chased by sharks and my ship is running away OH MY GOD! find where i died is going to be near impossible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedEagle_P1. 905 Posted January 2, 2018 I'd just save the ship to the editor just in case it all goes wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

V-Alfred 367 Posted January 2, 2018 oh dude, that happened to me last year. don't worry Ylands have "non-ghost ship" system already. So your ship should be not too far from your last known location. Do back up to your ship design in Editor composition could come in handy too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimbuck 746 Posted January 2, 2018 Happened to me once when my ip connection dropped out... I swam like crazy after the ship and it did stop eventually and i made it back on board with half a health heart and 3 hungry sharks zeroing in... I always log out after i have anchored near a yland... if I do get caught in open sea, and have to log out lower sails, drop anchor then hold onto the helm like a madman .... and then log out Has not happened again after adopting that procedure 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I feel the pain, scuba fins make it all a lot easier but you still have to let the boat sail out of view... Which is painful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

6Cowa6Bunga6 55 Posted January 4, 2018 i had a ship with 6 large masts, faster then the propeller pack. i had backward facing stairs and went down them while the ship was sailing. man thought i grew wings as i flew as i watched my boat sail away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
