I think you mean a Raft… I have a feeling if the Devs here created us an actual Boat it would be too big to store, so you’d have to sail around and park it at a dock – not pick it up and carry in your pockets. :slight_smile:

It might be helpful for sure especially with water worlds. I would like Backpacks first before this though.

I think a boat/raft would be great. I would rather have a sub though.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Because picking up anything bigger than 900 blocks and storing them in your diaper is absurd. You need pants for that.

And Im all for the idea of needing docks! More reason to build things. *As long as boats are not so complicated to make that we will only want to make one or two.

I don’t think we will see a boat or something like that any time soon.

Seeing it from the development side it probably is way too complicated, they would have to think about the design, a crafting recipe (how many boats per craft will you get?), Are these going to eventually break? If so how will they lose durability? Are we going to to end up in the middle of the ocean when it breaks?

There is a lot to think about.

I’m sure devs already have ideas about this, but I don’t think this is a priority for them right now :frowning:

Not to mention that you’d have to grind alot of materials to get that boat and then the playerbase would complain about more issues about how they can’t get a boat because it’s gated behind exo worlds, etc… :slight_smile:

Yeah, we don’t have to travel to the moon to make boats now but that’s not how Boundless crafting logic works.

Boat ingredients:
Wood
Glue
Exo… Plant… Juice…? Because, reasons.

Boat please :heart: (and fishing)

Maybe there could be different tiers of boats, sort of how boxes are.
There’s wood, stone, metal, gleam…

Well, with those ingredients, your boat would sink within a couple of hours. But if you wanted something more durable? Then you’d have to throw in stones or whatever. And what about boats that could deal with the harsh environments on exo planets to help you explore? Then,you’d need exo rocks/mats. And what if you wanted something prettier as well? Then there’s gleam boats. But why stop there? How about gleam ornate boats? The possibilities are endless :slight_smile: I"m being tongue in cheek but this is Boundless logic…

Yeah my boat would definitely not be heavy enough to displace enough water to float :rofl:

Yes please!!! Boat me up!! But one catch. I want to build it from my blocks please!!.

Wrong!! That and space is on the roadmap - don’t get it removed… many people will be mad and might end up building a death star and pointing it to your planet — boom.

i think if they made something for transport it would have to be an inventory item. Can’t be leaving boats floating around wherever people ditch them. I guess they’d regen as normal, but would they not regen if you ditched them in someone else’s plot? That idea is so far from current processes it would probably need its own layer in the game.

If it worked like grapples though I could see that being added today. Maybe we can just start with like… a surfboard? Lol or can we just hop in an empty bucket and zip around?

we could have another tab for equipping certain things, it could have a slot for a boat/sail, pet, armor…

(would be cool if we could let it sit in our personal plots and it wouldn’t regen)

I think that’s just it. Now time for another Beacon permission to designate it as a Dock and protect variable blocks inside such as another players boat. "Cant fit your boat? find another dock or build your own.

Or really: the boat is a 5 time use and stacks singularly in a SS and regens if left unattended. New forge boon to pick it up. That’s prolly the realistic way to go. Like the minecraft version.

I definitely don’t think we need to use forge/a new boon for boats…

SS of boats might be the way to go, but it would be really cool to see your ship/canoe/amphibious seacraft at your dock

What if when you jumped out of your boat, or something it would auto go into your inventory, but you could chose to place it by your dock?

This way you have less of a chance losing your boat

I would fit in this game a system of vehicles built with blocks. Blocks that levitate or fly with physics similar to CUTTLETRUNK type mobs and an impulse or thrust motor system with physics similar to SNOW SPITTER type mobs. A limit in number and form in the blocks as the portals that affects their consumption. I would really get to love this. Blocks for the chaste of different levels and environments (with a future development line for space and underwater). Multi-level engine blocks, a control block for a player to drive the vehicle, something like that …
