Am I missing something or are boats stupid

[gruevy]

Sail across, die, lose the boat, go dig up materials for another one. They're not cheap. Is that just how it is? They improved the game in so many other ways but decided this pointless penalty needed to remain in place?

Punished in a survival game, darn

You only really need one extra boat, with which you can go retrieve your original boat back where you died. Just don't die again before heading back to base (or wherever you dock your boats; I leave mine next to Omoroth's waypoint) to drop off the backup boat.

I guess that's fair. hmmmmm

My question is where are you guys finding lakes that justify the need for a boat? I have yet to in 40+ hours to find anything large enough to even call a lake..

Deep sea biome beyond the wall, it is a vast majority of deep ocean water

High recommend to carry 2 (Speed)boat and put both of them in quick slot
but if you don't want to carry spare then just be careful and use bed to recover in safe space you made before continue explore

[Ishimuro]

if you dont like boats, just use wood bridges, wood is endless, just build your paths and dont use a boat

[Rothgar57]

I just use bridges. I just made a wood farm. Got crafting to 100 by making bridges. Which yields around 15k bridge tiles. boats become not relevant.

[gruevy]

It feels dirty putting bridges over all that water tho haha

The ocean's main threat is the boat yes. Even speeders are pretty clunky, so you need to play carefully in order to not get killed. My recommendation is to level up a range skill tree (magic or physic) and to keep to the open sea. If you have to go in a narrow pass, dissembark, as you'll have a safer trip on land digging through an island than you'll do on water surrounded by tentacles.

And if it's of any reassurance, they nerfed the spawns, Ocean used to be littered with hundreds of tentacles everywhere.

About ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time. I stopped playing for a while because of those stupid tentacles.
