Floating Logs

[LostManAbroad]

V.0.35 has just come out and one of the first things I see on the list of things changed is that players now drop carried logs when swimming. That is a terrible change if you are not going to finally make it so that logs float. Logs should float. They are made of wood.

At the moment though if a tree is chopped down and it is too close to the water then there is a good chance that one or more of the logs will fall in the water. This did not matter while we were able to swim down and pick them up but if you have now taken that ability away then you have just made it so there will be lots more wasted logs.

Suggestion: 1. Make logs float so you can swim out and push them back onto the shore. 2. If you won't make logs float (even though they should) then give back the ability to carry logs while swimming so we can retrieve the logs that so unnaturally sink to the bottom of the water.

They should update so that things that usually float actually float in-game. Sticks, logs, etc.

Yes, this is frustrating now. Logs just sitting underwater with no chance of being used.

I don't understand. This used to be a problem ages ago and then they fixed it by making it so that you could carry logs while swimming. Then in this update they suddenly changed it back. Fix problems that are actual problems. Are there actually people who have been complaining about being able to carry logs while swimming? I can't imagine that there are.

Technically you could carry a log while swimming irl, they already float. I see no reason for the devs to remove it.

for me, this looks like devs are trying to kill/make things a lot harder if you want to build on water...same way as they kill cave building by putting new system entrance which do nothing but try to cover loading.

Geese Lake was my favorite place to build and it dead now...I am not happy.

Floating logs would make sense and an ability to push it kind of like you can with the raft that you build.

this floating logs is something that should be apart of the game. and the floating shelter is good but would be nice to have an easyer way to move them.

Just use a raft to ferry the logs out onto the lake where you want to build...or make a dock.

I havent played in a little while but you can still carry logs down a rope as far as i know, just cant go through a hillside crack entrance.

Yes....we can do that but...it's not convenient as before isn't it. I wanted game to became harder but this is not what i have on my mind.....quite opposite in fact.
For me personally some changes are actually a step back rather than progress and dropping logs in water is one of them...if they float (so we can push them) that would be ok but this is step in wrong direction just like "new" cave entrance system. I am damn sure many people feel same......
I am nobody and there is no reason whatsoever for devs to listen to me but i feel game is going wrong direction...head trophies that do nothing or mini catapult to shoot.....tennis balls or stones?? Spending time on that is just wrong when there is so many other things to fix and add to make game better and challenging in terms of survival in wilderness (rabbits, lizards etc just spawn under your feet and water is literally everywhere...)...i am more and more disappointed.
On other hand spending time on new sounds was good and i like it. Thumbs up!

This is a great idea.

It should a least be made so that logs do float when dropped in water, then retreaval of these logs should be available through picking them up from the surface of the water while on a raft, possibly even putting a log holder on the raft so you can carry more than two at a time and control the raft simultaneously, making lake base building a lot easier.
