Boat

[itsKodythew0lf]

I think a boat should be added or something to go out on a lake, and add fishing stuff.

You must be new to the game. This is not that type of game.

Its also been discussed many times before. Old topic.

Its unnecessary. There's no opportunity to use a boat. There's a lot of other things that are ALREADY in the game that need to have purpose made for them. Dont wanna add ole SteamboatMcGee to that list.

Man you guys are harsh. I have a 16k map I made with Teragon that features a lot of water including wide rivers. I grabbed up a boat mod to deal with it. Kinda like a water-going bicycle.

I'd love a ARK or The Forest styled boat/raft base but for that they need to improve water generation.

Cause other than custom maps or maybe Navezgane. There wouldn't be any opportunities to fully utilize boating feature.

Somewhat related: Cruise ship / tourist steam river boat POIs would be fun too.

Back around alpha 12, you could make a block float on top of water, then build off that as much as you like, I made a massive floating pirate ship, zombies would sink to the bottom and couldn't reach me lmfao, but I had a horde base too, and you could also make floating islands the same way.

Not what you're asking, but similar

So you used mods to create a problem that you then fixed with another mod and so you want a solution to a problem that doesn't exist in the base game added to the base game?

You're literally the example he made of being harsh. To me it sounded more like making a custom map with lots of water features and a boat mod to make the most of it. Unlikely to get added to the game due to most RWG maps not working out, but on a custom map, boats could be useful.

Nevermind that there hundreds of junk cars on the map, you can build a ride and even a gyrocopter, but can't make or find a boat?

Where was I being harsh? I didn't demean or belittle him, I merely pointed out that by his own words he didn't need a boat in the base game, the need only arrived after installing mods. Problems (as in gameplay challenges, not bugs) created by mods should be addressed by mods.

What exactly are you reading? Max (the person you quoted) never said they didn't need a boat in the base game, and nobody in this entire thread said anything about having any problems caused by any mod whatsoever.

The OP suggested adding boats and fishing to the game, and the first 2 responses were snarky remarks and the 3rd comment said it was unnecessary. Then Max simply said they were being harsh and he created a custom map with lots of water and installed a boat mod to get the most use out of it. Implying that he agreed with the OP's suggestion and that they should add boats and fishing to the game.

Back to the OP's point. At some point, I'd like to see boats and fishing as well. But not until the water mechanics are fixed, the zombie swimming animations/actions are fixed, and the new weather system they are apparently working on is finished. That way, there's at least some sort of a risk/reward threat, which there isn't right now.

Thank you. I will look into the mod.

Those would be fun.

No, I’m far from new to the game. I just think since they have cars and trucks everywhere, and a helicopter, they should add a boat or something bc it sucks when an airdrop falls directly in a lake. Plus, you can cook a wide variety of foods, but no fish. I want to make a lakeside cabin with a boat dock, and a functional boat. I do agree that aquatic poi’s would be a cool exploration. Also, it gets kinda boring when you visit the same poi’s constantly.
