Motor Boat Structure Limit

[Hauler Bob]

How many items can you place on the motor boat vs the regular raft. Does anyone know?

143 to like 75

Wait, 143 items per motor boat? How did you confirm? Damn. Thats awesome

138 items per boat

Oh, great! I hope that endurance against Leedsychtis will be much higher than for Raft...

I put a motorboat in the water, placed 20 foundations down, 20 pillars on that, 20 ceilings on that, 20 pillars on that, etc. 138 is the structure limit I hit.

I then drove the boat out into deep water, spawned a Leedsichthys (level 1) and let it chew on the boat. Hits for 603 every time, and the boat has 32,000 health. That means it will last 53.x hits before killing the raft on the 54th hit. That's a LONG time. If your motorboat dies to a Leedsichthys you AFK'd in a place that Leedsichthys can get. For a long time.

Also, the motorboat can outrun a Leedsichthys easily. So the motorboat for the most part can ignore them.

However if you are letting a Leedsichthys chew on your motorboat so you can see how hard it hits, and you have no structures on it at all to protect you, do not let go of the rudder, or the AE will kill you in a couple hits. I discovered this while trying to see the health of the boat after a hit. :)

It is the new rafts can take a good beating as long as your difficulty isn't over 7.0 you will be fine.

It's more than the titano's limit

On redit they say 128 items

Still more is good.

I wish Leeds could be blocked completely tho. I use to run completely out of Raft bases and it was great. Was looking foreward to having more.

I wonder if you can put underwater Tek base blocks under a Motorboat.

maybe park your raft/motorboat in a 'pen' made with tech stuff :P

Since I didn't see anyone with a newer post I figured I'd add this for anyone else wondering.... I just built my first motorboat.... 9x10 Stone foundations for the base, two 3x3x3 rooms, sharing one wall, and only one room has a ceiling, but there's a 3x3 ramp leading up into the room with no ceiling (my aggressive trap room, room with ceiling for trapping fliers). Built a 3x3x2 room on top of bird trap room with a fabricator, generator, 2 refrigerators, a chem station, industrial grill, Industrial forge, a smithy, and 3 Large Storage cabinets. Also have a one high wall surrounding the rest of the boat, 4 dino gates&doors, some extra ramps, 2 bunk beds.... I think that's all... but well above 200+ structures...

Not sure why everyone else is saying 128

[eugee]

They are saying 138 because it's 138. You either are on a server with increased build limits for boats, or can't count. I'm assuming the former.
