how to repair motorboat?

[Dolomite83]

How do you fix a broken motorboat since the radial wheel only says "insufficient resources to repair" (but not what you need) and you'll need a character trained only in weight just for carrying half of the mats you need?

[Savage]

You should get all the materials and put them on a mount which can take some weight or if your boat is close enough to shore build a wooden dock as close as you can to it to make swimming less then try repair it. The other thing you can do is build a storage box on the raft and then put the materials in that and stand on the boat to repair it.

I have multiple storages on the boat and more than half the mats to build a new one (200 woods, 600 ingots, 100 obsidian, 40 black pearls, 200 polymers...), the problem is, even with 350 weight, i can't put all of them in my inventory and use them to repair it, and the boat has lost less than 1/5 of its health.

If only the game shows exactly what you need for repairs or let you repair it of a small % a time instead of all together.

You can go over 2x your weight by picking stuff up fro the ground, so have all the materials in a box, stand where you can repair the boat, drop items from the box and pick them up fro the deck of the boat. You should be able to get everything in your inventory this way.

even with a storage box has not been possible.with 250 weight I little to max 500 and therefore not assé to repair my boat. it is however broken that has 25% it's a real problem

I've had all the materials to repair the motorboat and still cant

Sound like you have a glitch. Did you build any platforms on the motor boat? You may be glitched looking at your damaged foundations and not the boat.

I just tested it out, cause I went and damaged my boat a bit with a Whale, so heres what I have so far for boat repairs *Mind you this was in admin mode because of the weight* but it solves everyone's questions regarding the motorboat repairs. My boat had about 9000 damage done to it, out of 32,000 HP..... heres the materials it used to get back full 32k HP.

1/3 damage (9,000 damage, 1/3 is 10,666 so just under 1/3)

Hide = 33
Fiber = 29
Metal = 193
Obsidian = 25
wood = 41
polymer = 65
Black Pearls = 10

Test it out for yourselves, see the difference in costs for different repairs, but this gives you an idea what to expect. The most material used was Metal, the rest you can carry with little trouble.

Yes this worked. I built a pair of tall closet boxes on either side of the steering station (cockpit) and then from on deck I 'dropped' the items I needed and they bounced on the closet box on the other side of the cockpit and fell within reach of the steering station, nicely contained within the cockpit. Then by picking them all up at once (F) my weight was over 400 but enough to do the repair with plenty left for later.
