the Boat flip on the side every time

[Zanne]

Hello dear Stormworkers!
i've got the game since a week and i love it, i made my first boat after the tutorial in carrer and every think was good.

So i wanted to make a bigger boat in creative. I start to build and after 2 or 3 hours after having the form of my boat i spawn it in the world, and it flip on the right...
so i check waths wrong since 2 or 3 days and what ever i try to do it always (90% of the time) flip on the right!
I realy try a lot of change (the weight, the shape, the symetric... ) i even try with float on the both side but the boat prefer to flip...

So at this point i really need the help of the community because i can't find the solution for my boat... Thank's for you'r help stormworkers

PS: sorry for my english (i am french)

Upload your boat into the workshop so others can help figure it out! My guess is that it is too top-heavy. Until we can see your ship for ourselves, it could be a lot of things!

Alright so what I'm seeing is a lot of open space in the underside of the ship.I would say to lower your engine room into the bottom of your ship. Your topside structures are large and weigh a lot causing your ship to roll to its side letting the heavy top sink and the lightweight and buoyant bottom float. Imagine a log with a large stone attached to one of its sides. The log will float in the water but it will always roll to allow the rock to sit lower in the water. This same principal applies to your ship.

Although I think the ship looks excellent! just configuring your design to utilizing the space within your hull is key to stabilizing your ship's roll. Lower your weight by moving your compartments should fix your problem.

If there is anything else I can do for you, let me know!
