Any tips or tricks?

I really wanna love this game however I keep having constant issues.
I get a random mission like rescue 4 people from a burning picnic boat and return them to a hospital. I get to the scene and throw on some fire gear along with an extinguisher. I jump into the water to cross over to the other boat and I have trouble getting onto the boat, finally get aboard and extinguish the area around a few of the civs and then grab one and jump back in to swim to my boat. Back at my boat same thing, I can't get in and after a few attempts from going around the boat to find the "sweet spot" I either am able to get aboard... OR the entire thing just decides to flip..... Its consistent no matter how many restarts of the game I do lol it seems to constantly flip my boat or not let me back onboard entirely. Any tips or am I missing something?

Also how do I connect or build upon a ship? I put 2 batteries on a ship and it says it isn't connected to electrical. I can't find wire or anything in the inv screen... What would it need to be connected to for it to be connected to the ships main power? I was trying to create a backup battery system like an auxiliary to run stuff off of instead of running the ship 24/7 for power. The tutorial wasn't much of one and even when I was doing it I had the same flipping issues and a seperate but similar one was the weather was fine, according to the water it was smooth and yet I left the base for a mission and the boat would NOT stay stable it was swaying side to side, dipping and bobbing lol like i was in 30ft waves in a pontoon...

Am I missing something or is the game just not good with physics yet?

Some random ideas:

- Search for crates, it is the best way to earn easy money early on. Visit lighthouses and unhabitat islands, you may find some.

- Have a water cannon or a fire hose aboard to deal fire with the distance.

- Add a pair of magnet all at your ship bow, move slowly close to the distressed boat and get attached to it. It will be easier to jump for one boat from another carring all the stormwork dummies.

- The electric/logic/wire/video/etc connections are done using the lightbulb icon at the top of the editor screen.
