Raft multiple motor question?

[MythN7]

does using more than one make you go faster?
I cant tell very obviously if it does or not.
I am running 4, and you would think compared to 1, you would be bouncing off the waves lol.

Saw a video of someone who used a cheat to add 20 engines....Looked the same speed as one engine.

I think you just need 1 engine per 100 foundations and any more then that does nothing from what I can see

I can confirm that with exactly 97 foundations, two engines are faster than one.

I know that if you have between 100 and 110 you go half speed with 1 engine. Maybe its from 90 to 110?

Is the engine stuttering or actually moving but slower with 97?

well i just added a few more raft parts and now when i turn just 1 engine on the wheel chugs like how they do when the anchor is down, so i cant move at all unless im using 2 now.

Engine doesn't stutter. It's just a little bit (not massively so) faster with 2 engines than 1. I was only able to confirm the difference by swimming behind the raft.

A bit dissapointing that additional sails don't increase the speed, this is unrealistic so i had to mod that better, as for motors same thing i guess, long live the modding community for making games what they are today.

I did some more testing today. I cut out over 30 foundations from my raft (putting my total number of foundations into the 60s), and I still needed two engines to hit maximum speed. It may be that it's simply not possible to hit maximum speed with less than two engines, even if you would otherwise fulfill the requirements.

More engines = more speed

Remember one engine is good for 100 foundation blocks

They do not increase your speed. They only seem to enable you to move against the wind and that is it. Wind effects are disabled while the engines are moving the raft. Run your engines and try doing anything with a sail at the same time and you can see yourself.
