Wind direction dont change

[Makani]

the wind has blown the same direction the whole day, it supposed to change isnt it?

[Grezko]

Nope. Wind direction is constant. The easiest way to alter your direction by using your sail.

[valenok))]

Yes, the wind direction should change. But it seems there is a bug that it stops doing it. And ceases to change the weather and spawn "random" Islands or rafts.

[valenok))]

I had it after visiting a cruise ship.

[Borfoid]

I'm not sure it ever changed.

When we didn't have a rudder that little wind checker only moved when I bumped my raft in to an island.

If you look at the back of your raft there's a little bit of "wake" on it. That indicates the direction you're moving which is - I think - linked to the "wind direction" of the raft.

Could be wrong though... But pretty sure that the windsock and that salty wake at the back are sort of linked.

I noticed after I visited the cruise ship and got the engine blueprint that the wind was permanently blowing away from the new island. It seems that it's intentional as the game seems to want you to have engine power before you go to the new island (since that's the only way to get there as once you find it the wind blows you away from it forever.)

[Borfoid]

I used paddle power.

You don't need an engine when you have paddles and pure determination.

Stop yourself moving away, get a lump of mats, build paddles, PADDLE!

And that's how Popeye got them huge forearms.

I eats my cooked beets... I would eats my spinach but, so far, I can't.

Maybe in a future chapter?
And also...we've got seaweed...and fish...just need rice and bam! Sushi!

[Borfoid]

We need Sushi. That is all.

Slightly less offtopic compared to Vladislav and Rio :D, i love the new engine + steering wheel combo(i am even not bothered any more about having to repick the steering wheel in order ot reset it). Rotate raft in the direction , switch engines on and voala. Speed is pretty descent 2.5m/s, i don't have an island in front of me to measure the speed with sails and just plain drifting yet. Will do that next.

This thread certainly entered a new dimension

ya seems the wind always goses the same direction i missed the first tower i set my ancure but my raft still drifted off to i went after it now i cant get back to the tower because its againt the wind to the sail dose nothing
