3rd location unreachable

[✪ xRR]

Hey guys,

I’ve found the coordinates for the third location. I’ve put these into my receiver and it showed me that the location is 1800 "behind" me. I rotated my raft "with the steering wheel" in this direction but the number is still rising. No matter what I’m doing. Had anyone else this problem?

' Opposing Wind ' when trying to reach Balboa Island.
Engine or paddles could get one there.

Try searching keywords
' Streamer ', ' Paddles ', ' Opposing wind ', engine, ' Can't Get to '...

I had this exact problem. It was the first time I had built a steering wheel and engines. No matter what I did, the numbers just kept rising.

I'm not sure which of the things I did solved the problem, but these are some of the things I did.

- removed engines, sail, steering wheel, and receiver
- closed and then reopened the game
- put all the stuff i had removed back (this time I arranged them in a way so that my steering wheel was behind my radar and I could see the screen while steering)

and i haven't had a problem since

Ok.. the Problem was the engine. It didn’t move properly. I built a foundation around the engine for protection against the shark.. but if you do that the engine just doesn’t work. As soon as I destroyed the foundation around it everything was working fine. Thank you guys ^^

If the engine was ' stuttering ' and not rotating properly initially,
hence not enough to move against the wind,
likely its due to excessive foundations for your engine,
each could only support 100 foundations before slowing down, and fails to move.

do the engines actually fail to move if there are too many foundations? or do they just slow down?

[Sigh-Phi-Guy]

they "LOOK" like they slowed down but in reality they are providing ZERO propulsion.

Had same problem ... we ended up using the paddles to get there!
