Every time I go sailing the wind is against me. Once I decided to sail the other way because that was the way the wind was blowing.

The wind promptly changed direction to be against me again.

My friend gets on the rudder and it blows favorably for days.

I believe with the utmost certainty that the game and its wind system were deliberately created to troll me specifically, and some of the code may have bled into OP's game.

I would be very disappointed if anarchy happened to need complotism as a prerequisite.

Apparently your caps button "DO NOT WORK PROPERLY" either.

Would this be described as a "Knotie" problem? Because I don't like where the thread is heading.
Sadly I doubt a major change to sailing is on the Devs compass, unless one would like to Weigh in on this
I'll cast off now...

The wind system do work properly.

What do not work properly is you understanding the concept of tacking and how physics is applied in this game.

A search for "wind direction" and "sailing" may help you a lot.

Thorin :)

Edit: Defeating a certain boss may help you too.

For about 5 minutes.


And with a 15 minute cool down.

The problem is that so many people want to be able to just jump into their boat and sail without ANY wind dynamic at all, or have the wind always blowing the "right" way, instead of learning how to tack.

The wind isn't broken... It's blowing all over the place as intended.

Sailing is boring, especially when the wind is against you, plus fog/storms/submerged rocks are a problem. In short sailing is "brutal", which is the point of valheim.

I'm asking the devs to add capsizing your sailing boat because you sailed too closely into the wind- making it more realistic :D

I've had a boat (and a cart) capsize before. The boat rights itself. The cart does not.

The boat rights itself? Since when?

Only time I've seen an upside down boat in valheim was the portal-flip-boats bug, and that destroyed boats.

At least the cart is pretty easy to flip back up. I had it flip over once and started panicking a little. I have never seen the boat capsize.
