Boat taking constant damage for seemingly no reason
Ok so I've seen a couple questions like this but the go to answers aren't working so I'm gonna be kinda annoyingly specific
I'm on a solo world, playing on Deck, and no mater where I am (shallow water, deep water, meadows, Forest) if I put down a raft or boat and get onto it my screen shakes violently and the boat will take 10 damage every couple of seconds until the boat is destroyed.
It doesn't take damage if I'm not on the boat but the boat will shake in the water.
At first I thought it might be an enemy or boss I had to fight but I couldn't find anything in my world???
And this is making any boat exploration impossible
(Idk if it's relevant but I've beaten the Elder and the meadows deer guy tho I accidentally summoned the Elder twice cause I kept dying and the first one wandered off oops)

It's not tied to any purposeful gameplay mechanic or progression, and there've been a couple other posts describing this same issue. I don't know that a fix was found, however.

It's weird but intended. Not sure exactly why. I think it's to show ya the karve and raft aren't meant necessarily for huge ocean excursions without some sort of penalty? The longboat takes this same damage far less often.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

So I looked into it there's a fix and I just needed to restart my game

Yep, it is a current bug listed on their site:

"Boats take constant damage until the game is restarted"
