Suggestions / Issues / Bugs
All bugs should be fixed in last patch, no known bugs at the moment.
Idea: I might adjust the HP per raft in a future update
Also experimenting with a larger platform size, for easier dino transportation.

My Issue is on the Mobile Base, Seen others comment on Battleship too.

Exiting raft places you in or below the raft, I think it places inside the raft due to ground level beneath the craft, mainly because I'm swimming when I exit in open ocean as opposed to landing on/next to a beach. Best help I can give you on feedback of this bug I think :/

hey Paul, I have also noticed that if you build a 1 high structure, sometimes you dimount in the ceiling, but are able to move forward. As I reported the first night, the issues with dismounting can occur without any structures, so I don't think that is the issue. I had the issue with no other mods loaded. My issues were with Hunter and Battleship. Water depth didn't seem to be an factor. Happens in first and third person view. Speed boat seemed to be fine, so you may be onto something with the perspective change. That is all the data I can think of.

FYI - I have had the same issue with exiting the rafts, and finding myself halfway in and needing to keep trying to enter/exit until I am standing properly. I have NOT had this problem with the Speed Boat. But I have had it with Speed Hunter, Battleship and Mobile Base. I have tested this problem with being zoomed all the way in, all the way out, halfway, doesn't seem to rely upon the zoom though, it can happen with any of them.


In the case of the Battleship one, all I have is a flat stone bottom of max foundation count - intended as a dino transport. Having trouble with that too where sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, in that I'll try to move forward (or backward) and it will just keep twitching, it won't actually move. That might be weight related, though.

EDIT: Not sure what the twitching mentioned in the 2nd paragraph is really about. I was able to take a load of dinos in a straight line across the northern waters on the Center map using the mentioned configuration, but it would randomly just come to a complete stop, like a hiccup, every few moments. Sometimes it would go smooth for 10+ seconds, others only a few seconds, but then it would hitch. It wouldn't even get stuck - it just stops and immediately starts building speed again. The whole time I was simply holding down the forward (W) key.

Sometimes I too get exiting issues with the Battleship raft and get a *lot* of twitching/rubberbanding when running across it as well

EDIT: Also seems to be a bug that some dinos on modded rafts randomly vanish. Had it happen to a bear of mine, oddly not the stego or ankylo next to it. It reappeared after I got far enough away and returned to the raft.

Same as R8iate88 happening on both the Mobile and the battleship.

Battleship is what I am currently building on and it's quite weird. At times it won't do it at all then other times it won't stop doing it. This is on the centre map.

Also a real super weird bug: I was building on the battleship with no problems. I moved it to shore and all of a sudden every building piece I placed went on a 45 degree angle eg ceiling tile looked like a ramp and and pillar was on the diagonal. As soon as I moved the raft away from the shore line everything was able to be placed correctly.

Thanks all for the response, we are trying to figure it out.... the building pieces what nexventor is mentioning, thats very weird, I doubt it's our mod... very strange.

Only had two problems so far (I'm using the Battleship), the dismounting issue and I can't place anything on walls on the ship such as paintings, the map, torches, etc. Everything breaks as soon as it's placed.

Speedhunter is the boat that glitches if you cancel control. I tried to avoid that with installing a ramp downwards at the control. Mostly funtioning, but yesterday I was heavily stuck. Without the ramp you are always stuck in the boat. Speedboat seems not to have that bug. I didn't try the other boats yet

When i sometimes exit the battleship I am stuck in a mode that is somewhere between walking and flying. I could not use items and seem to jump for longer distances. After i use the cheat walk or mounted and dismounted a dino it then i was back to normal.

Confirmed. This is extremely annoying, because it keeps you hostaged sometimes, while it's not useful when you have to exit while sharks are round you.

Is there any way for a workaround or a way to fix it ?

I am still testing...
Paulkravis  [developer] Jun 20, 2016 @ 7:16pm 
OK, finally fixed the glitching into the raft bug!

I will update this mod Tuesday, 17:15h GMT
Rotation faster & glitching into raft fixed!
Thanks to suboshi for testing
