Can't build a dinghy on the sea?

[julie2]

Since when? Is this meant to be the case? Or is it another damned bug?

If this is a delibrate change, can you suggest what else my char can use as a cargo hold on a sloop. And can you suggest what else we can use to board stolen longboats?

Since about 36 hours ago ...

This is a fix to a bug where some boats could be built in any location
(Dinghy, Longboat, Darter and Sloop). Now they can be built only in
"town" locations which border a sea and/or a lake, as has always been intended.

This brings them into line with all other boats which can only be built in sea or lake locations.

You can still use a dinghy, you will just have to build it on land .

How do I go about that? I tried building a dinghy in Siom, and it said I have to build it in a location which borders a lake. There are only so many locations which border a lake AND a sea (Well Only one that I ever heard of, and on anothr land mass eentirely ) So are the people who live in thse locations going to be only people on Cantr who can build ocan-going dinghies from now on? That's very much how it looks

If so, we badly need an alternative to the dinghy which places llike Siom CAN build. It's going to take forever for that one little town to supply a Cantr -wide demand for dinghies.

Oh, and I treally think these things should be announced in advance. It took me years to build the sloop, then get togethr enough wood for a couple of dinghies as well. Now it all falls to bits at th final hurdle, and I have to re-think. I'm getting fed up of findin myself in that sort of position.
No wonder most Cantrians are apathtic. It maks SENSE to be apathetic.

Go back to Siom and try again,

Dinghys were incorrectly fixed a few days ago before the other boats (around Wednesday or Thursday), so that they could only be built in a place bordering both sea and lake. You can now build them in a place which borders either .

Actually you could never build other vehicles inside vehicles , they always had to be in an outside "town" location . This fix stops people building boats halfway up mountains .

*points at the weather thread* But when that gets implemented and its bugged and we get 60 days and nights of rain, we'll NEED those boats halfway up mountains.

Guess that means no more "Survival Coffins" aka, roleplaying an upside down dinghy for storage, on Aki.

That new Shack is comperable to a building the approximate size of a Dinghy, so it works out.

And doesn't come with a built in lock , a bit more realistic ....
