I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this but i really would like to know, my char needs to find this other boat.


Is there some way you can communicate with another boat in the water? Or some way to get their attention other than circling around them?

It had been said that boats can sail around after the people are dead but will they ever dock/go to land so that someone may enter upon them?

also if someone undocks and then puts their boat to not move just sitting outside of the land, and then they die what happens with the boat then?

can you actually hit another boat yet? If you can are you able to push it to shore too?

No way has been implented.

They will not dock at the present time. There was a thought that if wheather get implemted then they would be beached possibly.

It will sit there for all of time. I am curious however if there are any boats out there that are neither docked nor sailing. There have been a few cases in the past were living character have had this happen. Dead chracters would not complain as much. I will look into this and see if something should be done with them.

No. Similar to how you can pass people on a trail without nudging them.

ok so boats with dead people are doomed to keep going until weather is implemented.

also the boat that had my char's friend if she is dead the boat is doomed to stay there since she just had undocked and stayed just outside of land unmoving.

too bad there isn't a way to identify a boat that is out in the water from another boat.
