Boat cabines

[.::. MysticGötén .::.]

This has been suggested before, but nothing really happened to it, so I bring it up again .

Cabins or other buildings on a boat would be really convenient, since it has a lot of advantages. The only disadvantage could be the speed of the boat which could be a bit reduced.

You could store stuff in it, drag people in it you don't want messing around with the sailing, get some privacy , make some objects in such as; beds, chairs, or even anvils etc...

I don't see why it has not been implemented yet.

[Anthony Roberts]

It hasn't been implemented because it's not yet possible. From what I understand, there's a way to add a room to a building once the boat is completed (Automatically). But of course, that code needs to be tested, so it might not work at all.

Secondly, the Building code would need to be changed so that it can be built on only particular boats instead of none (Ie: No longer check if you're on a boat and give you error, but now it would have to check what boat your on and if buildings are allowed on that one (For size. A raft won't have a room on it...)).

Thirdly, new rooms would need to be designed to be small enough to fit the raft, and have a weight value so that the 'walls' slow down the boat.

Forthly (Is that a word?), the boat code would need to be edited to check each rooms storage to add to the boat (So that you don't throw everything in the room and go SUPER FAST down the coastal highway because the boat doesn't compensate for weight inside)

Fifthly (...?), ... Actually, I don't have a fifth. But I'm sure there is one. And a sixth and seventh as well. You'd have to ask Thomas or someone that knows.

That hasn't stopped you before

About a room in a raft... that would seem to be neither possible nor logical lol.

About the weight, how about barrels and other storage devices on boats?

But if it really is impossible, that would be to bad and less realistic, but not the end of the world . Perhaps it will be something for the next cantr version.

Room on a raft isn't necesatily unrealistic. Rafts IRL come in a wide range of sizes. Bigger ones can have small houses on the deck. I don't know what size the cantr raft is.

[.::. MysticGötén .::.]

I don't think a house on any raft is possible, but the cantr raft only needs 1800 grams of wood. That makes it very small.

It does just take a log in to check.

But I want a cabin/room extension like thing now............ *whines, bitches and complains* Spoil me, let prog dept do it, instead of always going around fixing cantr.

How about a houseboat that requires aluminium and inbred relatives?

[.::. MysticGötén .::.]

If you would be able to build houses on large ships as the raker, galleon or ferry, then that could function as a house boat, or hotel


It would be nice if you had 2 areas on the boat, the deck, and the cabin of the "captain" in which you need to steer. So steering would only be possible in the cabin. (moving between the two areas could be the same as entering/leaving a house)
And that you could go down deck (don't know much boat language) using the cabin, and down deck you could make little cabin houses.
That would make it realistic

[The Hunter]

What you suggest is 3 spaces then? Deck, hold, cabin?

But yeah, I'd love it if some of the larger ships would have some means of storage, seperate of the main area. It shouldn't be to big, could hold only a few ppl and some resources, while the bulk should be stored on deck. But then I think it would require more resources to build and no possibility should be given to add more spaces. If simple machinery could be built in the cabin, like a small oven, that'd be perfect.
The galleon would be perfect to use as such a ship. (Actually, the galleon would need several ppl to sail).

your idea is even better, but what else can we expects from a sailor and expert in boats

It already is possible to build some machines on a ship to cook. I won't say what machines otherwise anthony will edit my text again *looks scared around himself while typing this*
But if more, bigger and more efficient machines could be build, then that would be better. A ship now is just seen as 1 big area. While that would be far from true for many boats in cantr.

I was tempted to build one of those on a car once- but it seemed too unrealistic. So I didn't build that machine.

[.::. MysticGötén .::.]

The weird part is, that the machine we are talking about would actually endanger the whole boat since it is not very safe when you use it, and boats are mostly made of wood and can get on fire very easy.

I noticed it can also be made on bikes lol

[Spectrus_Wolfus]

fires have been used on boats for centruies if not longer how else did they cook stuff? fire on boats can be dangerous but so can fire on land if ya don't look after it properly

Mystic, have you never heard of a HouseBike? Man, where've you been? Only in Cantr could you be creative enough to fit a firepit in the front basket of your bike... You know, cook some horse while you're peddling away... Healthy AND Yummy! What a deal!

Not to mention cook, grill, build tools, make clothes or do what it is you do when driving.
