GUYS YOU CAN REPAIR BOATS


Recommended Posts

Eureka! I've found it! The answer was so simple all along! No longer will we have abandon our beloved bases on water due to a bump too many!

...

Jokes aside, if you right click on the boat with a board, you'll repair it for 25 health. 

I don't know if anybody else found it before me, but if they did, let me know. But like, let me know tomorrow so I can have my 15 seconds of glory.

Yeah, just right click it with anything wood.

Even sticks.

Good catch! I tested it out in game myself to see if the values were any different. Here's what I found:

-----------------------------

Repair values:

Board - 25 HP

Living Log - 19 HP

Twigs: 13 HP

Log : 6 HP(???)

----------------------------

Seems (currently) the best thing to patch a boat up with would be twigs, though I'm guessing that'll be changed at somepoint in the future since, well, twigs aren't better than logs. I'm guessing either 1. They did this so four logs would be less effective than one board. Or 2. The values for Twigs and Logs are switched up somehow.

I couldn’t get this to work. Do you have to be off the boat when you do it?

I'm actually having the same issue, this isn't working for me. Patched?

It's a Beta, it's wonky.

Also, 80% certain this is intentional, as there's wood in the water you can repair the boat with (Driftwood) in dire situations.

Now, this only works for the host of the boat, the first one on it, it seems. Sometimes not, but that's mainly the case.
Just stand on the boat, drag wood, it should glow/highlight and then right click to repair it.

too expenceve to repair boat, cheaper is to build whole new one totally equiped

Not if your boat has a fridge, an alchemy engine, a crockpot, several masts, an anchor, a steering wheel and several chests full of loot from the lunar island, it's not.

How did you put it all in a single boat? Must be very cramped.

speaking of stuff falling off the edge, sometime structure will just fall off and sit in the ocean

 

^^^ This.

The boats work like turf, but sometimes when you place an item to close to the edge it'll mistaken the ocean for turf/the boat and stick to it.

Sometimes it just happens, it's wonky.

I think they only fixed the moment that you craft it, when the boat starts moving is when the structure start falling off the boat.

One issue is that when your boat becomes faster, its harder for the structure to 'keep up' and know that theyre supposed to be attached to the boat.

fridge - wraps

an alchemy engine - why, u need only once for reciepe

crockpot, - still wraps

several masts, an anchor, a steering wheel - maybe, but not shure

and several chests full of loot from the lunar island, - just drop them on new boat, without any chests

since wraps appear, u dont need lots of items in game

or if u love to collect items - just create new backpacks

 

its still too expencive for me, dont see a reason to do it

It’s day 22. I hadn’t  crafted everything yet, let alone killed the bee queen. The boat is my base.

Probably most players aren’t going to want to sail to the lunar island straightaway on starting a run, though. It’s a lot of wood to chop.

And at any rate, I still can’t repair it with any item, apart from the leak kit.

yeah, wish I knew what was up with this. I have a boat I'd very much like to repair. 

 

Am I seriously the only know who can do this? 

No mods, not often. 

This is odd.
