Blue Moth Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 So, everyone talks about how slow boats are, but i have a boat with 2 malbatross sails and 2 normal sails, which is really fast. so what's the problem? well, if there is a sea stack field up ahead, you turn the wheel so slowly that you crash before you can avoid it. So basically, you either have the world's slowest pancake or you just crash your boat! Please, Klei, let the number of the sails influence how fast they turn. The more sails, the faster they turn. This would make boating much more efficient for exploration and cause much less wasted resources.

QuartzBeam Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 3 hours ago, Blue Moth said: 2 malbatross sails and 2 normal sails You realize that anything past the 2nd Winged Sail does nothing, right? The boat's speed is capped. Also, one of the main advantage of Winged Sails is that they close instantly, which means you once you see an obstacle, you often still have time to close the boat. The trick is to first close the Winged Sails and then drop the anchor, since the anchor actually takes some time to take effect, whereas closing the sails will instantly slash your speed to the point you won't suffer more than a small bump.

Hornete Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I don't think this is nessacary. I've been able to drop my anchor(The slower your boat is, the faster you can turn), and quickly turn with the steering wheel to avoid the sea stack and go about my day.

chirsg Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 steering upgrades would make sailing feel less cumbersome. i'm for the concept but idk about your method, op Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/120608-scale-the-time-it-takes-for-a-boat-to-turn-with-the-number-of-sails/#findComment-1359711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
