I love magnets!


Recommended Posts

I love magnet carousels!

What you'll need to build:

  • Atleast 3 boats, the more the merrier!
  • A magnet and magnet beacon for each boat
  • 1 Sail, oars are too weak for the first momentum

Once you have all those:

  1. Place a boat and sail some distance away from land, then place the rest of the boats in a circle
  2. Place the magnets in the centre of each boat
  3. Pair each magnet beacon to a magnet
  4. Place a beacon on the next ship clockwise/counter clockwise, don't mix these up else it will fail
  5. Place a sail on one of the boats and let it go!
  6. Once far out with enough speed, drop the sail!
  7. ???
  8. CAROUSEL!!

Omg this is genius! What a perfect way to get across deep oceans where docks can not be placed! 

You should do a full breakdown video on this, It would go viral in the community lol

Sorry for late reply, it still works offscreen. When unloading and reloading the world, they will have zero momentum, but start rebuilding it again thanks to the magnets. So you'll have to give some room in the middle area, if you plan on putting some tall trees or other stuff there.

can you post more clear step by step guide or making of video? current instruction do not really help
for example "place a baot and sail out and place rest of the boast" but how am i going to place the boast while im still on the first boat?

yeah… idk if im being dumb but mine keep just forming a straight line, then the front boat disconnects from the last one and just sails away into the sunset… i’ve tried 5 times, and i dont know why its not working.

Ah, good point, what I mean by step one is that you can't do this near land else the boats will crash, and you need to place the boats in a circle, not a line, else the beacon magnet have a good chance of unpairing due to too far of a distance. I'll make a quick edit to the post. Thanks for the feedback!

Tried making a Huge Donut carousel but damn, it's hard even with cheating. (Slowed simulation speed to 1/5th)

Lost ONE connection, being the first and last, to even think of trying you'll probably need a full lobby of wortoxes to make a carousel this huge... And quite a few ruins regenerations to gather the required wires. Also, why in the world do beacons default to ON when built?!

Bonus Edit: Aftermath of failed attempt, a lot of boats survived the failled attempt and very few are leaking, only 4-5 boats wrecked and another 5-6 with leaks, and ONLY 1 glitched on top another. (Both broke)

I found the sequel!

u/SnapChrap on the Don't Starve subreddit found that a Beacon in your inventory can attract a Nautopilot Magnet, which can be VERY useful for Weregoose Woodie.
