[Suggestion] Make the Nautopilot Beacon a portable 'deployable'


Recommended Posts

When I say portable deployable, I mean something like Warly's portable crockpots/Walter's portable tent.

Why do I ask for this? Well, with the current implementation where it's an item, it's super easy to accidentally pick it up when holding space and you'll have a lot of items where your boat will become littered with items. Accidentally picking up the nautopilot beacon can be dangerous too if you don't realise you have it and now oopsie the boat with the magnet is going with you and possibly crashing into land or other boats I feel making it a portable 'deployable' that can be disassembled at any time would be really nice. Should still be able to be placed close to any structure super close and not have a physics collision to match the current iteration.

I suppose I would also be happy if holding space didn't pick up the beacon and you had to use your mouse specifically. Either option I will be happy with.

Will it retain it's function to still work in a chest if it turned into a deployable structure instead?

That is a very good point you bring up, I'm sure lots of people like it still being usable in player inventories and containers. I suppose in that case I'll be happy with the latter option of the action key not working for the beacon and needing to use the mouse(Idk how it'd work in controllers case)
