SonicDen220 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Nautopilot seems like such a cool structure with a huge amount of potential, but I really can't think of any use for them. I've seen the boat carousel. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornete Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I really wanna make a boat train with them but they're.... not all great for it. They have a constant speed and so I wish they slowed down when reaching the boat with the receiver beacon on it. I get constant leaks trying to do it, we haven't seen any magnet improvements so far which worries me just a tiny bit, I'm really hoping we'll get some improvements.

Had the same problem when testing them. Really hope they get some improvements there. Otherwise I'm afraid they are another cool idea that just has no use in the game after people tested it once. This update brings a ton of new features and items and I think it is really important to balance them correctly, so all of them can have a use later in the game. Otherwise it would be lost potential. And I think canons, bumpers and magnets are not quiet there right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatt Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Could be used as parking valet, to auto dock to a specific location. Still kinda niche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collision is a problem now because people try to make pilot-less boats have some sort of "switch off" or "switch to repelling" function, which is not possible. If you are actually on the boat and your boat is the only boat, there are several ways to prevent bumping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chincer Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 right now the magnet isnt strong enough to just keep two boats together as to just make a massive moving boat and i imagine thats expected it will open the discussion for a boat bond of some kind that attach a boat to another and makes them move together at the cost of speed the other possible option is just to make a more expensive boat recipe that be a twice as big boat or even three times as big for boat bases that can be floated around another option is making magnets so slow that they cant cause collision damage but that might ruin the boat carousel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a magnetic bumper just like the seaweed and shell one, that could be placed at the back of the boat. The Magna-Repeller! Lol It could have a weak repeal effect when they come into close proximity to the Nautopilot of the other boat. Nice work cohort in crime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlrust Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I like to put equipment on another boat that I can't fit on my main boat such as a Pinchin' Winch or a variety of Crock Pots and Drying Racks. It's cool because you can have a boat for sailing/fighting, another boat for crafting/storage, and another for cooking/sleeping if you wanted to. Kinda like the Seatruck from Subnautica: Below Zero. You can essentially get a bigger boat when you link them together. I just wish there were more open space in the ocean so I don't have to deal with so many sea stacks.

ArubaroBeefalo Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 maybe to carry big nuts, treasures or peal's island trash without limiting your boat space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad I thought you were talking about ppls issues with boat collision when creating boat chains. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
