Ocean content: This one QoL change could significantly improve the experience!

The boat is lovely niceeee but they might be an acquired taste. Part of the fun lies in relocating without having to walk. As Willow fuel efficiency is great and you get to stay warm and sane near a lit Firepit while moving. Wonderful for exploring and fishing during winter without having to worry about things like freezing or sanity management.

That being said, boats feel a bit unintentionally wonky at times, but generally speaking they fill their role.

I always liked essentially having my own mobile personalised base. I wish the magnets were less jank though.

Yeah. They work alright at lower speed and the idea is sweet but once you have a Winged Sail rigged rig they simply can't keep up.

Yeah, and when you go to fast they crash into your boat when you stop. Too much hassel to be worth for more than a quick gimmick.

They definitely should add some more islands or something to explore. I'd say that about 75% of the ocean is just empty space filled with sea stacks.

I honestly think klei’s standards for ocean content are too high; think about the waterlogged and monkey pirate updates, or pearl’s quests, or the lunar island. All of these are pretty content-dense. Yeah you could argue about the actual quality of some of these but you can’t deny the amount of content they have. I think what the ocean needs most is not more content-dense islands but rather a handful of much smaller islands and set pieces to fill in the gaps and give the ocean stuff to explore between the major locations

Yeah I’ve said this in the past. One of the major problems with kleis ocean content is that they add like a decent amount but they either make it super rare to ever find, not worth interacting at with, or like you said very very content dense concentrated into a single point.
