[Suggestion] One last thing to help locate Moon Quay!

[Hornete]

Hi!!! I am absolutely loving the new tinted sea stacks to help locate the Moon Quay island. It's amazing to see interesting generation and using your surroundings and knowledge of world generation to find certain biomes and this is another great addition.

There's one teensy little thing I would love to see changed/added and it's how the Pirate Raids retreat. Currently they just go the direction opposite from their targeted boat. I think it would be really lovely if the pirate raids instead tried to go in the general direction of their island just as one more option to make exploration interesting. I can see myself doing interesting things like letting my boat be robbed from so I can follow them back to their island, or disposing of the powder monkeys so the captain is forced to retreat back, and more!

I'm perfectly happy with the tinted sea stacks but I would love to see an addition like the one I described.

Thanks and cheers for the update!!!

Spoiler

This ones out of scope for this update but the pirate raids are a little bit stupid and don't pathfind either. They'll happily get themselves stuck on ocean objects and ram into them. I'd love to see this be looked into and possibly open the door for more boat-using mobs in the future.

Tecnically they dont bury the stolen items in their island but maybe this can be added if you make them flee the encounter

I still wanna hide in a bush hat or snurtle shell, and be carried by them closer to their island as a stowaway

I already did, but they just carry me to their doom.

for wurt this could be a cool way to snag their stuff since normally they just sink themselves lol

that would honestly be a really cool interaction that allows a new option to deal with pirate raids that is both non lethal (so you don't accrue cursed trinkets) but allows you to not get stolen while being both natural and rewarding to players who use under utalized items to their avantage.

sounds good

Or, players could follow them to where they bury the pirate stash instead, after which they would return to the island.

OR... just make them bury the stolen items on the island.
