Dear klei entertainment please do more things with your ocean

[Cats_On_Fire]

So currently I feel like we just need either bigger or smaller boats, being limited toto the circle that either A. Feels cumbersome so people want it to be smaller or B doesn't have enough space.

So I am asking you guys to please foucs on the ocean for a good 2 updates next year.

Thank you cats on fire

first of all, they've done a fairly good job overall now, this argument doesn't hold as much water as it did some years ago.

secondly, if something is still wrong with the sea it's the lack of setpieces. nothing about boat size.

It's still needs a lot of fleshing out to be fair but boats are substantially better

Both things are still needed.
Bigger boat sizes mostly because our current boats are always clumped if you want to give them a place to cook, a storage, cannons, fire protection, cold protection, etc. It’s always either a specific season prepared boat, a completely blank disposable boat, or an incredibly clumped boat. Why not have an expensive mini moving base option, that does have some space to move and fight as well?
Also more sea fauna, and more places to visit/live at are still due. Even if they add a few smaller islands with existing setpieces, it would be okay, like grass geckos, killer bees, gold, etc.

An archipelago map generation mode would also be neat.

fair enough but I feel like people are still trying to diminish all they've done over the years to fix the sea, which can't be ignored.

Just like how klei diminish all they've done in shipwrecked and give us an empty soulless ocean.

I mean.. the way Klei designed it for DST it sort of actually CAN be ignored and I’ve discussed that point throughly in the past by explaining that the oceans “contents” or lack-thereof is secluded to its own little area in the game.

UNLIKE the Shipwrecked DLC which had things scattered about all over the ocean.

As just one example: You’ll only EVER find Sea Otters in one area near the shore of a specific biome.. When they could’ve been spread about across the entire ocean.

And this is a problem with most of DSTs ocean contents.

Sure those are poorly put together illustrations, but it gets the point across clear enough I think.

That’s literally how they work, though? You find otters all across the ocean’s costal area across the world. You might not find them directly next to the land of every biome, but they will always be within the coastal area of just about every biome, even the lunar island.

[Echsrick]

just some more isle like places i guess

In the worlds I’ve played in I’ve only seen the otters spawn near the edge of the Catcoon/Birchtree biome.

Maybe it’s an Xbox limitation? Or maybe it’s how Retro-fitting new content into older worlds always sucks.. I don’t know..

I’ll create a brand new world later and see if their spawns change any.

I don’t think it’s a retrofitting problem. I have a pretty old world and they’ve spawned pretty evenly across it. I even had one next to Pearl’s Island.

You just haven't explored the shore enough.

As a massive collision hater I can only ask so much for getting bigger boats. I'd sacrifice speed, hull health, whatever you want you can have it. I don't ask to release the new ultimate boat that is better in everything. But please. Right now it's either I force myself to put big gaps between everything to move "freely" but then I have minimal visibility of what's on the boat. Or I put things more close together to let clear areas but mobility and accessibility to boat sides is compromised.

[HellHeater]

Dude it's time to pray that klei headquarters don't get bombed by wendy mains. They have a bit too much on their plate right now. 

That aside I completely agree.

I love the ocean content. But why is the ocean fill with nothing but rocks

My boat trips are doing their job making less rocks in the ocean

Maxwell's the best sailing character just because of how easily he removes rocks from the ocean with his shadow goons.

[Steorra]

Then they should fix those sea creatures and bosses first I guess.

Sea Weed!! Not bullkelp. We've got a few ways of renewing bullkelp now!

Sea Weeds being the giant water plants that gun you down. Those are my babies...
