Enable Ocuvigil and Boat Combo for Ocean Exploration


Recommended Posts

I tried placing an Ocuvigil on a boat and letting it sail to explore the ocean, but shortly after it left my vision and the game stopped rendering the boat, it stopped moving. The sail automatically heave-ho'd itself, and my attempt to explore the ocean failed. I even tried searching, but all I found was the wiki page confirming that what I was doing should be possible and a guy on Reddit who also tried but failed. The explanation was that, due to an update, the sails will close when unloaded to prevent the boat from continuing, as a safeguard against drowning accidents when logging back in on a server.

  • Placing Ocuvigil on a Boat moving with an open Mast results in a slow but automatic exploration of ocean lines (the same is no longer possible by simply pushing it with an Oar since the Waterlogged Update, in which boats ceased maintaining their momentum nearly indefinitely after being rowed once)

The game can check if a logout spot is nearby and use that to determine whether or not to stop the boat. Right now, this behavior is limiting the sandbox gameplay that this game is so well known for. At the very least, make it an option to turn it off or create a mod that accomplishes the same thing.
