You should try once in your life the water content with Shipwrecked boats (here's how)

Just play on an Island Adventures server, a while back they unified both waters in the code so that both DST ships and Shipwrecked ships work on both types of water.

Find the seaworther in the world, and transport yourself to the normal DST world.

Doing the Pearl Questline, Crab King, Malbatross and Celestial Champ is honestly a blast if you use Shipwrecked boats.

I really recommend it. We had a blast doing it in a pub.

Hi IA

I will say that once IA’s rewrite comes out (which should be once the current beta comes out), you won’t even inherently need Shipwrecked itself to do this. Island Core (A mod used for shared assets between shipwrecked and the eventual hamlet port) has some limited support for some of the shared crafts if you enable it in the world options in a forest world, allowing you to make things like the rowboat/sails with modified recipes without ever touching Shipwrecked at all.

Of course, it goes without saying, but going this route entirely breaks ROT’s ocean balance because you are not meant to have a controlled boat that goes that fast to get around all of the world while evading a majority of the hazards that the ROT boats are meant for, but for worlds for funzies/where you accept that, I think it’s really cool it allows that functionality and I like the ability to do so. There’s even an inverse setting for SW to use ROT’s boats!

Sidenote, can we talk about how good Shipwrecks sailing music is? I’ve been playing IA on my world recently and man I forgot how much I love it’s day/dusk-night sailing themes, I was genuinely humming the tune…

In my mind, the current DST boats should have been ONLY for slow but mobile boat bases.
While having some "normal" Shipwreck styles boats as the actual boats.

Even just having the row boat with palm leaf sail in DST would be more than fine. They can use palmcone trees as the source of the leaf.

What I hate the most about DST boats was that you gotta press right-click 24/7 just to move. Just as much as Klei doing more right-click based actions as of now, which just gonna give players carpal tunnels. And this shtick had been since Maxwell's rework with le funny prison, then the Elding Spear's teleport, then Willow's fire spells, then Winona's remote, etc etc.

yeah ngl I have to stop playing sometimes because right click spamming to go anywhere at sea kills me, legitimately my #1 biggest gripe with the game
(and that's saying a lot, because I gripe about virtually everything!)

and the only other solution was such slow ass unless you wanna spend more materials on sails
