Some boat related changes and additions I would like.

[Creatingabe1125]

Here’s all the things I would like to change about boat things or add new boat things.
 

Changes:

Cannons:

They could have the current area where they can shoot but make it a bit wider like a rectangle box and you can move your cursor to shoot anywhere in that box area. Having a way bigger range and more control would be nicer though I’m not sure if that’s too much as I think the cannon does 200 damage.

You could also slowly rotate it and your character while using it by moving your cursor to the very left or right of the box and continue moving it like that to rotate it left or right.

Deck illuminator:

I just want it to be brighter and have a better light radius.

Sails and masts:

A small speed boost would be nice but also could malbatross not destroy your sail/masts with at the very least just doing minor easily fixable damage as I can’t use my main boat to fight them because of fear that I’ll lose my sails.

Boat magnets:

They sound cool but I don’t like to use them as they bump into other boats apart of the chain, don’t follow my boat at malbatross sail speeds, and can bump into things I didn’t bump into cause of speed differences and distance.

I would like it so the magnet boats don’t bump each other, match the previous boat’s path, and match the speed.

Ideas for new boat things.

Ocean spotlight:

It would cost 2 boards, 1 fire fly, 2 electric doodads, and is prototyped at a think tank. It can manually make a light anywhere on the ocean, has a large range, and can be rotated similar to the cannon idea. During night it will follow a player’s fishing rod while fishing automatically. It can only be refueled with lantern/miner hat fuel.

Sea insurance:

It would cost 8 kelp, 6 nightmare fuel, and is prototyped at a tier 2 magic station. It can be placed on a boat and it can save upto 3 structures when a boat breaks, wrapping the structure in a kelp bundle that floats on the ocean until retrieved.

It will store the ingredients or kit version of the structure as well as contents if it was a storage container. It also keeps fish from spoiling though food will still spoil.

you can use nightmare fuel on a structure to guarantee the protection of that structure as other wise it’s random. Though if you use nightmare fuel after you used it on 3 previous structures, it will forget the last structure you told it to protect.

Mini fire pit:

It could be in the form of something else but I just want a structure that provides heat on a boat and doesn’t take up much space.

Thank you for reading this and tell me if you agree with any of these changes.
