Make Wortox able to teleport on water

[grem6]

Currently, Wortox is unable to teleport on water or even boats on the map (unless they have an ocuvigil). This is most likely the case due to teleporting onto water penalizing the player, with teleporting onto a boat without an ocuvigil having the risk of the boat not being in that place anymore and the teleport also drowning the player. However, now we have personal floater, which allows you to drown, float up and then place a boat right at where you drowned, with only some wetness gain as a penalty. Therefore, I think that Wortox should now be allowed to teleport on water tiles because doing so is now safe with a personal floater, and even without it, teleporting on water might be useful, given the reduced drowning penalty from a recent update.

I cant think of a real good use for this other than heat in summer, but just go into the caves. It actually probally would lead to me teleporting on accident from rowing and opening the map.

Teleporting right onto treasures from message bottles, returning to salt/fish shoal/crab king, trying to wash up at moon quay/lunar, meeting up with other players that are currently on the ocean, returning to a boat that you left far from shore. Keep in mind that drowning with floater means that you can just place a boat right after that.

who needs a diving board when you can teleport straight into the ocean?

maybe there could be some sort of limitation to prevent it from happening by accident, like holding down ctrl/alt or having a personal floater in your inventory as a condition before it'll show you the option in the first place?

this sounds like itd have a lot of potential, i love the idea of this so much

I was thinking about this too. It's just too risky and prone to accidents, especially when map-hopping near the shore—it would bring complaints and whining to the forums, IMO.
Maybe the map cursor could change when you're pointing at a spot where you might drown, just to make it clear that "if there's no boat there when you land, you'll drown"
And for those risky jumps, it should require some kind of “force teleport” instead of just a regular single click on the map.
