Packim Baggims needs a serious speed upgrade

I really like the new storage companion, but he suffers from the same issue Chester did, extremely slow and often times loses his following because you put too much distance between you the two of you. This is especially evident in SW because boats with a cloth sail move faster than the player ever did with a walking cane on the road. It's impossible for him to keep up and I find myself constantly stopping and waiting for him to catch up before I can move on to the next island.

Even with a simple bamboo sail I've lost Packim's following multiple times today, it's quite frustrating. As it stands I barely got to the island I decided on as base and of course during that last mad dash to make it before my boat failed, Packim stopped following and is stuck in the middle of the ocean.  He's also carrying all my boards so making my next boat is going to be more work than it should have been.

He either needs a speed boost or an automatic teleport to the player when he starts lagging behind.  The idea above of having him ride on your boat would be pretty cute.

I have exactly the same issue. It's a huge pain. Check out this picture (blue is me, red is Packim's)

A simple fix, have him teleport to just off-screen from you when x distance away. Pretty common companion mechanic.

 

Not sure how to keep him close though, I guess a speed buff like you said XD

I thought they implemented that with chester? I remember reading it somewhere. I'm not sure if they did that with packims though. However, i do think they need some sort of speed buff.

Yup that's what I think too. As far as I know there isn't a command to teleport him to you manually, otherwise I'd just do that.
