In pirate raid. Powder Monkey will use cannons kill other Powder Monkeys or their Prime Mate

Well, you see, monkeys are stupid

I assume that Klei found this problem, but they haven't figured out how to fix it……

It is caused by filling a small boat with too many monkeys.  They don't stay away from the cannon intendedly. If so they still have no enough space to do it.

I found that a monkey can hardly shoot its prime mate when these two are the only sailors on the boat (after other monkeys getting killed from cannon). It is due to random angles. When there is only one monkey alive, RNG makes the cannoneer hardly hit the survivor even it is ahead of the cannon.

And prime mate's health makes it can afford two cannon hits.

So maybe reduce the amount of monkeys can solve the problem to a certain degree.

I guess it can be explained that some pirate monkeys get killed when they rob the sunken chest.
