This keeps your view open when floating along.Įdit: /u/VinnieTheGooch really captured how I feel about my boat nomad life. I like to put the tall taming pens toward the back of the boat. Test them out before you need to use them in a panic. Im order to maximize piece count, you should finish your boat, then build gardening boxes to limit, then grow the plants.īuild ramps for your doors down below water level to allow you to get in and out of your boat. The plant is allowed to grow even if you're over piece count. The box is 1 piece, the mature plant is also 1 piece. This destroys literally everything.īuilding plants on a boat is good for defense, but plan ahead. I've seen videos of people using boats to clip c4 inside other boats. General Motors is still not disclosing its own plans, if any, for pursuing the. Maybe be careful if you're in a cutthroat PVP server. At far right a destroyer approaches to pick up survivors on a raft. Motorboats are way less prone to this, so go ham on your motorboat.

I would absolutely recommend making the upgrade if you find you like the boat life.īuild elevated platforms for any tames on board to avoid leaving them behind on clipped objectsĭon't leave anything you can't afford to lose on a raft. If you save something please Hit the Follow button, Thanks. Repair the boat immediately when you come to shore.Ī motorboat is a significant upgrade and well worth the cost in many ways: faster speed, can move in reverse, way more HP (25ish hits from whale to sink!), higher piece count. On a raft, you should always have a chest of repair materials next to the oar of the boat. A raft can take 3 hits from a whale in my experience. Be prepared to wait 5-10 minutes for it to pass. When a whale attacks your boat, do not panic. Whichever direction you go, you'll want to stay near the shore. Not because there are fewer whales, but because there's less deep water that you're forced to cross. I play The Island so far so I can only speak for that map, but the south is much safer. Whales are certainly around but they can be dealt with.įirst step is to plan your route.
I prefer to play as a boat nomad, and I think it's actually just really efficient to do so in the early and mid game (since you can bring your base to the resources you need, you can gather and build very well). I'm actually Ishmael-ing it up with success! u/jhah41 mentions the white whales, and it's true to some degree.
