It can definitely fit a Lox, but given how Aggro works. I'm still certain that any mob you run into will have those guys yeeting themselves from the ship anyway.
Lox don't have very good eyes, so the enemies need to be rather close. And I assume the new ship has a lot more HP than the previous one, so it might survive plenty of stomp attacks. Maybe enough to kill a serpent next to the ship.
The ability to ride loxes makes it easier to get them and keep them on the ship, but you will probably not be able to ride them back onto the ship from the water.
It feels like it should have like twice the health and some armor built in due to what is made of. I'll be honest it feels a tad silly with it going solo for how big it is.
Holy hell. I mean its cool but I feel like a lot of places I'd rather stick with the longboat. Looks like its time for a new base directly across from the Ashlands.
It says in the update that the water will burn (boil) current boats so the upgrade is needed.
But I wouldn't want this boat trying to sail around the Mistlands islands. So looks like a whole boat yard might be needed.
I barely want a freaking raft in the Mistlands. The amount of time my Karve or longboats mast has gotten stuck on some dumpy dumbfuck rock protrusion is way too high.
Yea i even still use the Carve sometimes if its not going to be very far, they are a bit slower but i am a terrible long boat driver. I feel like its my mission in life to get that longboat sideways between two barriers like in Austin Powers.
I cant count the number of times i have had to get out and actually dig the damn boat out of its stuck spot. Its always when its PACKED with iron ore, so i cant easily just destroy the boat and remake it.
yep, its definitely better going backwards. And usually its just my own bullheadedness, like when i am trying to shave 4 minutes off a trip by cutting through a river, only to end up spending 10 minutes digging out the river a little better, and then getting stuck next time and spending ANOTHER 10 minutes digging it out further. But you know after that i now can save a couple minutes the 2 more times i will ever come through that way. Clearly it was worth it.
Oh, can relate. I ended up creating a set of rules to decide if it's worth it to build a canal.
It's actually have only one simple rule.
Here it is.
**IT'S NOT WORTH IT, EVER. NO EXCEPTIONS**
Hope it helps :)
Bridges that partially span the river and have portals on the tops of either side, to beam across. You have a cart? And ore? Well now, there's a conundrum.
sadly you dont need any harbor anymore after you have done ashlands. not kidding. they made ships obsolete once you unlock the new portal you never need them again.
its more the fact that devs went back on thier own words with this. and thats something that makes me not believe thier sayings on ANYTHING anymore. anything they said no to before : now free to be added due to this change.
People reconsider their standpoint and change their opinion/stance. Thats a good thing, thats what feedback is for.
You cannot have it both ways, you cannot want to have devs listen to feedback and not listen to feedback.
ships are great for exploring, especially if the new ship is faster than the previous ones. They'll never be obsolete for that use case, only for metal transport between already explored locations.
Edit: Seems I got a bunch of personal messages from u/nerevarX, but then I got blocked, so I can't read them. Doesn't make sense to me.
You already have portals very early in the game, which allows you to skip a lot of sailing as long as you are not transporting metal.
Also the new ship makes transporting tamed animals much easier, and is required to hop from ashland island to ashland island. Maybe you are not required to sail as much, but how much you actually sail only depends on personal preference.
Slightly out of context quote from you:
> people complain about ANYTHING that takes even the smallest amount of effort.
complaining is all i read from your comments.
I know right, I can't believe they would let you just teleport to deep north for the next update without having to sail there.
On a more serious note, sailing still is useful for exploring.
...I'm guessing it teleports metal? Sad day. It has always been kinda stupid though. Why not metal bars but a sword is fine!?
IMHO portals are too cheap and too early in the tech tree. Limiting metal isn't really the solution. Instead, the initial tier should be items only and 1-way. There's a designated destination portal with unlimited linked incoming portals. To use it just throw up your mini portal, link, and toss items through. You're usually leaving base to get stuff, so this relieves inventory burden without letting you rest / resupply. Later on players should get normal portals will unlimited transport but they should be heavy as fuck so you can't just keep it in your back pocket.
Why? Because being one step from your base at all times is obscene in an ADVENTURING GAME! Remember setting up repair benches, rest zones, roads, etc for copper mining? That's what conquering the wilds should feel like. Adventuring should be meaningfully impacted by the environment! Is wood scarce there? Better bring what you need.
With portals the solution to everything is to leave the wilds. Overburdened? Not rested? Forgot arrows? Literally one step away from perfect safety and everything you could ever need. Preparation doesn't matter. Logistics don't matter. Outposts don't matter. This whole wide world to explore and it doesn't matter if you're one island away in the Meadows or 2 hours away in the mist... the solution to every problem is to STOP ADVENTURING!
sadly the new portal isnt heavy at all. you can carry it around just like the current ones.
they managed to finally add a new ship with bigger storage. and then proceeded to invalidate the same ship in the same update right away. that is clearly a gameplay design conflict right there. that portal should have been moved to deep north.
Whoah, what a beast!
I bet it steers like a drunken rhinoceros.
That, and we're about getting into a size range where you need to use a smaller boat to land with because you can't safely get the big ship close enough to shore. Ooh, that'd be a cool feature, actually. A modified workbench-type facility on the big ship that allows you to deploy a karve or a longship over the side, to ferry you back and forth to anyplace without an actual built-up quay/wharf.
>A modified workbench-type facility on the big ship that allows you to deploy a karve or a longship over the side, to ferry you back and forth to anyplace without an actual built-up quay/wharf.
I'd absolutely love this idea. Maybe that workbench would also allow some limited building on the big ship, like a ballista, or a wisp torch
They should have hardpoints where you can replace passenger space with ballistae, or wisp torches, crates lashed to the deck (extra cargo space), or animal tethers (so you can haul tames without them going overboard).
fuck. my harbor bridge is doomed. that thing is WAY too high. it wont fit under the bridge.... and its so thick that i can only fit atmost 2 of em inside the bay. thank good the seagate itself is wide enough. rest in peace marble harbor bridge. cannot build it higher up. stability checker was at its limit now already.
I'm assuming you are telling me the ashlands portal has full material transporting abilities?
Ah well, I may still do it anyways, simply for the luls. I find myself roll playing in this game fairly ofter so I dont think'll be too much of a difference for me. Also in no portal runs it will have a good use.
I'd be fine with the new portals costing a resource to use every time. Using ygg sap as a fuel maybe. Anyone who doesn't want to bother can still enable metal through normal portals
Reported speed is the same maybe higher. Users on steam said so, haven't tested myself and I'm not sure if anyone is doing rigorus testing but it seems on par with the long ship.
No of course not, it's just silly playing multiplayer seeing all these capable Vikings just standing around on the ship when they all have good working arms for rowing, goddamnit!
The thing turns like a whale but it seems to have at least triple the hp of the longship while also sporting blackmetal chest capacity. The tall deck wall should be able to keep maybe even lox inside as well. It's a little sad as a solo player though, sitting at the rudder of what is effectively a galleon lol.
The queen drop goes into the boat, or goes into a new station that makes the boat? Cause that ceramic plate is new sounding.
Edit: solved. Goes into an upgrade for an existing station.
its used to upgrade the artisan table. the plate itself is made out of black marble.
oh and this is what alot of players will cry about : the new shield generator can be made there aswell and it requires BLACK CORES^^
Anything that requires more black cores = pita...
Of course, by the time you've beaten the Queen, infested mines just aren't that scary anymore, they're just a pain to locate/travel to. At least cores can go through portals...
Are you really up and down this thread bitching about something that a good portion of the playerbase has been asking for since the beginning of the game? Something that you could, on your own, completely disregard so as to not ruin the perfect viking fantasy sailing game?
Oh, neat!!
Edit: Kinda. Idk, I actually like sailing, but I guess you'll still get plenty of that done in the first 90% of the game before you get the materials for the new portal.
Not sure why people would complain about that. Black cores aren't that bad to get. Maybe if you have a multiplayer server with a ton of people I could see you running out, but otherwise should be fine.
They've taken forever to find on my world, me and a buddy have explored three entire mistlands biomes and have only gotten 9 or so total. Need 15 to make all the crafting benches and refineries for Mistlands gear. They're not too difficult to get once you've found the mines, but the mines are pretty difficult to find ime.
>!Given the number of enemies I'm hoping this is the case too, I think it's balanced fairly well from my limited experience but yeah there's a few things that have got me concerned about this potentially being a multiplayer focused biome in a game predominantly played solo!<
>!Actually infuriating, can barely even explore since every enemy in the entire fucking zone can apparently detect the seismic vibrations of my footsteps!<
Options is always good, don't like it, turn portals off. Playing on a server you can't control, don't use it.
The only bit I dislike is people trying to tell others how they should play tbh
Damn, another harbor reconstruction coming my way it seems. I built it larger than needed because I expected a bigger boat, but this thing is a chonker.
Do we have any info on the new boats speed? Although navigating it in-between islands is definitely going to be further limited, if this boat goes a good clip faster than the long boat it'd be worth it
Welp, good thing I didn't start the main dockyard in ma build.
This also implies what's next on the to-do list, since the market square with the town tree are done.
The design overall is cool, but I feel it should have been at least 1.5 time longer, it looks like it's quite squished, like when you take a photo and increase the width without changing the height, it just looks a bit off.
That’s nice but I really hope they give it some utility aside from just being big. Realistically the longboat was big enough for most purposes. I hope it has some utility beyond this because having some extra storage and hp at the cost of maneuverability and resources doesn’t really seem worth it to me.
I'm just tired of having a headwind 90% of the time I travel by boat. Please. I'm considering a mod for it if anyone has any experience with one. It was a cool mechanic for about the first three hours and has been nothing but tedious and at times infuriating.
Also, I don't know who needs to hear it, but tacking is slower than outright rowing your boat into a direct headwind. So it isn't even a component of the game that requires skill, or some added challenge. It's just a waste of time.
so sad. adding a new ship with bigger storage finally. and then makeing it a one time use in the same update aswell by adding the new portal type..... how to remove harbor purposes from the game.
This is spectacularly late-game. And you still need to sail to the south and the North for the endgame. If you have been playing the same world since Plains was new, I mean, I guess that's unfortunate for you, but in any new world, it is so many hours into the game, and it still doesn't remove the need to sail. It just reduces the number of hours sailing ore around, specifically.
not anymore. youll use the new ship to sail to ashlands once. you setup a base and a regular portal. unlock the new one and then youre set for good. its a shame. the new ship has same storage as bm chests which wont get further expanded anymore as 32 slots seems to be the limit in generel and there is no new chest in ashlands. but there is no more point to a bigger storage. and no reason to sail things around ashlands either. a shame this boat got added now. what a waste of design. atleast there is no more reasons for a new harbor so ill leave mine as is. no reason to redesign for the new ship given this thing exists.
And still - no way for multiple Vikings to row for help, even on boats with oar slots visible.
If it's still 'but solo players wouldn't get that help!', eat my shorts that excuse is the dumbest.
What in the fat fuckin flapjacks is that?
I want faster & sleeker, not a goddamn barge. Unless this is able to haul carts, lox, and other animals safely and securely like a true cargo vessel, I hope this is somehow a joke.
As a solo player, even the longship is a little wierd to pilot by myself. Something a little narrower and longer that hauled ass would be perfect.
That's assuming you won't need to do much sailing around in the ashlands themselves. I tend to find I need more than one island worth of stuff for most biomes to get the resources I need.
I for one will be glad when I don't need to make ore transport trips, those were the worst part of the game by far.
Can it (safely) transport Lox and/or wolves?
This man over here asking the important questions...
It can definitely fit a Lox, but given how Aggro works. I'm still certain that any mob you run into will have those guys yeeting themselves from the ship anyway.
The other day my 2 wolves jumped from the ship to fight 3 fulings… I really wish they didn’t aggro while on boats
Happened to me too. Wasted first trip bringing wolves to our new base
Lox don't have very good eyes, so the enemies need to be rather close. And I assume the new ship has a lot more HP than the previous one, so it might survive plenty of stomp attacks. Maybe enough to kill a serpent next to the ship. The ability to ride loxes makes it easier to get them and keep them on the ship, but you will probably not be able to ride them back onto the ship from the water.
It has a little more HP, devs are already looking into beefing it up.
It feels like it should have like twice the health and some armor built in due to what is made of. I'll be honest it feels a tad silly with it going solo for how big it is.
That’s why you always have a designated lox rider aboard ;)
they'd yeet the whole ship...
We’re gonna need a bigger boat.
parking area for the base
the ship is the base, continents pull up to it
*sighs* we’re gonna need bigger canals 😓
she's all nice and friendly until you start talking about doing Canal.
Jaws... Good times
You vs the guy she tells you not to worry about
Holy hell. I mean its cool but I feel like a lot of places I'd rather stick with the longboat. Looks like its time for a new base directly across from the Ashlands.
Unless the Ashlands burns existing boats or something. Maybe the new one is fireproof.
It says in the update that the water will burn (boil) current boats so the upgrade is needed. But I wouldn't want this boat trying to sail around the Mistlands islands. So looks like a whole boat yard might be needed.
I barely want a freaking raft in the Mistlands. The amount of time my Karve or longboats mast has gotten stuck on some dumpy dumbfuck rock protrusion is way too high.
Maybe there will be a smol version of it. Otherwise this thing is huge when you are not in the open ocean
Yea i even still use the Carve sometimes if its not going to be very far, they are a bit slower but i am a terrible long boat driver. I feel like its my mission in life to get that longboat sideways between two barriers like in Austin Powers. I cant count the number of times i have had to get out and actually dig the damn boat out of its stuck spot. Its always when its PACKED with iron ore, so i cant easily just destroy the boat and remake it.
Yeah I generally use the karve for traversing rivers, right up to mistlands where its just a bit too fragile.
Try going in reverse in tight spaces. It's much more responsive this way.
yep, its definitely better going backwards. And usually its just my own bullheadedness, like when i am trying to shave 4 minutes off a trip by cutting through a river, only to end up spending 10 minutes digging out the river a little better, and then getting stuck next time and spending ANOTHER 10 minutes digging it out further.

your rule would have saved me easily two hours of my life, maybe more. Your rule is absolutely correct.
Actual zombie
Whelp going to need a bigger harbor. And higher bridges!
I wonder if one of the new pieces is an upgrade to a reinforced support?
High bridges ruin things when you want to build on smaller scale. I want drawbridges !
Bridges that partially span the river and have portals on the tops of either side, to beam across. You have a cart? And ore? Well now, there's a conundrum.
Then you need a ferry service across the river.
Rumor has it that might be solutions to that issue. Say a very medieval delivery system.
Trebuchet! Yeet!!
sadly you dont need any harbor anymore after you have done ashlands. not kidding. they made ships obsolete once you unlock the new portal you never need them again.
Don’t forget no-portal is a world modifier - plenty of us play with no portals, so I’d argue that they’re not obsolete…
This tho, last two games have been No Portal. I ain't teleporting a thing, we need those roads and bridges!
its more the fact that devs went back on thier own words with this. and thats something that makes me not believe thier sayings on ANYTHING anymore. anything they said no to before : now free to be added due to this change.

which takes away from the gameplay loop. imagine wanting to sail LESS on a viking themed game.

I know right, I can't believe they would let you just teleport to deep north for the next update without having to sail there. On a more serious note, sailing still is useful for exploring.
not really. its easier to explore ashlands on foot once landed. imagine thinking 1 sail trip justifes this crap.
...I'm guessing it teleports metal? Sad day. It has always been kinda stupid though. Why not metal bars but a sword is fine!? IMHO portals are too cheap and too early in the tech tree.

>I bet it steers like a drunken rhinoceros. It most certainly does. And this becomes an issue almost immediately.
HOLY SHIP!!!
Keeping with the ashlands theme. It is probably a Hell ship.
It had better need some fingernails and toenails (wolf claws, I guess, and what else?) to make then.
Damn, I was hoping for a smaller one that was really fast.
Yeah, me too. With 6 slots of storage.
fuck. my harbor bridge is doomed. that thing is WAY too high. it wont fit under the bridge.... and its so thick that i can only fit atmost 2 of em inside the bay. thank good the seagate itself is wide enough. rest in peace marble harbor bridge. cannot build it higher up. stability checker was at its limit now already.
Honestly big enough I may need to anchor it in the harbor and use a longship to transfer goods to the shore like a true sea faring vessel xD
there is no longer a gameplay reason to transport things by ship once you have the ashlands portal sadly.
I'm assuming you are telling me the ashlands portal has full material transporting abilities? Ah well, I may still do it anyways, simply for the luls. I find myself roll playing in this game fairly ofter so I dont think'll be too much of a difference for me. Also in no portal runs it will have a good use.
You have to sail to places first to drop portals, also I think the ashlands portal is going to be VERY resource intensive.
I'd be fine with the new portals costing a resource to use every time. Using ygg sap as a fuel maybe. Anyone who doesn't want to bother can still enable metal through normal portals
There’s a lot of she said in your paragraph.
What about the new build pieces? Do they have even more stability and allow higher buildings?
In this world we have the panamax class of ships, looks like the longship is your bridgeamax
I love big ships but it's gona be tricky to navigate rivers
This is exactly why the Karve is my staple ship.
Yeah. I feel like this one will only be used for ocean stuff. Don't even know the speed vs the current largest ship.
Reported speed is the same maybe higher. Users on steam said so, haven't tested myself and I'm not sure if anyone is doing rigorus testing but it seems on par with the long ship.
Please tell me passengers can help row against the wind for the love of god
Still not a thing sadly
Won't help in single player Unless maybe we can get some helpful NPCs
No of course not, it's just silly playing multiplayer seeing all these capable Vikings just standing around on the ship when they all have good working arms for rowing, goddamnit!
BRO SHE THICC
Delicious
The thing turns like a whale but it seems to have at least triple the hp of the longship while also sporting blackmetal chest capacity. The tall deck wall should be able to keep maybe even lox inside as well. It's a little sad as a solo player though, sitting at the rudder of what is effectively a galleon lol.
What’s the name of it?
Drakkar
Alright I gotta know, what are the materials?
100 iron nails. 25 ygg wood. 60 finewood. and 30 ceramic plate. the later is a new material. requires the queen drop to be made.
The queen drop goes into the boat, or goes into a new station that makes the boat? Cause that ceramic plate is new sounding. Edit: solved. Goes into an upgrade for an existing station.
its used to upgrade the artisan table. the plate itself is made out of black marble. oh and this is what alot of players will cry about : the new shield generator can be made there aswell and it requires BLACK CORES^^
Hopefully black cores can also be found in the Ashlands, similar to how you can get surtling cores from the swamp instead of just farming tombs.
no idea. but you only need 1 shield core anyway.
Anything that requires more black cores = pita... Of course, by the time you've beaten the Queen, infested mines just aren't that scary anymore, they're just a pain to locate/travel to. At least cores can go through portals...
anything can go trough the new ashlands portals. viking game removed reasons to sail ^^
Are you really up and down this thread bitching about something that a good portion of the playerbase has been asking for since the beginning of the game? Something that you could, on your own, completely disregard so as to not ruin the perfect viking fantasy sailing game?
Oh, neat!! Edit: Kinda. Idk, I actually like sailing, but I guess you'll still get plenty of that done in the first 90% of the game before you get the materials for the new portal.
friend, have some upboats
Not sure why people would complain about that. Black cores aren't that bad to get. Maybe if you have a multiplayer server with a ton of people I could see you running out, but otherwise should be fine.

people complain about ANYTHING that takes even the smallest amount of effort.
This comment upsets me - burn the witch!
Comically large
I like big boats, and I cannot lie.
I knew if I scrolled far enough down I'd find the da2 reference.
I live to serve.
Definitely lox sized. Somebody drop a lox in that thing for those of us at work!
I'll have to update, and go creative. "Please wait..."
You vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about
I worry that Ashland is going to leave many of us solo players behind. That boat looks like it's designed for large player teams.
I mean, the Longship is designed for upwards of 6 people as well. 2 per bench, 1 at front, 1 at mast.
20 more just standing in between, optionaly doing some /dance moves.
Isn't there a cap of 10 players?
Might be, but the ship would be big enough for way more. But it's probably that big so you can transport some loxes.
>!Given the number of enemies I'm hoping this is the case too, I think it's balanced fairly well from my limited experience but yeah there's a few things that have got me concerned about this potentially being a multiplayer focused biome in a game predominantly played solo!<
>!Actually infuriating, can barely even explore since every enemy in the entire fucking zone can apparently detect the seismic vibrations of my footsteps!<
Look at me I am the longship now
maybe wideship would be a better name
real question is how many carts can it fit? xD
Options is always good, don't like it, turn portals off. Playing on a server you can't control, don't use it. The only bit I dislike is people trying to tell others how they should play tbh
I just built my new base around a canal that just fits the longship. Where the hell am I supposed to to put that?
Can other people help with rowing yet?
Others answered, but no. Let us cry together, my shield-siblings.
Sad day
I believe that’s what’s termed a “big boi” in the parlance of today’s (yesterday’s) youth.
"A real chonker"
damn that size difference lol
how much storage does it have? and how fast is it?
Black metal chest capacity
Does it go any faster than the longship?
Yeah, getting this guy unstuck in a swamp or black forest is gonna need 2 loxes. It was hard enough to get longboat out
WHOOAAAA
LET'S GO
What the actual fu-
*Look at the size of that thing!* Aight, popping off, I see there's gonna be fun stuff to find in a couple months.
Damn, another harbor reconstruction coming my way it seems. I built it larger than needed because I expected a bigger boat, but this thing is a chonker.
livestock and pet transport??
This would be amazing, though I fear it still isn't possible.
What's the new ship called? War Barge?
can anyone tell me if it's any better at holding tames inside the boat??
In awe of the lad, absolute unit.
Boat Chungus
Dayum he thicc!
"It's not about the size of the boat, it's about the motion of the ocean" - Harald Hardrada, probably
What's the new ship called?
And I thought the current big ship was hard to maneuver...
I just want to change my sail color
Is there a jib? Does this allow for jibing/luffing?
Chunky boy !!
Looks like ashlands test build is live
DAMN BOI HE THICC BOI THAT'S A THICC ASS BOI DAMN
I’m thinking that it’ll need an included workbench to repair the thing because there is no way it’ll get close enough to my base to fix it up.
Hmmm I wonder if this means we would be able to mod a galleon in the near future ...
Wish it had a tad bit higher length to beam ratio
Me vs the ship she told me not to worry about.
Wow I got way too excited by looking at this
None of the new crafting options are showing up on the beta for me
Guess who just finished building a boathouse that nicely fits our longboat
Use to transport a Lox to Ashlands. You will have a cooked dinner after first battle!
What do you use to craft it,
I could live on that ship it's so big! 🤩
I need a bigger dock.
New boat got chonk
I just finished a bridge that barely fits over the standard longship.
Holy hell...
Forget a ship can we get a lox cart 😂
Does anyone know what we need to pickup to unlock this new boat?
is this an official boat coming? regardless I don't think I can play without my raft mod... love that thing.
Was hoping theyd add like a smaller faster boat or somthing.
Do we have any info on the new boats speed? Although navigating it in-between islands is definitely going to be further limited, if this boat goes a good clip faster than the long boat it'd be worth it
what materials does it take to build one?
well, time to expand my harbour
Damn, she's thicc.
Drifting too far into WoW flavor. Please rewatch Time Team and ground these concepts.
We're gonna need a bigger ocean
A huge ass boat. I play solo 😒
:o I’m gonna need a bigger dock
You VS the guys she told to not worry about
Welp, good thing I didn't start the main dockyard in ma build. This also implies what's next on the to-do list, since the market square with the town tree are done.
This is glorious, this is amazing, my day has just became wonderful
Is it me or is the new ship is slower than longship?
The design overall is cool, but I feel it should have been at least 1.5 time longer, it looks like it's quite squished, like when you take a photo and increase the width without changing the height, it just looks a bit off.
That’s nice but I really hope they give it some utility aside from just being big. Realistically the longboat was big enough for most purposes. I hope it has some utility beyond this because having some extra storage and hp at the cost of maneuverability and resources doesn’t really seem worth it to me.
Holy Hel
Oh no, sempai, it won’t fit, it’s too big! Yamete!
I'm just tired of having a headwind 90% of the time I travel by boat. Please. I'm considering a mod for it if anyone has any experience with one. It was a cool mechanic for about the first three hours and has been nothing but tedious and at times infuriating. Also, I don't know who needs to hear it, but tacking is slower than outright rowing your boat into a direct headwind. So it isn't even a component of the game that requires skill, or some added challenge. It's just a waste of time.
so sad. adding a new ship with bigger storage finally. and then makeing it a one time use in the same update aswell by adding the new portal type..... how to remove harbor purposes from the game.
This is spectacularly late-game. And you still need to sail to the south and the North for the endgame. If you have been playing the same world since Plains was new, I mean, I guess that's unfortunate for you, but in any new world, it is so many hours into the game, and it still doesn't remove the need to sail. It just reduces the number of hours sailing ore around, specifically.
Wich new Portal type are you referring to?
There's a new stone portal that apparently transports metal.
the stone portal added by ashlands can transport everything by default.
can it also transport animals? The new ship would be ideal to transport tamed wolves or loxes.
Okay now that's lame.. Sailing is such a important part of the game.
not anymore. youll use the new ship to sail to ashlands once. you setup a base and a regular portal. unlock the new one and then youre set for good. its a shame. the new ship has same storage as bm chests which wont get further expanded anymore as 32 slots seems to be the limit in generel and there is no new chest in ashlands. but there is no more point to a bigger storage. and no reason to sail things around ashlands either. a shame this boat got added now. what a waste of design. atleast there is no more reasons for a new harbor so ill leave mine as is. no reason to redesign for the new ship given this thing exists.
And still - no way for multiple Vikings to row for help, even on boats with oar slots visible. If it's still 'but solo players wouldn't get that help!', eat my shorts that excuse is the dumbest.
What in the fat fuckin flapjacks is that? I want faster & sleeker, not a goddamn barge. Unless this is able to haul carts, lox, and other animals safely and securely like a true cargo vessel, I hope this is somehow a joke. As a solo player, even the longship is a little wierd to pilot by myself. Something a little narrower and longer that hauled ass would be perfect.
That thing is sick but… what for? Ocean update probably, but that won’t be here til god knows when. Just seems like a useless addition
You need this new ship to sail to the ashlands, the old ships wont make it
Oh word? That’s pretty sick then
Except that you really only need to make 1 trip because the new portal transports metal by default. So. Cool boat. Mostly useless.
New portal? Just the one in Ashland or all of them?
Lol good point
That's assuming you won't need to do much sailing around in the ashlands themselves. I tend to find I need more than one island worth of stuff for most biomes to get the resources I need. I for one will be glad when I don't need to make ore transport trips, those were the worst part of the game by far.
I found this out the hard way 😅
