Any chance of this being updated to the new Boats mod? https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3017479589

does this work in multiplayer

Hehehe, boat

@Meltup

Thanks Mel! Your mod was what made me play to find out about vehicles in Rimworld and the (then just starting) framework all these years ago.

@Robot_Prince
No problem with that! Go ahead

Hey Meltup, do you mind if I recreate this for the new Vehicle framework? Game needs some early game tribal neolithic boats!

@The Waffle Host
Nope, this is a very old mod. And the framework for boats has changed significantly from what I know. If I ever get my hands to update this mod then it will be a separate upload.

Is this compatible with Boats (continued)?

Might work with the vehicles mod that has replaced the boats mod, but not really sure.

does this work with 1.3

It's in their discord, had to search for it.. I think it I just search fo "Vehicles" and found in in there.

@tilarium where is that link that you mentioned? I am looking everywhere and can't find it. I want my pirates back....

Looks like it's an open beta if you follow the link that Smash Phil posted. Crazy happy right now!

Interesting. But as I usually limit my games to medieval, the other stuff doesn't interest me... yet. Could be enough to get me to go with a few other game ideas. Still wish we had a working version of the boats mod for 1.3 though. Just loaded up the game in a while and got a really awesome map that would have been wonderful with boats. Lots of islands.

@tilarium

There is a replacement for the Boats! mod in development currently, which will have boats, as well as tanks and other vehicles. I believe it's still in closed beta, so I'm not sure how much I should say, but the inDev name is Vehicles.

….so much fun. Stupid phone cut off the rest and I just noticed it. LOL

Which unfortunately will be never from the sounds of it. The first line in the description for Boats is that it’s no longer maintained. Bummer two because that and this were so mu h

@Saewynn
as soon as Boats mod will get updated

update?

bro i saw some bad toughts about the mod now im going to download and try but if breaks my ships (I need ships becouse i always land on small islands on rim)

Just so you don't miss name them in the new mod the canoes in this mod are actually different types of kayak. Love the mod though. Keep up the good work.

@troopersmith1
It will be a new upload because Vehicles are going to be a new upload, so mod dependancy will have to be set differently. At least, that is the plan for now.

@Meltup

Will it be released as an update to this workshop entry, or a new upload? I'd definitely be interested in it, so I'd like to know when it releases.

EDIT: Just to be clear, I'm not asking for an ETA, just curious where would be the best place to keep an eye out for updates.

@I blame Pudge
It shall be released separately once the new vehicle mod is relatively stable. There are still lots of features Phil is still working on, so no ETA for it.

Is this going to be integrated into the new vehicles mod, or just modified to use it instead? Kinda irrelevant since boats prolly not going to be updated for 1.2, but figured I would ask...

it's only when theres another caravan on the map, must be another mod causing issues, o well, sorry about that aha

send it in a caravan, uninstalled this and they are all broken now, so i guess no more boats for me aha o well :p

yeh hopefully is good, is the new one coming with vehicles and stuff right away or is that further down the line? don't know if you know

@Joshuawood
What do you mean by "launching the Sloop"? You can't draft it or send it in caravan? But yeah, main boats mod is severely outdated by this point. A new version should be coming soon.

This seems to break my game upon setting sail when added to a new game and breaks SRTS, No idea if it's a load order issue but there has been multiple different issues i have had to work around such as

Can't launch SRTS Expanded ship with a Sloop on the world map
Can't launch a Sloop with an SRTS expanded ship on the world map
Launching the Sloop with an SRTS recently landed causes all UI and controls to dissapear...

added it to a new game that was previously working fine with both, no idea what the issue is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ohh I see animals count as pawns.

Can animals be brought with on a boat? Like maybe based on the animals weight in relation to cargo?

@Muzzly
Oh, true. Very true.
I will make a note to correct it later - probably with a big update of the main mod.

You seem to have gotten canoes mixed up with kayaks.

Shame there aint an option to live in the middle of the ocean on a boat

Mega-yacht when?

okay thanks! I managed to figure it out without animals

@Spartan
Currently all animals on ships run out of food and die/disappear - it is a well-knows bug of the main mod. As for a little guide, well, everything works the same way as it is in the main mod... so I would recommend to read FAQ and ask quetions there

Hey, I tried getting a caravan to work with animals but they wouldnt go unto the ship. Tbh I got confused. It also didnt show for how many days i brought food while i brought 30 packaged meals with me.

Do you got a little guide on how to send ships (I use the sloop) on caravans with supplies and stuff?

@Lance Pinciotti
Boats here are similar to the ones from the base mod... so at the moment the answer is no.

can my archers/gunners shoot from the canoe? (or the sloop for that matter)

@Seb <3 do you have the Boats! mod?

lovely artwork and ideas. I felt especially that a sloop was missing. The inclusion to allow more "fitting" tribal boats was nice as well.

i like it

This looks really cool! Wish I'd known about it before I made my tribe research rowboats to transport 1 pawn :(

weird, i dont have a boats tab

@Seb <3
You build them from Boats tab. Similar to any other building

how do i make the boat?
i already have the sloop and the canoe researched but idk how to actually make the boat

@tanyfilina
Yep, the pawn's mass doesn't count for any boat right now.

The carry capacity thing is a little bit confusing. When I see "45 kg" I think, well, it could carry me without cargo, but not that big warrior ) So, the pawn's self mass doesn't count?

So I literally made this exact suggestion ago here, https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/app/294100/discussions/0/1869497078533894237/ the day before you posted this.

Obviously, you were probably working on this for a while before that, but I like to imagine I had something to do with it lol.
