amazing mod. ship looks a bit too modern though. populous (game) has some good ship inspiration design for this type of game. if I had the skill, I would import those ship models somehow

This kind of Mod really needs to be better known so other modders can use it as an example to work off of.

If someone could adapt this concept to something like a kayak or canoe, so a character could pick it up and carry it over land, it would likely become one of the great must have mods for Kenshi.

Where are the boats? I'm off the coast of West Hive and there's nothing there.

Must I import to the new game?

@Egg I might get around to that eventually. Going to start getting back into a lot of modding soon.

@Jorn just a fake race.

we need this but with something like this model https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2174186475 hmm

Could i ask how you did this, i have blender and the plugin, i just wonderd how you did this , curious as i want to exactly this but with my custom model, but unsure how you did with your FCS

Could anyone tell me where you find some of them

also i found the tower of fog, and theres just a single boat, apart of the fogman faction, is that mean to happen?

@Teirdalin, would you consider cooperation with the author of this mod to use the look of his/her boats and combine it with the mobility from your mod? ;-)

@Teirdalin, Where would we find boats that are NPCS? Also would we need to start a fresh save to start seeing them?

I love your creativity and simply adore your mods

Have you thought about a swamp boat? Like a 2 person paddle boat for traversing the swamps, something like a small canoe.

Where are spawns?

@Kinesthesia Actually my friend Cattrina is doing just exactly that. It's not finished yet though I suppose.

ehm and the realistic collection obvs

Your quality of life essentials list is like I had a split personality that was able to make mods, and did it for me while I thought I was asleep. Thank you.

nice concept.. I suppose if you're into mounts, riders and boats, then you could recreate the existing animals to carry people.. like a 'fake player' version of existing animals in the game.. now that will be a hit. ^^,

The teleporter uses actually another trick, it's a bed (or cage can't member), which has a huuuuuuge range to be used (usually you can only use a furniture from a short range, but using it actually teleports you ).

Oh, I wonder how they manage that. If there's some sort of custom scripting in Kenshi that could allow for a ton of potential.

didn't think about automated turrrets but yup !
I was talking about beacons because of the already existing teleporter mod, which requires people at both ends to work, beacons would solve that.

Beacons can be rather cool for being able to check on an area
Also can make automated turrets.

oh ! Clever :) . That also opens possibility regarding a balloon mod, or setting "beacons" that wouldn't walk for a teleporter mod .

Yep, mixing walk and run speed caps and swim speed multi.

and you can restrict the movement to allow only in water ?

It's a fake player with a specific movement settings and large pathing footprint and slow acceleration, so technically it can be given guns.

Wait that means we can have sort of vehicles, AT ST and sheit ?? Didn't know about the carrying available with creatures o_o

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyybbeeeee.

Hey yo @Teirdalin if you're needing a guy to make a port for you, let me know and add me on Steam! I've worked on the Project Genesis for small-scale swamp villages, the Shimmer Of Shem, and my own mod New Cities: Han.

A wooden boat sounds like a fun idea. I could potentially give the boats a ranged attack.
Currently a bit more preoccupied with my Warhammer and Zero mods.

이거말고 그냥 나무로 된 배가 어떻습니까? 그리고 그 위에서 싸움까지 벌일수있다면 완벽한 해적 컨셉이 될것 같습니다

It's the way the ride chaser in my Zero mod does it. Just the player is hidden so the being held ragdoll isn't so visible and silly looking. lol

I think it's a great idea.
In short, creatures in the shape of ships are carrying humans and moving on the water.
When it develops, the beak can carry humans up like a horse.

They just hold one person, would be swell if it was possible to allow for multiple holding but I don't think it is.

Metal floating on water? S'not natural. Okran does not approve!

For NPCS you may look at using a patch for Wandering Caravans/Mercs/etc.
Are the boats capable of carrying more than one character or no?

If someone can accomplish, anything at all, with the "YOU ARE THE BOAT" start, I will be genuinely surprised.

could you make a seperate mod for the grimy textures please?
so everyone gets a choice of clean or dirty textured boats.

I can just toss some rust and grime over all the textures. lol

Cool proof of concept. Needs a bit of refinement though i think, right now it doesn't fit too well with Kenshi, as the boats are way too clean and modern looking :) but kudos on the idea

Probably maybe in the future.

Yeah I was thinking of doing that. Just a little tedious, pretty sure I need to place the town ingame with all mods except the one I'm working on, and that just feels like too much effort for Boat mod. lol

hmm. i have an idea. why not create a town on the places you need them?
that way you can have a 100% chance of getting them to spawn in those places.

and it doesnt need to be a full town. just make it work like a nest but only spawn in specific places on the map.

there might be a tutorial on creating towns somewhere....

Kenshis system needs a way to create npcs.

I always knew I needed this, but I still feel like with the way I implemented it I'm probably not going to find them when I need them.

oh my god. i didn't know i needed this.
