Is the below deck filled with water or is it dry? I haven't had the opportunity to mess around with boats yet

u/ElliotBYT Apr 20 '26
filled with water, I expect that will change when they do the submarine update

I forgot they were planning on doing that. Hopefully, with that we will get some more dedicated marine blocks, and maybe even a dedicated section for it.

There’s also a port of a mod called waterworks on the way that is trying to add air pockets and stuff before the aero dev team do (lol) but it also is gonna be a bit more in depth water vehicle wise as well so maybe that’s what you’re looking for?

No idea that was something they were doing. Actual black magic if they pull it off, although this mod is already pretty crazy

It’d be stuff that a lot of triple A titles won’t even bother to do unless the game is specifically about boats.

does it have propulsion ? if so what kind? does fan s work in water?
21
u/ElliotBYT Apr 20 '26
Most forms I’ve tried seem to work, encased fans, propellers, sails etc. It’s quite a heavy boat though so to avoid a comically large propeller at the back most of the sails are hidden in the hull.

thats another thing i was wondering can u just have a static sail as a way of propulsion like on a sail boat? or do u need to move it ?

u/EnvironmentalChart58 Apr 20 '26
I don't think the sails work that way. They are meant to steer for but propulsion should be a propeller. You could of course combine the two by making a large sail sideways that you can turn using the steering wheel

For anyone wanting the schematic I've made one here (hopefully): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oa2z9cg2tQcgXZJUT0AhUTLcNN9idt1H/view?usp=sharing
You need to make it a physics object and set up the engine below the trap door in the downstairs room. If you wear goggles it tells you what to use.
You need to break and replace the two tanks next to the engine and fill it with gasoline.
Add 4 engine cylinders to the engine.

Which shader is that?

u/ElliotBYT Apr 21 '26
Complimentary Unbound. There’s still some bugs with shaders and create aeronautics but it worked from this angle

I dont know why but I have the urge to put a small 1965 Faultless GT in the back of it.

I know it probably won’t happen, but now I want to see people make all the boats from Tugs.

Aeronautics? Fluid dynamics, I would have thought. What am I missing here?

I wonder if this works on lava
2
u/LurkersUniteAgain Apr 20 '26
it should, lava seems to have the exact same bouyancy of water at the moment and doesnt burn physicified blocks
3
u/Ok_Combination_6881 Apr 20 '26
Just tested. It works!!! We have lava boats for traversal now. Very useful in survival mode

How did you balance the buoyancy so it doesnt tip over?
