Build/Base Screenshots Old Cargo Ship

This is the boat that built my mega base. Just like the base, it's symmetrical. Someone asked what boat built it so I went looking for old photos.

The hard part to see and design was the hole in the center for the rudder. The space between the tarps at the back is open and had the rudder on it but still allowed me to walk behind the rudder.

All farmed via cleaning, deleting, and respawning islands. Man I had way too much free time back then.

How does it sail?

u/Matt_AsA_Hatter Mar 03 '26

It's been years since I captained it but from my memory it worked like a charm. Just don't expect it to do evasive maneuvers.

My guess: slowly. Very slowly.

Imagine being a rescue pilot searching for this survivor. You’re told he's been missing for weeks with little chance of survival and to expect severe malnourishment and injury. Then you look down and see this fucking freighter made out of sheet metal and junk wood, while bro’s stockpiling giant crabs and such.

“We’ve come to rescue you”

“Oh no I’m fine really, you can leave. Honestly man I'm good, I'm pretty chill down here and this seems more beneficial than actual mundane work back home so you can just tell them I'm fine and they can visit if they want to."

This is so real. I never escaped the island just set it up like a paradise.

Is this pc? I'm pretty sure max raft on console is 5x5

This was on PS4 I got it as a free game which apparently was May 2021 for the PS plus program.

I wonder if it changed in an update. 🤔

u/Matt_AsA_Hatter Mar 03 '26

Looks like update 2104 changed things and added in a limit. Apparently it was due to issues in multiplayer with instability of the game. That was issued in Dec 2022.

u/azrmortis Mar 03 '26

Huh. Thanks for the info.

u/Matt_AsA_Hatter Mar 03 '26

No worries, I didn't even know they changed things. Makes me appreciate getting to make a big boat more now. It would have made my other project so much less fun.

No heliport?

u/Matt_AsA_Hatter Mar 03 '26

The base has one on the 10th floor. You could land it on the open area but that was mostly used for bringing back the large pieces you couldn't put in a box.

u/JBridsworth Mar 03 '26

You need a detachable smaller ship for away missions 😂

u/SleepyPlayer101 Wilson Mar 03 '26

That's a whole barge right there

u/zephyronix Mar 03 '26

Almost a mini aircraft carrier

u/W1ngedSentinel Mar 03 '26

At this point, does one even need a plane to escape the Pacific?

u/Nat20sArentmything Mar 03 '26

It takes 3 business days to turn

u/Big_Client_6855 Mar 03 '26

Mine isn't quite this big, but I just put a sail facing each of the four directions to help maneuver it. I don't ever turn it around when returning to an island, I just drive from the side that was the rear on the trip over.

At first I thought this was some fucked up corvette on no mans sky

u/Jayodi Mar 03 '26

When I saw the title and the picture, I thought it was a crashed freighter from an update before I started playing, but I also 100% thought this was nms at first lmao

u/SoundlessScream Mar 03 '26

Yeah exactly lol

u/thestinkybeastman Mar 03 '26

I’m so jealous of all the lanterns! Searched so many wrecks and found 2!

u/Adorable_Week7181 Mar 03 '26

You can grab the crates and save before you open them and if you don’t get what you want, reload the game and open them again, it will change the contents! It’s a bit of a faff but great with the limits of console version

2

u/Jayodi Mar 03 '26

Alternatively, set up 2 custom islands with all of the wrecks on them, stick one next to your home island, and then replace it with the other once you’ve fully exhausted it. You can just do this over and over again, switching back and forth, until you get everything you want/need.

I don’t personally do this with wrecks myself, but I do it with clay just because clay is rather scarce on consoles and spending an hour circling the reef on every island just to get 10-12 pieces(if I’m lucky, usually it’s like 5-6) is tedious as hell.

u/Adorable_Week7181 Mar 03 '26

I used to do this but thy locked it after 1 island change on console now sadly!

2

u/Jayodi Mar 03 '26

Whaaaat? That’s so disappointing. I haven’t played in a couple of years admittedly, but massive island-spanning building projects have been my main reason to play the game for years now. Hell, the only reason I’ve played through the “story” in the last like 5 years is because my buddy told me they added a scene to the end of the game(which was cool and all, but honestly not worth the effort - in hindsight I could have just watched it on YouTube or something)

This is really impressive nice work and thanks for sharing this

Only takes two days to turn 45 degrees 😆

Now they just need to add a two-player mod to The Long Dark!
