Notes
The increased size cap effectively eliminates restrictions within build areas, the only way to hit the cap is to extend far outside the build area. It makes it easier to stretch a quick runway or make really big parts for large ships. Some parts that start small may hit the cap sooner.
Things like steering wheels and fuel tanks can no longer be used as the root for structures. The reason for this is that it defies some of the schema for how vessels are expected to be constructed which can cause structures to take lots of damage when impacted. Valid roots are now things like cubes or other simple shapes (and hulls). An easy root to have is a cube that you mark with a specific color to note it as the root and hide it away somewhere so you can move it later if needed.
If you have structures with roots that are no longer allowed, they will still work but likely suffer from extreme damage when impacted.
Catching fish with a Nautikin is client side, because fish are not synchronized in multiplayer due to the extreme amount of fish (saves a lot of time/network messages). Though this will likely not be noticeable unless 2 players are fishing in the same location and discuss the fish they are fishing. In any case, when you catch a fish you receive a fish regardless of if other players are catching the "same" fish in a similar location.
Fish will react to a member of their group being taken and become harder to catch. They will calm down if you return later.
Eating fish meat will restore a small amount of health but cannot be used to revive Nautikins.
All caught fish result in the same type of fish meat but result in different amounts.
Fish meat spawned from killing fish with harpoons will not be saved and despawn after a while if not picked up.
Fish containers can hold any type of fish like meat (Fish, Shark, Turtle, Whale, etc.), but will not allow any other item type.
You can sell the fish container inventory when nearby buy shacks.
Catching fish with nets only requires the boat be moving and nearby fish. The fish do not have to go into the net physically. The orientation of the net relative to the fish does matter.
Fishing nets do not have collisions for performance reasons / limitations of the physics engine.
Each fish container can hold 1200 kg of fish.
You can put fishing parts on structures, but they will not do anything (except for passive fish storage).
The fish container can be used without the fishing net, but the fishing net will not do anything without a fish container.
When you drop items underwater, they tend to simply stay in the water where you dropped them. However there are/were some unintended side effects with this behavior such as dropping an item underwater above a submarine will make it attach to the submarine but still float above it, so instead now it will snap when underwater and dropped above a vessel. Additionally since this dropping behavior is not a saved action, if you park a submarine under previously dropped items they may decide to snap to the submarine on load rather than continue floating. The intent with this behavior is that if at any point you drop an item above a vessel you want it to stay with the vessel and if you do not you don't want it to sink into the ocean.
There are now 200 parts in the game.
Guides will be updated / added for fishing soon.
