🦈 Codfather Adjustments
Codfather aggression rebalanced
Aggro builds up 76% slower than before.
Aggro decays 3x faster by before, making it easier to shake him off... at first.
Speed needed to trigger aggro lowered by 50%
But beware — over your first 10 days, his temper increases...
Spawning behavior improved
Codfather will no longer appear directly in front of the boat — giving you a fair chance to escape.
He now spawns 75% farther away, From 200 → 350 units for more breathing room.
Minimap improvements
Codfather now appears on the minimap when aggroed.
Movement behavior updated
Codfather moves 25% slower when close to the boat, giving tight escapes a better shot.
🛥️ Boat Handling & Performance
Base speed increased by 37.5%
From 8 → 11. Zoom zoom.
Steering responsiveness increased by 50%
From 10 → 15. Smoother turns, better panic slides.
Client handling now properly synced
Steering and speed should feel consistent across host and clients. No more sluggish turns for passengers!
🗺️ Navigation & Radar
Main island now visible on the minimap
Makes it easier to orient yourself and your crewmates when returning from the fog.
🐛 Known Issues
Fish physics are still slippery. Caught fish may launch, slide, or clip through the boat like they’ve got unfinished business. We're wrangling it!
Stability issues on respawn. Some players experience occasional crashes or flow-breaking glitches, especially during respawn or transitions.
We're actively working on these! If you encounter any crashes, please send us your Player.log — it really helps us track these down.
