Hi, Boats and Rafts coming into AreaZ to allow you to travel easily thru swamp and lake.
Even boats were not planned first when I started to created the game, I have decided to implement them in. Now the become a vital part of survival especially in swamp areaz.
Boat is spawned and can be found in swamp. To move the boat, player needs to have paddle in right hand, while having the left hand empty.
Paddle can be found nearby boat or crafted from wood with knife. It is not a primary recipe - so you need to do it thru inventory.
To enter boat just stand nearby when other loot is not highlighted. You can enter by pressing "F" by default. To disembark boat - press by default "X" key.
(Please note the disembark "X" key has replaced the sitting input. To sit or stand up in "Z" key now assigned)
On boat you can also perform other actions - pick up items from water, craft, eat, drink, drop items or even build. Just use the crafting menu, or hold "F" for primary crafting recipes.
There might be some minor issues. F.e. when lighting fire (torch, flare) it will not light up. Better said it will immediately extinguish as it touches the water line during animation.
The shooting does not yet work when sitting on boat - it is planned after firearms will be added.
You can also build raft within 2 steps.
1) take wooden pile to each hand and look on swamp or lake water (will not work with stream or ocean water). Press "F" to craft , if you have enough calories.
2) Then place the raft on water using "Num Ins" or "Num0". You can also rotate it with numerical controls.
3) Take liana in right hand, and another wooden pile to left hand, and while watching on raft press "F".
4) Place the final raft on water using "Num Ins" or "Num0". You can unlock it with " num/ " and rotate during this step as well.
Enjoy the trip!
Thank you for your support!
