Makeshift Raft
You can now build a raft and use it to cross water.
See this quick video for a basic exemple.
Build the Raft
- You need 2 levels of Carpentry and 1 level of Tailoring.
- You need 5 logs, 3 ropes, 1 sheet and 1 saw.
- The ingredients may be replaced by similar items (all use tags).
- The recipe is known from start.
- The raft is heavy, build it close to the water.
Control the raft
- To enter the water, you need the raft in your inventory.
- Ensure the wind will not push you back to the shore immediately.
- Walk to the water, the rest is automatic.
- Once on the water, you control the direction with the cursor like when in combat or sit.
- Once on the water, the drag and drift depend on the wind force and direction.
- You can use forward and backward control to move the raft if you have a paddle equipped.
- To exit the water, you need to join a shore and once arrive just walk to the ground to get up.
The Wind
- The wind direction can be known from vanilla radio weather forecast.
- The wind direction can be known from the wind rose. (color and visibility are controlable from mod options)
- No arrow means no wind (or neglectable).
- When the wind becomes dangerously strong, the arrow becomes more red. (Unless you chose red color for the arrow)
Fishing
- Fishing is possible from the raft if you have a fishing rod.
- Ensure you are not moving while fishing. Fishing model is not made for this and I did not add protection yet.
Technical details
- The West / East axis on the wind rose is exact but the closer you are to North or South, the less precise it is compared to the map. (the rose is orthogonal, and does not respect isometry)
- E.g. If the wind if full North, it will push to the right of the Wind Rose direction.
- Can be added to any game save any time.
- Can be removed from your game save as long as your character is NOT on water.
- Multiplayer available but the positions of other players on raft are not updated correctly.
- Joypad is not handled.
- Works only for B42.13.1 and further.
- Not compatible with Aquatsar Yacht Club or any other mod allowing to move on water.
- This mod is sort of overpowered which may lead to boredom, beware.
- If you have questions or problems about the mod, ask on Official PZ Discord: mod_support channel[discord.gg].
