River crossing

[EvilDragon]

when crossing river, we need swimming. it is so annoying.
so I want that there will be the River-Crosser!

as my english is poor, I can't more explain

Ferryboat, I guess.
Well, if there`d be some force which would pull boat to a player wherever he`s on opposite side that`d be awesome. For example, NPC...ah wait, we have no NPC. So, I guess, it wouldn`t be implemented.

We already have such a thing and it is called a boat. According to the devs rivers are meant as obstacles, that is why swimming is so deadly. It is quite easy to build a boat though and if you want to take stuff like cattle with you over a river just use a raft.

I think it'd be neat if you could attach a raft to a cable, so it stays at the same place and you can pull it to you if it's on the opposite side of the river. Presto, ferry.

A wild griefer appears!
Anyway, I love it. Being free from need to build a boat every two days is great, at least for forest.

I want to things like bridge. I just want to try crossing river.
when encountering river, I must make a boat to cross. it's annoying...
and there is many boat theft. river-crossing by using boat is not good.

If bridges were implemented they would need to cost so many materials as to prevent bridge spam, thus a boat would still be used to cross rivers. If you are having problems with boat theft, keep them on claimed land. Nobody in their right mind would risk leaving a scent for a dang boat.

bridges won't be implemented anytime soon.

How about adding kayak or canoe, so we can carry it along travel and use it whenever river appears?

I'm tired of building rowboats whenever I stumble upon another river, which I never expected.

I don't even need 2 seats or 2 cargo hold, but I have to make it again just to cross the water...

iirc they said they wanted to add more boats at some point in the future
