What is this?

[Loopoo]

With the addition of boats there should be some way to make canals for them :<

Canals would be a waste of time to be honest.

Most people situate themselves near rivers, lakes, and other focal points (IE, a point where two rivers meet). That way, you'd only really need to link up your dock / pier / harbor / whatever to your town / city with a road, and then you could just cart goods over to your boat.

At least, that's what i'm going to do. When boats arrive, i'm making one, putting all my goods in it and moving away. Then i'll just slowly build my base back up again and become a trader. I'll have an inn where two rivers meet, i'd sell food and beer, offer shelter and carts for sale (in case they wanted to move out) and perhaps a few small boats for them to buy. My business will boooooom

Only one detail you're missing and that's claimed rivers.

I thought about that. Claimed rivers would be gay as anything, but i'm pretty sure Jorb and Loftar would HAVE to make ships claimable. Meaning, as soon as I make my ship, I claim it, either for myself, or for my village.

I guess you could craft some sort of miniature claim stake that works on boats and makes it yours. That way, if it gets lost in a claim, you can still interact with it and get it out.

I'd hate to have what happens to carts do the same to boats. Losing your boat in a claim full of goods would be horrible.

*Shrug* just get trespassing or light
it on fire? either way the other guy
doesn't get it. i think people (If this
were possible) would make boat
traps to stop or destroy peoples boats
just to be mean or to board, kill and
plunder. Pirating ftw?
