Canoes

[Adder1234]

I was thinking that canoes could be added as vehicles faster than rowboats that cannot carry objects. They could be made out of wooden blocks and look like logs but with the inside carved out.

I really liked canoes from salem.

And make it so that you can carry it on your back. I think it has been suggested before though.

It could be nice new game mechanic, building the canoe from one single log - just like stonemill or runestone from boulder.

But I prefer the idea of rowboat customization - they have two "blank" spots used as inventory by the default, and two upgrades - sail and rudder - both can be installed into the rowboat to increase its speed, but every upgrade will take one inventory space.
Certainly, it would demand O-C-O system to be implemented.

Not fully understans. Do you want easy-made water vehicle, or you want to make fastest transport out of sticks and mud?
This there could be:
1. Simple canoe, made as author says, by carving a log. It must be slow, cannot carry objects, and not accommodate passengers.
2. Hard to craft canoe, that requires materials and skills to make it streamlined and light.
Also must require stamina.

wouldn't it be "too many canoes for fictional world loosely inspired by Slavic and Germanic myth and legend"?

This thread is just a require of tecnology crafting fast boat.
Slavians have tectology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dugout_canoe (More info Лодка-однодневка or Долблёнка)

Should probably happen at some point, yeah.

Being able to carve small boat for one from log would be quite neat.
