docks makes knarrs a viable option compared to rowboat+tele

knarrs are expensive and often I wouldn't even use it because of the travel back home

docks are expensive and risky as hell because any criminal can destroy it

so it's a good balance between OP features and expensive risk

Just built a dock for the knar and seeing how easily it can be broken, I think that it definitely should cost less, I mean tarsticks of course.

I like the new dock but I don't really think you should be able to port with a knarr I have to say ... I do think the cost of the dock is expensive but then it does seem appropriate seeing as you can now port home with a big cargo ... I wouldn't build one simply for the fact that it is not secure.

Added toggle to "Display Mining Radii", displays mining radius of all mine supports.
Added toggle to "Display Quality on Items", displays quality on all inventory items.
This is great to see!
Only displays quality on inventory items though, not on container items?
But, still, a good step in the right direction to making default a viable option.

Boo! Lol.
Made lantern stands liftable.
Yay! :D
Made it so that you may keep the UIs for domestic animals open while you still have the animal within view. While the UI of an animal is open, the name of it will be displayed above it as well.
Finding this very helpful. :)

High price and high risk for a strong effect on the docks. Seems fair to me.

So regarding the dock I would have been way more happy with removing teleportation from roads (to be replaced with a speed boost when traveling) and adding a marker type that can be build on water so boats can operate on them - instead of yet another form of teleportation being added.
While conveniently not addressing your larger points so as to not have to organize my thoughts on those, I'd just like to add that for the Knarr specifically, it has been asymmetric to all other mounts in that it couldn't be brought with you when teleporting to hearth, which made it in that aspect worse than all other mounts, and that felt unnecessary.

Vehicles that can't hearth home are pretty much irrelevant. You can't take them out even for short spins, without risking being stuck with a significantly longer play session than you can afford, and if anything at all should come up to prevent you from playing on, you suddenly have a problem.

Sure, we can have a super realistic game where no one ever uses Knarrs, but I have to believe that them seeing use could be more fun.

With that statement in mind, is it possible that something similar to knarrs and docks will be done for wagons in the future?

I take my knarr out ... just saying, I went to the market and back which was a considerably long trip due to the waterway system ... it was fun. :)

Though I will be honest and say my passenger had to get off and port back half way as it did take longer than his allotted playing time ... lol.
