Dock for rowboats

Post by shubla »

Basically a dock, but smaller and for rowboats. People constantly steal rowboats if they are left outside of the wall, and constantly carrying them in and out is not nice.

But you're also more or less constantly hearthing with them. I'm not sure I see the necessity of it other than as fluff almost no one would use.

Boat would hearth back to the dock, then you could jump out of boat and hearth back to your HF.
Docks and mechanics for all this should already be in the game as we have knarrs, so adding option to do the same with rowboats would be nice.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Fine.

That seems reasonable enough to defeat my argument.

Of course one could still teleport to hf while lifting the boat.
But to teleport while standing in the boat you would need to have a dock.

Wouldn't that effectively re-introduce village transports?

This would be greatly exploitable.

Maybe you couldn't teleport to dock with rowboat? You could sell ppl rowboat docked in your village to allow fast transportation to your base.
+1 only for docking rowboats

I would like a dock just to lock the rowboat to tbh. Teleporting to it would be too much, but if you could set it up so you could only take a rowboat from the dock with a key that'd be dope
