Locks for rowboats

everything has changed. some dirty stinky sprucecap just boated up to my rowboat and stole one of my crates.

These crimes against hearthmanity can not stand

let us tie down our liftables with 1 rope per slot. not a lock, but a 3 second timer for tying/untying shit otherwise its way too easy for drive bys.

You may be sad when you lose the boat but the one who gains it is not.

I have stolen many many boats, and the only reaction I have ever had is a small "heh" when I see the white dot start running.
There is absolutely nothing they can do. You can't even memorize in the time takes.

It is literally impossible to catch them. Aggro does nothing except make a scent

And if the person sails away with the boat they probably needed it more than you since you were brave enough to risk that small amount of tar.

I am one of the people that ends up with 10 boats because I collect them. No they don't need it. Tar isn't hard and nobody NEEDS a boat except people who have theirs stolen while they are 20 tiles away.

Also if you get enough str you won't have to crawl with your boat. Its only a problem early game and for people who for some reason think few l of tar is expensive.

I have never gotten enough strength to run with a full boat, and a doubt people are currently at this point

Having locks would also make people bash the boats to see whats inside. In the current system if its only empty crates you leave the boat.

You say that like it is a bad thing. Bashing the boat is exactly the kind of delay I am asking for. You get to choose to either fight them, or be a pussy and let them bash your boat. Additionally, this has an added secret bonus! Some time in the future, a person, with a steel lock, with have their boat bashed. They will come to the forms to cry about it and it will be a salty delight! You and I will laugh and laugh and become the best of friends.

People getting mad about bashed boats, with expensive locks, is a good enough reason to add this to the game by itself.

The problem with bashing boats is that shit drops on the water. Nobody sees what's inside.
