Suggestion: Docks

[Arcanist]

Basically a dock would be a structure that sits above the water, and would be permanent, sort of like a raft that you can't move once it's built.

Docks would be made mostly of wood, rope and bone glue, maybe some metal for chains.
It would be built sort of like a wall (that we could walk on), initial corner post and lengths from there, build on shallows or deep water, and the initial corner could be built on shallows only. Building on deep water should be more expensive.

Also boats could be hitched to it, and adding a lock and chain would make it a crime to remove the boat without a key.

Docks??
Boy that's half way to bridges

Im not sure what the benefit would be. We can just leave our boats on the shore.

The only way i could see it actually being of use, is if the boats where attached to the dock then needed theft to remove. Much like a leanto. (you did suggest)

or we could make an alt claim.

The cost needs to be proportional.

if we get larger ships then i think it's needed but i think the chance of grief is high. blocking a river off would give zone control

blocking a river off would give zone control

It would also allow one to cross a river without a boat or swimming

So now that we have large unliftable boats/ships, how are we to keep them ours?
