Make dugout boats lighter

[shubla]

Currently they are so heavy that there is no sense in carrying them, its faster to chop a tree and carve a new one, than to carry it for small distance.
World will run out of trees if its weight is not lowered!

Im already running out of trees in my own area

Honestly, another issue that contributes to them being abandonned is their cheap stam cost to create. I'll chop a tree to 99% then dugout it. I feel that maybe the boat should come out with the durability the tree had left on the log. Also: Inability to carry anything in the canoe + cheap creation = canoes being abandonned to port logs home (new canoe + free wood).

I think a balanced change would be to up the stam cost, make the durability reflect what was left on the log, and let it hold 1 liftable object so people aren't constantly dumping canoes to port home with a barrel or a corpse.

ive been collecting them since people just drop em all over the place. everytime i meet someone new who is decent enough to greet me back, and i see they dont have one, i just give em mine and port home. rest in my bed for 10 minutes and the TW is all gone. i havent even bothered to purchase boat building because who the hell needs it when the beach outside every single quest giver has half a dozen dugouts sitting there? thats just 1500LP waster. though i do miss being able to carry boxes in my boat.

Well, there's still the boat curio. That alone is worth the 1500 lp

Dugout canoes arent light at all.
They are pretty damn heavy.
