I think so

Does this still work in 1.6?

okay, it seems Vehicle framework uses its own version of caravaning called "Vehicle caravan." So, Travel through Water shouldn't interact with Vehicle Framework's version of it at all, and both mods would be able to work together. Upon testing both mods (after loading it into the current test save file), I do notice that the ocean has its own higher movement class, making the boats go ~2/3 as fast as anticipated. other than that, there seems to be no effect. I'm actually kinda sad I didn't get any little fishies to come with this mod, or I think, are supposed to...but I also have Biomes! core, so it may be an interaction between this mod and Biomes! core.

I would be suprised if it doesn't work, but the community and I would appreciate it if you test it. :)

Does anyone know for sure that Travel Through Water is compatible with boats added by Vehicle framework. I'll look into it to check myself, but I just wanted to know if anyone's tried it yet.

I can confirm that this mod allows Rim War map objects to travel across water to attack you and each other. Pretty neat.

Does this work

pov you play kenshi

amazing!

well we now have boats thanks to the Veichle frame work so yay!

Oops sorry, didn't realize I already asked that.

Is this compatible with Rimwar, or are there any plans to make it compatible?

roads on water kind of look like bridges
makes it look cool, especially with islands connected to a big mainland

maybe the food restrictions disallow raw fish, but I don't really know

My caravans are successfully foraging fish while on water, and consuming some, but not all of them. Pawns are dying of starvation while the caravan still has around 50x raw fish in the inventory. Any thoughts on why?

@ewelinadominiak nah the game shouldnt even be able to let you do that if they arent going to add boats or a way to travel to the quests. It's ridiculous

I have not been able to verify it, but I'm pretty sure that they can

Can other factions travel through water now?

This is only for caravans. There are other mods for water tiles

Does it only work for caravan or are water tiles on a map (ie shallow water river) also passable ?

Rimwar?

Thanks for this, I was an idiot and created my settlement on an island.

thank bro !!!!

happy modding

Thank you thank you for your remedial help, haha. Worked like a charm.

you have to enable the mod on the start page via the "mods" button.
If you subscribe to a mod while having rimworld open, it will also give you a conformation message that it was installed (just to verify it works)

Embarrassing question, but I'm a long-time vanilla Rimworld player who has never used a mod before: how/where do I download them? I have my first 1-hex island colony and need to travel over water to do any quests. This mod seems to be exactly what I need, but I can't seem to download it? I clicked "subscribe," but...nothing. Sorry to be so dense, but I really need some help here.

This mod just changes a 0 to something larger than 0 so that water becomes passable (and fish). There are Boat and Vehicle Mods out there, but I am unsure how up-to-date they are.
I will not do any changes to this mod besides fixing potential bugs or compatibility issues.
Your ideas are good and modding can be quite fun, you could give it a try. But start small.

I should also mention that genetically engineered animals that is capable of traversing both land and sea while having a carrying capacity might not be a stretch. After all, the whales, which are in fact mammals and not fishes as is popularly thought, are descended from their ancestors that had originally inhabited the land before moving back into the seas.

The alternative possibility that I see here is a possibility of creating animals, due to some weird genetic engineering, that can traverse *both* land and sea that are capable of carrying both pawns and supplies. Their presence in the caravan would significantly reduce the travel penalty for crossing the ocean.

Unfortunately, I think the biggest downside I see here is that there might be no way to restrict it so that the number of the build-a-boat kits being *actively* used (as opposed to being merely carried, perhaps for backup or for exports) for caravan itself does not exceed in ratio to the number of passengers in the caravan, as that could potentially create the situation where there would be many empty boats which is, uh, very unrealistic. I am not sure how that could be accomplished.

Just an idea, but you could consider adding a new craftable item that is a stand-in for boat, perhaps a build-a-boat kit (lol), that adds a modifier that significantly increases the travel time. It then could be selected to add it to the caravan supply when preparing the caravan. Otherwise, you travel by default in canoes that is very *slow*.

Different build-a-boat kits could create different types of vessels such as East Indiaman or Clipper ship (though, these are ships, not boats).

Do note that these vessels do not need to be physically present when the caravan departs from or arrives back to the colony. They just simply construct/deconstruct (don't ask ;)) the boat once they depart/arrive. So no need to create additional art assets for the boats/ships themselves.

Again, these are just the ideas to consider. It may or may not be viable or feasible.

Bravissimo!

It just makes water passable, so it will be treated by the game as such. The consequences won't be scary imo, but buggy if enabled for too long

sounds scary actually

I do not know how this changes the behavior of caravans, raids, or i.e. the "safely hidden away" mod. It might cause some odd behavior that I am unable to rule out. Do so at your own risk.

@VISilt mr dev, what does it mean This mod is not meant to be permanently active, in what way may it cause issues, except the road generation on new map form?

Guess that issue still persists. Enable this mod only when you want to travel over water, its safe to add and remove from existing saves

Roads spawn on water still for me, for some reason

looks like pawns are not gonna enjoy scurvy either, but total starvation instead

Pawns forage fish while on the ocean, no vanilla expanded fish though. Unless they use the same defname "RawFish"

Are vanilla expanded fishing mods working with resource gathering during sea travel?

Finally, my archipelago colony can finally join the AI factions and their aquatic caravans. XD

I don't think so

hey, I was wondering, will this allow caravans to settle on ocean tiles too?

Oh, lol. All roads lead to Atlantis I guess.

@NotSoGentleMan Seems like the issue has been resolved, but in ealier versions roads spawned on the water

Wow! Thank you!

Hey, what exactly are the problems that can happen with this mod activated from the begining? Been using this mod for years but only now saw the warning :0

Updated the supported versions for 1.3+
