@conwhitgaming If you look at the top of the workshop as of today, we have a wide variety of creations from submarines, dodge challenger replicas, tanks, a missile, and a few ships. This is a sandbox game lol, not everybody is playing for career mode so thats kindve an invalid question. It doesnt have much use for RP either, *just happened to be a ship I felt like building and works well for what it was built to transport*.

When it comes to the truck, its most likely just your build being too heavy. This was made and tested using a specific user's vehicles. Normal trucks in SW are quite heavy, especially tankers due to the high fluid weights. The boat simply isnt made to handle that type of stress.

amazing boat in looks, (sorry but) it does simply not work well in service. Really (unless your on a RP server), when will you need to use tiny cars in your career mode? (a single small tanker truck flipped it) IDK if i'm just using it wrong... Anyways love the boats look but in career it doesnt help much, still good for RP use tho.

@DReam_Egg

Please disable inf electricity when playing to avoid this. Inf electricity causes the onboard alarms to go off.

i dont know if it has something to do with some addons if it is a but i get 2 alarms (tsunami + one more) that i cant turn off when i use this ship spesificly. I would realy like to have this boat work, because it is so charming

If its an entirely new boat then id be fine with its upload, though if its only an edit then id rather say no

Its a more modernized one, but i've added text to the side, moved the nameplate, added some stuff to make it more realistic and accurate to the real M/V canna, aswell as the fact im planning on adding a little dinghy as a lifeboat, and i've also added a small TV, aswell as some rust to the paintwork and some slight modifications (such as power outlets)

@unbreakify Depends on what it is, I normally dont allow edits n such to be uploaded
rotanev 27 May, 2023 @ 11:49am 
I made a little mod over the course of about ~2 days, i was wondering if i could upload it, with credits and a link to this, of course. I'm still working on it so i don't expect to release it immediately. (That is if you approve of me uploading it!)
MauveTheWolf  [author] 26 May, 2023 @ 12:44pm 
@unbreakify Ive seen that a while ago, though its not really one im interested in. Currently have two other boats in the works. One is a mix of several designs meant for offshore wind turbine crews, while the other is a medium sized research vessel.
rotanev 26 May, 2023 @ 10:39am 
I know another scottish vessel you can make, the M/V Glenachulish! Also known as the 'Last manually operated turntable ferry'. its very cool.
rotanev 25 May, 2023 @ 11:58am 
it is quite a small funnel, i dont blame you not realizing it lol, just thought it was a bit odd after i realized it wasnt there. ps, i just published some concrete ferryslips dedicated for smaller ferries, with this one directly in mind. (its very simple lol)

@unbreakify

Its definitely a downside. When building I was a bit concerned on vehicles, which is why id specified that it's for smaller ones. Even though this heavily limits creations that can be transported the boat works quite well for other uses too.

Also yeah- In general using the ramp and anchor system turned out to be quite fun when visiting locations. Im hoping to make another vehicle with a ramp but focused more on utility.

& lastly I'd honestly not even noticed the funnel lol. Wouldve added it as they are quite fun for me to build, though id simply not seen it. Also of course, all of my creations are electrically powered so its not the biggest deal.
rotanev 25 May, 2023 @ 12:02am 
(i cannot express how much i love this thing)
rotanev 25 May, 2023 @ 12:00am 
what is a slight downside (and a very little one at that, it isnt a direct issue or bug) is the fact 5/10 stormworks cars are incredibly oversized, but either way, i found a few that work with it. Its very fun to use with ferry piers! (Also, the addition of emergency lights and an alarm is very nice.)

Also, did you try to add the funnel seen on the real one, or was it too big to fit on there?
MauveTheWolf  [author] 24 May, 2023 @ 1:59pm 
@unbreakify Thank you :)

@surferchck Are you overloading it, or just not balancing the weight? This is meant for smaller vehicles.
surferchck 24 May, 2023 @ 10:57am 
Why does it just tip over?
rotanev 23 May, 2023 @ 11:17pm 
10/10 i will use this again. amazing build quality
MauveTheWolf  [author] 21 May, 2023 @ 3:59pm 
Jesus I cant spell. Cannons and barrels* being too high*

If I recall correctly the weapon parts have high mass, so they would need to be transported without other cargo or tied down in the center of the boat for stability.
MauveTheWolf  [author] 21 May, 2023 @ 3:57pm 
@ChewBARKa Turn inf electric off.
@conwhitgaming Most likely the artillery weapon is too heavy for the boat to handle. This is meant for small civilian vehicles, due to the mass of the weapon canonsand barrels being do high, it probably isnt able to handle it.
ChewBARKa 21 May, 2023 @ 8:49am 
when i spawn it it wont stop honking
conwhitgaming 21 May, 2023 @ 8:00am 
this boat looks amazing... but, i loaded two willy's jeeps on one side and a portable artillery gun on the other side (if you find the jeep, you can find the artillery too) and it capsized instantly. i'm presuming i overloaded the canna ferry to one side? please, id love to hear back on this.
MauveTheWolf  [author] 20 May, 2023 @ 4:00pm 
@Blurr Glad to hear :D

And yeah- thought it was possible so with a silly little xml trick the horn cable became a feature :)
Blurr 20 May, 2023 @ 12:30pm 
Love the boat feeling. The handeling is so spot on. The horn string is a nice addition too!
Creaghalls 19 May, 2023 @ 5:42pm 
yea, one of my favourite boats, in my top 3 favourite ferrys for sure
MauveTheWolf  [author] 18 May, 2023 @ 4:34pm 
@Creaghalls Nice :D I see that you've built a version of their updated ferry as well
Creaghalls 18 May, 2023 @ 4:25pm 
very cool, used to watch this boat all the time from ballycastle
Tigrrer 18 May, 2023 @ 3:51pm 
Looks nice!
i will try it out for my small cars soon)
MauveTheWolf  [author] 18 May, 2023 @ 1:00pm

@notmopman Would definitely hope so
Nova 18 May, 2023 @ 12:57pm
