Yes, when Vehicle Framework is officially updated to 1.6. I will work back on reported issues at that time as well.

So, about 1.6...?

Does it work on the current version?

Is this still being updated? Theres been no updates in almost a year and people are complaining that the caravans cant make it off the boats?

Do not use this mod until it has been updated. As others have pointed out, your caravan can leave your colony but cannot interact with its destination.

I'm having an issue where I can't get pawns to split from the caravan after we've made landfall. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

There is a 1/3 chance that this mod is causing an error when starting a new save for me.

I can't leave with the boat, I'm on an island and the boat has access out but every time I try to set a caravan the pawns immediately go back to what they were doing before. It tells me that they are getting ready in the corner note but they never start.

Don't think this works for 1.4 anymore. Boats can be loaded and sent out, but you can't land on empty zones. You have to land on occupied spaces, and from there, when you return to base you are unable to move your full caravan as it's stuck without a clear path to move, even if there is one. This has been my experience, anyone getting this to work as intended?

boats can't leave my base from sea side

Does anyone know how to do a mixed caravan? (Where they take the boat to shore and walk the way to the goal) so far they won't even let me set way points

This and all the vehicle mods I support are due for a review and update. I appreciate your patience.

I believe now some or all of the vehicle frameworks boats can go on the rivers. Will this one get that function?

Of course. Low priority for now as the Vehicle Framework is not updated, and I have many other mods to update.

1.5 maybe?

So I'm doing an island play-through meaning these boats are a necessity! I just loaded a caravan onto the paddle boat that uses fuel, I set the pawn to drive it towards land, he got to the land and yet i was unable to have him exit the boat and or reform a caravan to continue towards the quest. i try to click on the quest and have him enter\move towards it and he completely disapeared from my settlement list for pawns. What went wrong? Why?

I did a caravan with the caravel, and loaded a lot of food, but my pawns ended up starving only a day in, I don’t know if I’m doing it wrong or it’s the mod?

@zaljere Why are Caravels and steamboats so tiny??

why do pawns load the boats one item at the time?

hey, i was thinking that it would be nice if there's a possibility to make pawns use the small boats on their own to get from one side to the other side without player intervention. all of this in the same map. it's just a tough; this way boats could improve efficience and its usefulness. thanks for all!

That error is being reported by others on the Vehicle Framework Discord as well, it's not specific to this mod.

"some assigned colonists are unable to reach the exit location (N)"
also, it kicks everyone out the boat which means that if you're on the map border everyone gets teleport-ed off the deep ocean water and the boat is left there accessible.

I saw that this problem was already reported.I am uninstalling.

Zal i have a request please continue the giants mod the creater gave permission in chat as he had limited coding knowledge and its such a shame to see such a great mod go waste

Additional Boat Proposal: Upscale a vessel fit for exploration and colonization.
I guess the gimmicks could be, more cargo, and passengers, at the expense of allocating more resources? ( alot of trees.)
Purpose: To sustain a population at sea for longer voyages, for us players that like to explore and resettle.

That is probably worth reporting to the author of Vehicle Framework; I don't do anything special in this mod, just use the VF basics. There's still a ton of bug fixes going on. Thanks for the report.

Loving the mod so far, but there's a "but" - I had one quest go off without a hitch. After that though, whenever the boat lands after I hit the 'approach the quest' , I get a message that whatever quest I'm doing has failed as soon as I reach it.
Do I need to uninstall this mod and framework before every quest?

I had the same problem as angelbread22 but on a coastal temperate forest. It turned out that to create a ship caravan, I think I had to start the caravan without the crew and cargo being inside it and have them load into it after confirming they were going with a boat. I hope this helps.

Hello! I'm having an issue where it won't let me create a caravan and embark from an atoll or island. ^__^ I asked in island biomes as well, as I have both mods installed.

@Jack that would be the ultimate dream, imagine a mobile colony on a giant ship that you can move

I see so much potential on this mod. If worked the right way, a boat could take the place of your colony

I like that your mod adds a paddle steamer. I feel like Romworld could use more steam age technology options. Now, I apologize for being that annoying guy who asks about potential stuff, but do you have plans for adding armed 1800's ships. Something like a Pre-Dreadnought battleship would certainly be way beyond the scale of a Rimworld colony. But Ironclad river monitors might be more plausible, if you stretch it a bit.

images?

OH MY GOD THANK YOU
I was already prepared to never see this mod on newer versions

I am stretching them in the draw sizes for a few boats I think. I hope to be able to take a pass at this mod soon for an update, life is incredibly busy at the moment.

Textures are incredibly low-res, is this just on my end?

Ah nvm I found the settings lol, my bad

Is there a way to edit the values on the different ships for cargo capacity, speed, etc? Maybe with a mod setting? I know the way they're set currently is for balance purposes but i'd prefer to tweak them from save to save or based on personal preference.

I have a quick question, in my save there's this massive steel deposit i want to reach, can i mine using one of these boats to get that steel? If so which one(s)?

Thanks @Zaljerem I appreciate the quick response and all your work! You're fab!

Sure, the more advanced boats are locked by various research but the Fishing Boat and Rowboat should be available.

Will this work with the neolithic story teller?

I haven't tried the mod yet, but i'm super excited for this. I know there are issues with caravans and the vehicle framework rn but I hope it doesn't effect the development of the mod in the future, i appreciate the effort that goes into this and just wanted to say thanks :)

Hey just want to report the issue that the boat won't leave the map, says can't exit even though (It says wants to leave north and can't bring it more north then possible) I hope you will find a way to resolve this soon as I see some others are also reporting this.

The Framework itself is still under heavy development, I saw on the Discord there should be an update for a lot of the caravan issues soon. Also, river travel will be implemented at some point. Thank you for reporting issues though!

I have the same issue as a few others here. The boat won't leave the map and says they can't exit. On the other vehicles mod it lets you choose a spot for the vehicle to leave when setting up the caravan. Maybe something can be implemented? Unless there is another fix?

Oh, it's a toy boat!

I have the setting enabled for the Fishing Boat (and possibly others) but I don't think that feature is fully implemented in Vehicle Framework yet.

I have Vanilla Fishing Expanded enabled, and my colonists fish from the shore, but they wont fish from the fishing boat

for some reason my pawns wont leave my colony map and enter the world stage when I try and form a vehicle caravan on the boats, any ideas on how to resolve this would be appreciated
