Features in detail:

Water:
Global water level. All dynamic blocks have bouyancy and drag calculated.
Character can swim (and drown) in water

Planet changes:
Not required but highly recommended to start in a new empty world (no wonders)

Sails:
There are many sizes and types of sails available. Wind direction changes over time and can be seen using the wind vane or by looking at the sails.
You have Square sails that work well when the wind is in your back and Lateen (triangle) sails that work well when the wind is at your side or going partialy into the wind.

Tide system:
The water level changes over time (default 2m change over 1.5h) and can be fully customized using chat commands.
do /help tide to see the commands. Creative tools must be enabled to use the commands.

Rudder:
This is a block with a more advanced drag simulation. The result is that you can use it for steering your boat, or as a keel to keep your boat more stable. And a lot of other stuff, like paddle wheel boats, or hydrofoil boats.

Rope ladders:
You can climb these ladders, up or down. When you let go you can choose to jump left, right or forward. Great for climbing your mast.

Whales:
These will spawn now and then in deep waters. If you manage to kill one the bounty will be great.
Dead whales must be "harvested" with the hammer.

Fishing:
The fishing net can be dragged through the water to catch fish. What you catch depends on your latitude, water depth and the depth of your net. Current list of catchable fish and creatures (to be extended):
Marlin, Tuna, Salmon, Snook, Sardines, Jewfish, Crab, Kingcrab, Lobster

Anchor:
This block can be used to secure your ship. Both from moving and from other people picking up your blocks.


Mod Performance:

While the mod looks very heavy on performance, it is really not. The main impact will be from the increased usage of dynamic grids. But don't worry, grids in the water will go in a 'sleep' mode when not in use and have little impact on performance. You can have 100's of large ships in the water and still have full simspeed. Your fps in this case is another story...

World map problems:
If your world map is not correct, you can remove this folder: AppData\Roaming\MedievalEngineers\Map
