Hi folks, as told, a simple tutorial in building boats

1. start with building a simple bottom.

2. add flattened props to fill up the bottom, this will add a good floatable layer to the ship, which will make it less noisy

3. add a keel, use props to lower sudden drifting, again flatten the props by using the 22.845 angle

4. add controls by the means of a flying block, also add another flying block on one side that will counter the automatic rotation

5. beef up the weight of the ballast for additional stability and use a balloon in the top in addition. both the balloon and ballasts might need the Nobounds mod to get it to a nice value

The steps above give the most basic parts of a boat, here are some more general tips on building them better:
- the bigger the floating surface, the better the boat. for instance, using props as 'rows' largely increases surface and thus stability.
- adviced to keep the length of the ship larger than its width, looks and works better
- by placing the mass in the keel deeper from the hull, stability is increased marginally. however, a big mass is still required.
- if the automatic flying block counters the autorotation properly, it might happen that the ship shifts to the left.
- high power balloons require a grabber to prevent them from launching into the stratosphere

well, in the end. the boat is not that much stable. it wiggles still a bit more than the boats used ingame. but thats pretty much where they all started with! so what happens next is up to you!
