You can form a caravan with it like if it were a pack animal, or you can select a pawn (or group of pawns), right click the boat, and click on "Board"

Are you unable to sail on rivers? There's a large river (around 40-50 blocks wide) that leads to a couple of settlements and for some reason, whenever I try to select a route for my caravan, it cannot navigate it.

Not yet, it's what I'm working on right now (and what's also holding up the next update).

Hi. Great great work. I was wondering, currently when my boat caravan has an encounter like attacking a coastal town or visiting a refugee on the coastline, I cannot move my boats off thr edge of the map and escape the scene like with normal pawns. Is this a bug or or simply a missing feature? Or am I doing it wrong :P?

How do I make my boat usable? I just built a caravel and i'm not getting any options.

Are they stuck on the edge of the map?

Did you build it in god mode? It's not a building. It's a pawn. You can build it (not in god mode) or spawn it as a pawn.

Thanks

I send them drafted to the edge of the map (like with regular pawns), and then they just bump into the edge and nothing happens.

edit: Possibly good to mention, this happens when attacking a 'pristine ruins' base that's part of another mod.

Ah yea that’s because Real Ruins forces you to leave by going to the edge of the map. I’ll be fixing boats to leave when near the edge next update. You can fix this though by going into the settings and turning that off, allowing you to reform the caravan from the world. But thanks for bringing that up, it’s definitely something I’ll be fixing. Boats are too big to fit in the edge squares

And when I say settings I mean real ruins settings. It’s initially set to only allow you to leave by exiting directly through the edge. He did it as a balance measure. The more you stay, the more pirates show up. Rather than gathering all items in the base automaticallywhen you reform caravan

Ah alright. Thanks mate. And again, great stuff.

Cant reform the caravan cause a badass raid came along, so Ill ditch the boats and have crew start s new base, build new boats and sail back across the sea. It's gonna be a grand adventure:)

I had an incident where the boat got destroyed (sunk) but I repaired it. Is there anyway I can rename it, since it reset to the default name "Caravel" after I repaired it, but I originally named it the "RNN 'Corn'".

I can't seem to form a caravan even from my colony when all my pawns are on a ship, how do i do it?

Yes there’s a rename button in the cargo tab. Top right
