🌊 Quad's Jet Skis

Jet ski (jetski) for a rider and a passenger: a fast motorboat pushed by a surtling core, not the wind. Steer it like a speedboat with WASD; saddlebag storage, paint colours, engine sound and spray. Built with the hammer, like the raft.

✨ Features

A jet ski for Valheim: a fast little boat for one (and a friend), pushed along by a surtling core's fire instead of the wind.

Riding it

• Build it with the hammer on the water, near a workbench, like the raft: 12 Fine Wood, 30 Bronze Nails, 2 Surtling Cores and 4 Deer Hide.
• Press E on its handlebars from the water or the shore and you climb onto the saddle and take them.
• Hold W to go, Shift+W for full speed, S to back up; let go and it coasts to a stop. The wind doesn't matter.
• A and D steer: the handlebars turn and come back to the middle by themselves. It turns slower when barely moving, and stays level in a hard turn.
• Jump to get off.
• Leave it at the shore: with nobody aboard it stays where you left it, and the waves don't wear it down.
• You ride it like a jet ski: leaning over the bars, hands on the grips, feet on the pads, your head turning where you steer, bobbing over the waves. Everyone sees it.
• A gauge at the bottom right shows your speed and throttle, in place of the boat's wheel in the middle of the screen.
• Running into a friend at speed doesn't hurt them, and hopping waves barely scratches the hull.

Room for two, and their things

• A passenger seat behind the rider (E on the back of the saddle): the passenger holds on round the rider's waist.
• Saddlebags on the back corners hold 8 stacks: E on them, or Tab while riding. If the jet ski breaks, what's in them floats away in a cargo crate, as from a Karve.

The look and the sound

• A dark wooden hull with a band of red-stained wood and bronze rivets, a rub rail, a round shield on each side, a curled prow like a longship's, a leather saddle, a cowl up to iron handlebars, and a surtling core in an iron cage feeding the jet nozzle.
• Paint it: E on the cowl in front of the handlebars gives the next colour (red, blue, green, teal, purple, black, bare wood). Everyone sees it.
• An engine that burbles at idle and screams at full speed, spray thrown up behind it and off the side in hard turns, and a core that glows brighter (and lights the water further) as you open the throttle.
• It is the game's raft underneath, so it floats, wears, breaks, saves and changes hands in multiplayer as the game's boats do.

Everyone in the world needs it installed.

<!-- HAND-WRITTEN: screenshots --> Full speed along the shore: hands on the grips, spray off the nozzle

From the side at dusk: the painted band's bronze rivets, a round shield, the saddle and the caged surtling core

From behind: the core glowing in its cage and the jet's spray on the water

Stopped on a misty morning: the curled prow, the painted cowl and the iron handlebars
