About RockTheBoat

From Thunderstore

Tinker your ship. Nothing serious but QoL.

Rock the Boat

Tinker your ship. Camera distance, explore radius, various damage multipliers, ship size, speed, container size.

Features

  • Change max camera distance for boat
  • Increase max camera distance to boat mode for anyone on board. No more staring into sail for sitters.
  • Increase explore radius by multiplier (works if you are just touching the boat, no need to sit or sail)
  • Prevent drowning while near the boat
  • Remove ship with hammer like good old times (disabled by default)
  • Reduced damage to players on boat
  • Reduced damage to boat when no one are on board
  • Sailing and steering force multipliers
  • Rowing support, other players sat on a boat will benefit in steering and paddling force
  • Configuration is server-synced
  • NITRO

You can press Run button (LeftShift by default) to increase steering force while spending stamina. More time you "run" more speed you get.

Installation (manual)

Known issues

  • Mod should be compatible with ValheimRaft and any other mod changing boat behavior.
