Showing off rafting mechanics. Did an overhaul on my raft design. Movement is based on sail direction. This can lead to some interesting design choices. You can build shelters and rooms on rafts as well.

changedShowing off rafting mechanics. Did an overhaul on my raft design. Movement is based on sail direction. This can lead to some interesting design choices. You can build shelters and rooms on rafts as well. I can see players building massive rafts like moving islands. Which is fine. We gotta be different somehow.
addedYou can have forward sails and back sails for reversing. Each sail adds +3 directional power up to a max of 20. And each piece you add on your raft will subtract .1 directional power. More pieces/weight you add to your raft. More power/sails you need. Numbers are just my starting point. Will adjust as we test. Can design rafts for hauling, living, or pure speed and maneuvering. Different sails and rudders will add different strength for turning and power.
