Migolcow 30 Posted January 6, 2019 The above scenario happened to us yesterday. We were going along a coast, looking for a treasure map location, when suddenly we were overweight and sinking. Panic'd a bit, made sure all the ladders were up, scoured the ship for an enemy boarder, couldn't figure out what the hell was going on. Then we noticed a seagull take off, and we were fine again. Waited a bit and it landed, and we were overweight again... A 0.5 lb bird puts us over the limit? Please fix XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The developers need to remove a good feature because you decide you need to sail with so little spare weight??? And you point your finger at the dev's and not yourself???

TrevorJD 117 Posted January 6, 2019 You're both right. On one hand, ships shouldn't be overloaded so much. OTOH it's patently absurd that a 1/2 lb. bird should be the difference between sinking and not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree that input hoppers of machines should be pin coded as the sink a ship via piling weight onto it is very much an exploit in my opinion! However if your dumb enough to sail around with so much weight a seagull can put you over then you got whats coming too you!!!

Migolcow 30 Posted January 6, 2019 It's not actually the weight but the personnel limit, IE we're at the limit of characters with us and our npc crew. The seagull "counts" as crew apparently Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The seagull "counts" as crew apparently okay that's definately the part that's dumb, if true. A seagull should not count as crew. No wild creature should. This is *hopefully* just a coding oversight, not intended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dinenon 7 Posted January 6, 2019 Can confirm it is the seagull counting as crew that is the issue, as I had the same scenario happen a few times yesterday. Ship was at under half weight capacity, but my sloop had me and an NPC crew. 2 Seagulls "landed" (more like trying to fly down through my ship), and suddenly I'm sinking lol. A couple shots with the trusty blunderbuss corrected that nicely though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightstrasza 137 Posted January 6, 2019 They should just remove crew limit and make so ppl weight 60-70 kg, solved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
