Yea, well our Galleon was anchored off an island - like 50 yards from land and next to a shipyard. We logged out and went to bed. Came back today and the galleon, 60 crew members, and everything was destroyed. This happened right after the patch. The crew log doesn't tell you what destroyed it, just that it was destroyed. SInce it's a PVE server, it could only be a couple of things.....a bug in the patch, or 4 straight hours of tornados in the water. Considering we have sailed through them a dozen times with no issues, i doubt tornados on the shore did it. Yes, it is frustrating to spend all that time building - there is only 2 of us, so you can imagine how much work went into a Galleon with 50 some odd guns and ammo....but, what can you do? The devs don't give a crap and it's not like they are going to give me my shit back....so, just start building again. Gives us something to do.

Look for trees with red patterns on them - look kinda like patterns on a cow. Here is a screenshot of what they look like

I have had a hard time finding Sap also - found plenty of Syrup, but that doesn't work on the fishing pole. Don't need though, as mentioned above - I just jump in the water with my spear and kill fish - too easy. You can also use a bow underwater if you don't want to use a spear/ax/pickaxe
