In a storm
Post a comment
Description
A small ship caught in a storm. The port is on the island in the distance, but I can't get to it because the ship will capsize!
AARRGGHH!! The screen looks arrful, but the video works.
Happens to most of Mod DB ATM. Can ships in the mod really capsize?
They certainly can, if you just sit there swaying about for too long...
The best way to avoid capsizing is by pointing the ship's bow into the waves, to reduce the rolling.
What this video also shows is another recent achievement: we've managed to stop the useless spinning in storms!
We added the ability for ships to capsize to make the storms more challenging and interesting and to discourage players from just furling sails and waiting while the ship rides out the storm.
