Boats and dry docking

On board#

Boat controls handle forward/backward movement, turns, stopping and anchor changes through the tiller’s speech commands. A lowered anchor prevents sailing. The owner controls the boat’s name.

Dropping a map on the tillerman while aboard supports the navigation system. Ownership, keys and boarding are separate from selecting a route. Boat placement is enabled, but usable water and available launch sites depend on the current map.

Dry dock checklist#

• Be alive and stand off the boat; double-click its tillerman to begin dry docking.
• Carry a matching boat key in your backpack.
• Lower the anchor.
• Empty the hold and clear items from the deck.
• Move all characters and creatures off the boat.
• Review and accept the docking confirmation; the conditions are checked again.

World availability#

The source supports boats, but it does not establish a live boat seller or an available berth at a specific town. Inspect the in-game boat and local water before committing supplies.
