We need ways to get our ship out if stuck.

  • I have rarely beached my ship, but when it has happened there have been times where I would just have to wait until it despawns as the harpoons won’t attach to anything when beached. A keg comes in handy but we don’t always have kegs around.

    The game already detects when a ship is stuck because it begins a despawn timer, instead of that timer, why not just nudge the ship towards the closest point of the sea? Or allow harpoons to work while beached. Either way, something needs to be added to aid in this situation.

  • Where in SoT do people get stuck. What are you doing to get stuck.

  • @BurnBacon That is a very good question. To partly answer your question, I've seen people stuck in dagger tooth for HG but that's about it.

  • @sharkfire75

    Well with that, I see that as on purpose. But OP seems to imply there are places one gets stuck by accident. "Ship getting beached"

  • I find myself reversing with the harpoons  😂 Not that I ever get stuck... obviously!

  • I got stuck recently during solo hourglass. Sail half raised, wheel turned, I shot off for a board leaving my ship safe (or so I thought).

    I killed the enemy pirate, set fire to their ship, grubs on the stove, everything I could to damage the ship. Given the recent blunderbuss knockback I was still not as confident that I could avoid getting knocked overboard, so I kept the ship anchored and relied on fire to slowly sink the ship. Eventually, I won.

    When I got back to my own ship via mermaid, it was in the middle of one of the smaller islands (sandy shallows I think, the one that looks like an ear). So it was JUST in water and would not despawn. I could not move it using sails, and the harpoons would only grab on briefly until it was fully on land, harpoon would detach, and I’d slide back down into the middle. All of this happening whilst I’m aware hourglass is active and I may get invaded.

    No kegs, so that wasn’t an option to nudge me out. I did eventually manage to escape however as 2 red ocean crawlers spawned! I lured them to the side of my ship and eventually they ground-pounded me free! It was pretty interesting, frustrating, intense.

  • Got a brig stuck on one of the big islands in the roar once. It despawned before the volcano went off lol.
