Random sinking

  • A friend and I were at ruby's fall anchored with 0 holes and standing on our ship. Randomly our ship disappeared. No holes or anything caused it to sink. No animation played or anything. Rare, please fix.

  • gotta pull your anchor and sails up and not crash into islands as parking (if any of these apply)

    in the roar the vibrations might have moved your boat into a "stuck" spot which is may be why it despawned

    Just don't touch land/something in the environment other than sea when parking and you should be alright. The game despawns "stuck" boats.

  • @wolfmanbush Ohh ok our boat was a little stuck so thats probably why. Thanks.

  • Sometimes if you are parked too close to an island and your hull is rubbing against land the game assumes you are stuck and will desync the ship, causing it to suddenly disappear. Are you sure that's not what happened?

    it's happened to a lot of us at one time or another so you aren't alone

  • There should honestly just be a notification when this happens to mitigate confusion.

  • ruby's fall

    Possible you parked to close and the game had to dislodge it.

    Devils roar introduced rowboats, park far off and row over.

  • @xotic8240 can i be a bad commenter for a moment? anchor on devil's deserves an auto-sink

    ok, now seriously, maybe in the action of anchoring, because you came to fast, your ship where to close to the island, and with the earthquake that moves the land, it caused an hole. or a volcano shoot. or a tucker, or a passing ship.

    or you have bugged the ship, if you park really bad, even if you repair the damage, if the ship cannot reach back the water, it despawns like a sink.

    and if you are asking how do i know that, i used to park my ship really, really bad

    Lol I'm pretty sure I've despawned a boat in every possible location at reaper's hideout over the years

  • @wolfmanbush really? hahah. have you ever parked the ship inside the little sea area blocked by the docks on the old golden sands? once i've tried to reach it at max speed, the ship goes on the dock and slide inside the area, the ship was there, blocked. sadly i have not the screenshot anymore. but was epic
