Captaincy as a system is a great foundation for other ship-based updates, but we haven't gotten any real meaningful expansions besides more trinkets. I have put together a new system allowing you to switch all those pointless barrels for new furniture and customize already existing parts of the ship. please enjoy!
New Furniture system
functional pieces of furniture could replace empty areas and useless barrels. nothing that obstructs movement too much of course.
the captain's voyage shelf can also be replaced with one of these features. Rugs can also be added to the floor across more parts of the ship.
(It's important to note that if any holes appear behind the feature, the feature will enter a damaged state, allowing access to the hole. when the hole is fixed, after a short delay the feature repairs itself)
some ideas
- Hammock
- Bookshelf
- Chair
- Functional Polyphon (Giant music box-Plays shanties)
- Drum Kit
- THE CAPTAINCY PIANO!!!
- Stone fireplace (not really realistic but would be pretty cool)
- Grandfather Clock
The Dresser
For a large number of coins, you can buy an upgraded supply chest that functions as a clothing, vanity, equipment and armory chest, further optimizing your ships' room for more furniture. also outfit presets. it's like the next stage of captaincy.
Customizing functionality existing ship items
Tired of parts of your ship having the same functionality? now you can dump gold into basically pointless sidegrades that have very niche usages.
You can now change what beverage the Ship's Grog barrel dispenses and add an additional barrel below it.
- Grog
- Chef's Grog
- Near Grog
- Tea
- Coffee
You can now purchase 3 separate sidegrades for the map table, all equipable at the same time and each switched to by interacting with the map table.
- The table is switched to "meeting mode" with stools being pulled from under the table for shared meals and meetings
- The table is switched to "Game mode", where players can play all sorts of fun games (sold separately)
- The table is switched to "Plotting table mode" where you get small ship models to move around to plan your conquest.
The Bed
there is a large chunk of unutilized space between the sloop's bed and where the captain's table is. I propose the rectangle of uselessness becomes another thing that can be upgraded moving the bed from the floor to inside this wall, and possibly even a bunk above it. The area where the bed used to be now has room for furniture.
a working curtain can be bought to separate the bed from the rest of the ship not just in the sloop but all ships, although this curtain is intangible and can be passed right through.
The Bell
The bell now has a few sidegrades- it can become a sea fort grade bell, or a caged chicken that can squawk on command and also every morning.
For smaller ships, you can also purchase a stool to be tucked under the captain's table, to be pulled out whenever needed.
