@tidalfurball290 pile the kegs in front of the sloop, and right before hitting the other ship light one and run like hell. Very dangerous but I think it's the only way to make it work.

@cotu42 said in Gunpowder barrel problem:

@glannigan

Actually a galleon is tall enough in comparison to a sloop to get the keg to make contact with the outside of the hull and that is the only requirement to make it blow.

I’ve rammed over a 100 ships with Gun Powder on the tip and not once has ever exploded. So your saying (I sail exclusively Galleon) it doesn’t work cause the ship is too tall? So it’s not hitting the Hull Below deck? That’s why it doesn’t work?

Interesting

That don’t work either.

A Floating” Keg that comes in contact with a ship will explode.

Lighting the Fuse will make it explode. (Back in my day we didn’t have any stinking fuses!)

Shooting it will make it Explode.

Fire 🔥 will make it explode.

Lightning will make it explode.

Not 100% if Blunder Bomb makes it explode...but I’m guessing it does.

Putting it on the Tip and ramming another ship will not make it explode.

Wish it did but it don’t.

@cotu42 wow thanks omg i was so confused

@tidalfurball290

A keg must touch the outside of a ship to explode, if you placed them at the tip of your ship instead of inside it... they would have gone boom.
