Patch Summary

Official rust patch (26.02.05) — updates to PLAYER MADE BOATS, NEW BOAT DEPLOYABLES.

What's New

[PLAYER MADE BOATS] Player-made boats are here, providing a new way to explore the seas, including the Deep Sea!
[PLAYER MADE BOATS] Place the new Boat Building Station deployable in the water and get building with your shipmates! Use the new Boat Building Plan to construct your dream boat, utilising a new set of boat-specific building blocks.
[PLAYER MADE BOATS] Add a steering wheel, anchor, sails, engines, planks, ramps and cannons to complete your vessel and head off into the Deep Sea!
[PLAYER MADE BOATS] Careful consideration and placement of your engines and sails is important if you want a seaworthy ship, as they will affect its handling and speed. Sails and engines can both be reversed using the radial menu options for some nifty reverse parking.
[PLAYER MADE BOATS] Be sure to set a lock code on your steering wheel to stop unwanted access or theft of your shiny new boat.
[PLAYER MADE BOATS] Regular deployables can be placed on your boats. If they work on the Tugboat, they'll work here too.
[PLAYER MADE BOATS] Need to make a change after realising your boat just goes in circles? Use the Deploy & Edit mode (not available in the Deep Sea) to quickly and easily deploy a Boat Building Station around your boat.
[PLAYER MADE BOATS] Have fun building and exploring the seas!
[NEW BOAT DEPLOYABLES] To get your vessel sea worthy, we've now got some new deployables - specifically for your boat!
[NEW BOAT DEPLOYABLES] Boat Building Station: The boat-building station is placeable in deep water, it's used to build and edit your boat.
[NEW BOAT DEPLOYABLES] Building plan: The boat-building plan is similar to the building planner you know and love, but for boats.
[NEW BOAT DEPLOYABLES] Sails: A sheet of toughened fabric rigged to catch the wind and help propel the boat forwards.
