Boat Building Plan

You craft this when the plan is to leave land behind. It works like the regular building plan, only for hulls: equip it, RMB, pick the piece. Everything starts at a boat building station that you float on the water first. The station gives you a steady spot to build on and a place to come back to when the boat needs changes.

The plan only gives you the wooden shell. Movement comes from separate parts. A sail is slow but needs no fuel, a small boat engine is faster and runs on low grade, and their own descriptions say more of either means more speed. Without a steering wheel you are not pointing it anywhere, and that one can be locked.

The usual story: your group lives on the coast, the Oil Rig or an island monument sits out there, and the rowboat on the beach keeps getting stolen. A boat you built yourself is bigger, has room for boxes and belongs to you. Just remember the research costs 30 scrap here, three times the land plan, so grab it once someone is really going to sail.
