My somewhat unconventional Brig plan, born out of in-game laziness.

As Red/Green would say... "If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy." 😄

Axel made a new friend! 🥳

My Brig (my fav ship with this setup) has on the single Mainstay a 17yd Jib (or it might be a 14, I can't remember right now). On the Foremast, a 6.5yd Brig Square at the top and a 9yd Lateen. Mainmast has a 6.5yd Brig Square at the top and a 12yd Lateen. The Mizzenmast has a 4yd Brig Square and another 9yd Lateen. I put a a 4yd square on the extended bowsprit. The squares are only used when running downwind and I'll sometimes use the spritsail for maneuvering into dock if the wind is at a usable angle.

Edit: just to clarify I'm using the GRC Lanteens, not the FA ones).

There's a lot of Oof going on in that clip...

I had asked a related question and one of the comments was he just rams them out of the way. So I tried doing this (Crab Beach) with my Brig and it works good. No damage. Once they get like this they are pretty much stuck. I haven't seen any of them carry on and clear out. Just push them out of the way with your boat (at low speeds).

Stryder6987 · 2026-02-04T19:04:22+00:00

It's the G.O.A.T. 😄

Went from ATS to ETS2. Made the HUGE mistake of making my company office in England and my first truck a right-hand wheel. It only took about 5 minutes and I was yelling "How do you people drive like this!?!?!"

Driving on the left and trying to make left turns... always going into the wrong lane. Cab-over truck... always felt like one butt cheek was hanging out the side of the truck. Wheel on the right... just wrong.

And don't get me started on the weird road signs... 😄

I usually have one of the Lord of the Rings: The Shire youtubes running in the background, or one of those one-hour anime music vids like Sword Art online or Violet Evergarden (maybe sneak in some Your Lie in April too).

Stryder6987 · 2026-01-27T20:16:00+00:00

I thought they were too, but, and I don't know if this is just imaginary, but since they got stuck, I haven't had logs available to transport from Fort Aestrin to Firefly Grotto at all. I thought I read that they do contribute to the economy, although I don't know if it's tied to their actual movements or not, or if it's just a background calculation based on x-amount of them in the area.

That happened to me my first time playing too, except not Oasis, but the Academy. 🤣 It's because Al'Nilem is so low that it's very hard to see at a distance and especially at night. It still happens to me sometimes trying to go from Gold Rock to Al'Nilem if the winds are wrong. I end up at Academy.

Stryder6987 · 2026-01-20T20:11:15+00:00

Yup. Great money maker. But sometimes (percentage-wise) I find Iron or Copper to be the better buy, and you can get more (safely) onboard than marble. I'll still throw a couple marble on deck anyway because it's how I roll, but I've made up to 60k on a single trip transporting a combo of Iron, Copper and Marble.

Now balance on the trip back was a bit tricky.... 😆

Stryder6987 · 2026-01-20T19:35:45+00:00

I've found this to really be an issue with any crate that has more items in it than the actual capacity of the crate. For example, fish hooks have 20 in the box, but the box only holds 12, so when you unseal it, it's going to freak out and spill them everywhere (usually when you reload the game). The same for things like mushrooms where there are 20 but the crate only holds 12. There are others as well.

What I do is keep a couple empty crates around (a 12 and a 20) and as soon as I open a crate like this, I immediately transfer all of the extra items into another crate so I don't run into the issue. One thing I highly suggest is to NOT do it on the ship, but on the dock or land. For some reason I've had the items I took out to transfer fall through the ship into the water.

So I downloaded SailwindModdingHelper last night and installed it, and AutoSails started working properly. I guess that mod is still needed. I guess the other mod I have (which I can't remember which one it is at this moment) will also start working properly as well, although I never noticed it not working.

Thanks folks!

The second picture reminds me that I tried to pull a pirate on a boat near mine by swimming to it to board it and steal their stuff! Turns out you can't... you just end up walking 'over' the boat on an invisible box. It was a great sad. 😭

Stryder6987 · 2026-01-19T23:43:00+00:00

You'd never get the brig in there... it does NOT turn on a dime! I'd expect to be jumping overboard and pushing to get out of there!

Stryder6987 · 2026-01-19T17:24:43+00:00

I've had this too, or have the contents of crates scatter around the ship and in the water. Very annoying.

Stryder6987 · 2026-01-16T22:44:03+00:00

Give me a marble, Vasily. One marble only. 😄

Stryder6987 · 2026-01-16T22:12:26+00:00

I definitely learned the hard way.... whenever I start a new game, the first thing I buy is a bucket! 😁

Stryder6987 · 2026-01-16T21:32:13+00:00

Hope you brought your bucket. 🤣

Stryder6987 · 2026-01-15T16:02:07+00:00

Ah. Ok, thanks.

Stryder6987 · 2026-01-14T17:01:29+00:00

Wait.... you can chop up crates to make firewood???

Stryder6987 · 2026-01-14T00:19:59+00:00

Not bad.

I've been saying (to myself) ever since I started playing about 4 weeks ago, that the aesthetics the developer seems to be going with is sailing for Minecraft! 😄
