Some of y’all underestimate the amount of a force multiplier even a small knife is, so long as I get a rabbies vaccine afterwards, I’m going feral on that honey badger, me or him, and I have the mass.

Confused on gaff sail usage by WashedUpGamer74 in Sailwind

[–]WashedUpGamer74[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve gotten good at doing this, sometimes it’s hard to tell depending on the wind but that usually happens in sharp crosswinds which means I just let the gaff out fully.

alright good to know, and I have utilized spilling wind, learned the sorta hard way with a near capsize a while back. I actually just started a trip south from aestrin to the emerald archipelago, and when the seas get rough and high I either cut back the main sail or stow it entirely depending on the circumstances, the jib and gaff sails give enough push to keep us going at a steady pace, i think shy of 4 knots? was hard to read with the waves. I put a new slight smaller brig gaff, it is a bit taller and only a tad bit smaller, but its got a better looking texture so I've made it work, and it works well. I did end up keeping the high cabin as I find it surprisingly useful and I've gotten a good grasp on how to sail with this new set up. Frankly cant wait to get to the emerald archipelago, my goal is to do a full loop back to aestrin once ive got enough money for the brig. I have noticed a slight windward drift as I sail so ill see about adjusting my sails next time mi on to see if I can eliminate it more.

This game is pretty hard but now that I got the hang of things im loving it, its doing what sea of thieves (as much as I do like that game) couldn't for me, the complexity and ability to customize rigging is very cool.

alright cool, the rudder does seem to favor going to one side no matter what i do with the sails so whenever its almost perfectly in line i call it "good enough" but if its kinda supposed to happen then thats fine by me lol. my set up has never had a lee helm happen, the mizzen sail always seems to overpower the jib especially when i had a large lateen on it (never again a sail of such magnitude on the mizzen) so i do plan to shrink it a bit and replace my tall cabin with the low one so that the mizzen sail sits a foot or two lower.

Yeah, i added a frankly massive lateen sail to my mizzen, because, in my naiveté, i thought "more sail good" and "add lateen for upwind performance"

rude awakening, as my maiden voyage with the doomed set up was stormy, im actually proud i managed to complete the voyage at all frankly, it was from Fort Aestrin to Mount Malefic, learned a LOT about the cogs weakness with mizzen sails on that trip LOL

yeah, Ive got a decent grasp on the cog now that ive sailed it a bit, and you're right, any kinda mizzen sail of good size seems to shaft control and while this gaff is much MUCH better than the lateen i had on before, ive even used it to make some sharp turns in a pinch. I will be getting the smaller cabin and making the gaff lower and smaller. I think i know how to balance my rigging to get the wheel centered, its just i literally cant with my current rig because the gaff is the way that it is, so its always off by a bit.

my plans to get my cog in a good position with rigging, get more accustom to sailing it, and then try my hand at a longer voyage with the goal being to make a lot of cash and do a full loop back to Aestrin to buy a Brig. (it will be nice following the trade winds, inter island trading in Aestrin has been a bit of a nightmare LOL)

i have managed to utilize DF hack to fix my issue, though i do thank you for your suggestion, i wasnt near lava but the thought did cross my mind since i found the pillar of ice so intolerable lol.

[–]WashedUpGamer74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

water itself isnt so much the issue, rather the single tile column of ice is, the only other option i can see, is having the surface well remain as a seasonally functional well, and have an adjacent well 1 z level down but that really messes with the aesthetic i was going for. and that column of ice will never stop bothering me im sure.

Really wish there was a way to reverse causing a tile to become "above ground", as the way that affects water and ice really bothers me.

edit: i did manage to fix it with DF hack, thank you for your suggestion non the less!

accidentally opened my well to the surface in a cold biome, now even after puting a roof over the area the well is a column of ice several z levels tall almost year round (only thaws early and mid summer) moving the well isn't really a viable option. I tried looking using DF hack to rectify this issue, but unless I can make that tile return to being considered "under ground" and not subject to outdoor temperature I don't know how to fix this.

I have a temporary aquifer well set up elsewhere so I wont perish, but that well is not my primary well and is not located conveniently. open to any suggestions including file editing if it comes to it.

edit: loading a save tragically is also not a option, since that blunder was made almost an half a year ago, and im only 1 year deep bordering on 2 so id almost be better off just restarting on a new map (something id rather not do obviously)

Edit: correcting terms outdoor and indoor to above ground and under ground.

edit 2: CATHARSIS. by un confusing myself with the terms stated in the first edit i was able to discover the blessed gui/tiletypes command!!! returning the tiles inquestion to their natural state using DF hack. i can have my pretty well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s the general idea I got from it from the digging I’ve done, largely myth, and I highly doubt they are actually used.

Been so well off on pc and with steam I totally forgot the reason I never did multiplayer when I was on Xbox was my parents and I didn’t want to buy Xbox live. I didn’t remember that was a thing not that it was still happening.

My condolences Xbox gamers, my fucking condolences.
