Jonas Boat

Description

<span style="color: #e03e2d;"><span style="color: #e03e2d; background-color: #f8cac6;">Note that this mod is no longer actively supported, if you're interested in its spirutual succesor I have released a new one that has another Jonas tech boat! in </span><span style="color: #2dc26b;">Pal's Portable Vehicles! </span></span><span style="color: #169179;">I do have exciting big plans and ideas I'd love explore eventually in a "Jonas Boat 2" but at no determinable time as of writing.</span>

This mod adds in a new later game Jonas tech themed paddle boat. Featuring custom sounds, animations, <span style="color: #27ae60;">cruise control</span> and a <span style="color: #7e8c8d;">fog horn</span>. The so called <span style="color: #18a085;">"Rotor Boat"</span> is much faster than the vanilla sailboat, sporting a <span style="color: #2fcc71;">2x</span> speed multiplier opposed to the 1.2x boost the sailboat has. This does however come at the cost of 2 less cargo hold spaces.

When driving you can toggle on the <span style="color: #9b59b6;">cruise control</span> by pressing your sprint key (Ctrl by default), the <span style="color: #e67e23;">fog horn</span> is triggered by pressing your jump key (Space by default). As a note cruise control can also be disabled by pressing the backwards movement key or if no one is present in the drivers seat. Blowing the horn and toggling cruise control both are on short timers to prevent rapid spamming. One last notable perk of the boat is that the cabin shields its occupant from ranged projectiles, such as those from bow torns and the like.

As of version 1.0.2 of the mod, the Jonas Boat now features a new uniqe<span style="color: #3598db;"> Ice Breaking </span>mechanic, allowing it to carve through frozen lakes and even rivers if that mod is loaded.

Similarly to my Craftable Companion mod, Clockmakers get alternative versions of the Rotor Boat Gearbox &amp; Engine recipies, that allow the substition of some of the jonas parts.

The mod features custom components, a full proper boat assembly process, new sounds, all vanilla wood varities of boats, and in game guidebook help pages.
To start constructing a Rotor Boat, you place down the specific iron plated rollers and add the needed components for that step (Make sure they're on your hotbar!) The debarked wood logs used in the second stage will determine the material needed for other parts of the boat and the final resulting wood type.

The full list of resources to make the boat is:

Resource List
<span style="color: #d35400;">10 Rotor Boat Hulls</span>
<span style="color: #2fcc71;">1 Rotor Boat Engine</span>
<span style="color: #2b3e50;">1 Rotor Boat Gearbox</span>
2 Debarked Logs
40 Boards
3 Leaded Windows
1 Chair
2 Roof Ridges
6 Temporal Gears
6 Metal Parts
12 Lead Plates
8 Iron Plates
1 Brass Plate
2 Iron Rods
2 Cupronickel Rods
8 Nails and Strips
4 Large Wooden Gears


If you'd like to configure the speed of the boat user DrKlinger has made a handy config lib patch mod that allows setting the boat speed. (Although beware, setting any boat to very high speeds is likely to work poorly with mounted creatures such as Elks staying onboard.)
