Idea: water vehicles

A few days ago i found a large area of water south of map, an thought cool and had an idea, what if we could use jet ski's, surfboards/boats/ships in AW each having different animations, craftable and personal desighn features (Logos etc) we could even have cars that have a feature to hover/ride over water.

The tutorial mentions the idea of boats, but also mentions that there aren't any current plans to implement them. It goes on to say something along the lines of "If you suggest them, maybe we'll make them!" though, and I fully second the suggestion! 8-)

Suggestion regarding water: if going to the water, perhaps create a long-term water related folder.

things i would like (in the future) to be added to water:
  • plants like seaweed
  • clams/pearls
  • fish - from little to big
  • regarding fish - fishable/killable/fish meat. also, some fish that attack, some that don't - varying levels of fish mobs and fish killing drops
  • Make firearms and melee weapons useless in water
  • Bullets shot into the water from the shore inaccurate and dealing 40% dmg of what they normally would
  • new set of knives/daggers/harpoons/firearms that work underwater
  • new gear- snorkel/scuba. flippers that allow faster swimming, suits that allow deeper diving
  • make it so that you have to hold your breath underwater
  • when breath is out, start to lose health, and make healthkits not work in water

i could probably go on, but thats off the top of my head

Some of what you wish for is already true. The last time I was swimming through a river I found that I could not use any weapons or HKs and that my HP steadily reduced while I was under the water. This was at a time when a bug caused me to be stuck to the bottom of the river, so it wasn't very fun! I did discover that as soon as I went from standing to laying down in the water, I could only move around and could do nothing else.

This was a while ago now so it's possible that this is no longer true or was the result of another bug, but it seemed intentional at the time.

Your mentioning of 'sailing' just sparked the idea - currently, (at least in alpha, and here too i think?) the water has no current, so you don't drift anywhere. What if they added current? Wouldn't that be cool? And then, for some locations, traveling by boat would be faster than foot, or by car (if no roads are made to some sea-side "villages"). Besides, I would assume that traveling With the current would make you go faster, and traveling Against the current would make you go slower.

And imagine if there was a river that went in a circle ^_^ not really realistic, but it'd be cool.. haha. jk. but if you add boats, and you add rivers, you then add a method of transportation - and if this method of transportation (for some locations, not all) is faster than other methods of transportation, then Boats Will be used :-)

That's true you can see the water moving on the surface but when you're in the water you stay put except for sinking straight down if you stop moving. It only makes sense that we should be pushed along by the same rate as the water's movement and that some rivers would flow faster than others. Having boats that travel up and down the rivers should definitely be affected by this!
