PeterWolfs Boats & Ships

1.0.18

Watermen

• Operators can send nearby watermen home with /pwboats send-home [radius] (default 64, max 512). Those with a port sail or walk back; the rest start searching for a settlement, bed or shore.
• Send-home now breaks atoll circling: the hull first leaves the lagoon on a radial heading, ignores traffic dances, and only then sails to the remembered waterside berth. The atoll itself is never adopted as home.
• Recalled hulls no longer freeze: missing home water no longer cancels the helm, and a jammed ship picks an open heading or a short reverse instead of sitting still.
• After reaching the home pier, watermen stop the hull and disembark instead of keeping the helm.

1.0.17

Watermen

• Collision avoidance now starts much earlier: the helmsman turns onto a nearby dodge point instead of slightly nudging a distant waypoint.
• Starboard tack (wind on the right rail, taken from vanilla cloud drift to the east) has right of way; port tack, overtaking and windward boats keep clear.
• Reverse to break a jam lasts three times longer.
• Trade berths ring the whole atoll (24 headings × 4 radii) instead of a short arc on the port-facing side.

1.0.16

Watermen

• Autopilot now yields to and overtakes other watercraft instead of driving into them at busy atolls.
• If hulls already lock together, the helmsman uses reverse and turns away until the jam breaks.
• Atoll trade berths are spread around the lagoon so several watermen no longer aim at the same point.

Shore hamlets

• Hut beds are no longer overwritten by barrels: the barrel sits on the opposite wall so both bed halves stay intact.

1.0.15

Shore hamlets

• Removed the decorative stairs that sat in the hut doorway and blocked watermen from leaving.
• Watermen can open bamboo doors again (including while fishing or sailing), and they spawn just inside a cleared doorway.

1.0.14

Shore hamlets

• Waterman settlements now sit at the waterline instead of on a raised bank: hut floors, the terrace and the pier match the water surface.
