Can you move it or does it bounce while you're trying to sail with it

i had this problem too. Everytime I "parked" the karve it bobs up and down with the waves then every ~20 seconds it makes a crash sound and takes 10 damage. Tried this at multiple depths with the same results. Only way to get it to stop was to slightly beach it.

Maybe try to launch the game again or if you're playing on server make the server restart, or have you tried this solution yet?

this is happening to me too. Longboats, Carves and rafts, I've tried all the boats I have unlocked and they all bounce and take 10 damage, can't leave a repair area for more than 2 minutes without them sinking, any fix yet?

Havent found one. They take constant damage of 10 while on it and no damge while off but bounce around like its taking damage

Issue is it does it to me even while sailing

Doesn’t happen in a river not for me anyway, build a new one if it happens when sailing must be bugged from when you built it

It happens everywhere. Ive built 3 now and the same thing as soon as i climb aboard it takes random damage. WHen im not on it, it shoots up and smashs into the water

I build mine so they instantly beach and push them into water when ready
Have never had issues with the game breaking boat outside of troll throwing boulder when i used the small waterways

Yeah I've tried that as well, it always seems to be beaching even in deep water

its a bug, I ran the boat aground and stopped the damage

How close it is to the shore, it might be that waves are going up and down that much that it hits the ground. If it is happening while sailing then I have no idea, we have noticed that ships takes random damage sometimes while sailing even when there is nothing below or in front of us.

yeah water is deep enough it shouldnt be hitting but ill check

I think its trapped in the loop from when it drops from being crafted. It takes damage no matter what

This may be one of those Unity things where old versions of game objects have been saved. Try putting all the ingredients in a box and making a new hammer?

As an aside, the longship is not a straight upgrade/replacement for the karve. It's much less nimble, easier to beach and a lot more painful to lose when the nails sink. Not recommended for exploring coasts and rivers.

Make more iron nails and make a long boat. Ancient bark and fine wood for that.

I assume you have killed a deer before?

I mean if you are finishing up prep for Bonemass then you should have had a longboat by now... why even bother with the karve?

I exited, reloaded, and got my recipes. Right off the docks, I found 6 leviathans also! So maybe it was for good luck?

Nice. All's well that ends well.

Heh, no recipe for that either. Will try to jiggle the handle some more.

I keep a small chest by my dock that's labeled "Karve" and has nails, deer hide, resin, and fine wood. So if I'm going somewhere that I need the big boat I'll sail there, but if I just need a karve I'll grab the contents of that box, head through a portal or jump to another server, and then build the karve on site. When I'm done I just stand on the mast and hack it with an axe to get all the parts back and put them away again.

There must be something wrong with my save. I had my cultivator in a chest along with all the other tools I am not currently using. When I took it from the chest, I got a turnip recipe. I already have turnip seeds. I just have not planted them yet. I am just going to have to grab things from chests and see what comes up.

That is normal for the cultivator. You won't see the planting ability unless you have the cultivator on your person. Same thing will happen for planting the carrots for seed plants. Just having the carrot will open up the cooking stuff for it but you need the cultivator for the new plant.

I know it seems silly, but are you looking under the right crafting tab? Boats are under "misc." and it's easy to miss them sometimes. Only other thing I could think of is that maybe you don't have a crafting table within range to place the boat in the water?

Hope it all works out for you! :)
