Boats taking damage.

All our boats are taking damage at sea, on the shore, anywhere. I've made Rafts, Karves, Longboats and they all take a ticking 10 damage. This never used to happen but now it is, the boats all slightly jump up and take a 10 hit, pretty much can't leave a repair area for more than a minute or they go straight down.

I see other people are having this issue, some are not though, has anyone found a fix for this? Hardstuck progression wise without ships here.. I also really don't want to cheat and spawn anything in, that would ruin the game for my friends and I.

I'm 100% certain there is either a rock beneath it or the water isn't deep enough.
The water is not flat nor the same height all the time like you're used to from other games... even at the coastline or at inland seas there a waves depending on the weather, which not only increases the waterlevel for a moment, but decreases it too before the next wave arrives (somewhat similar to reallife).
That's the moment where ships take damage.
Though, either dig deep enough, or build your harbor further into the sea or anker not directly at the coast and swim a bit.

I'm pretty sure strong waves damage your ship, especially if you're going against the current

There is a bug that deals damage to the ships, just restart the server--fixes most bugs in this game (it is in early dev.)

Even deep at sea, the boats take a ticking damage, regardless of waves, calm flat water, steep rolling waves, the boats will take a spam damage of 10's. Will try a server restart, again, who knows.. Kinda land locked.

Not parked over a rock, in very very deep sea, even in the middle of the ocean, boat will take a spam ticking damage until it sinks, usually about a minute or so.

Boat taking damage

Has anyone else been experiencing this bug;

Whenever my group and I sail our ship it takes constant damage as if its been hit by something. For context we are on a dedicated server on Citadel, before moving over to a dedicated server we were playing locally and didn't have this issue. Sailing is currently unplayable, has anyone else experience this issue?

There are worms in the water that hit your boat.

This happens no matter where we sail its 100% not a monster or worms, otherwise it would also occur when playing local.

I've been having the same thing happen on occasion while playing with my friend. Our best guess is that it has something to do with lag, but no solid ideas yet.

It's a bug, everyone else I play with can sail with zero issues, the moment I get on the boat and it start taking continuous damage 10 points at a time, already almost killed me twice. Sucks, everyone else is out sailing meanwhile I have to run/swim everywhere like a pleb.
