God I know!
Transported two Loxen (one per trip) from the plains to my starter base, got attacked by a serpent each time. Both time the Lox ended up in the sea (got them home eventually but geez, wish you could put them in totally passive mode :) )

There is a work around. You place a loading ramp for your boat. Put a cart on the ramp. Fill the cart. Axe the cart. All the items drop in crates. Push the crates down the ramp onto the boat.

The video is a year old so not sure if they patched this out and I have yet to try it so attempt at your own risk.

Better to just drop a cart over the deck from a ramp, heaps of storage then.

Carts can be loaded onto longships now with minimal risk, same with animals at least in my experience. Your handling sucks, but it works.

The cartcrate option is safer, if a bit more tedious. It does still work as the boat's collision box interacts with the cargo crates, however you still run the risk of destroying the crates with collisions, and then all your non floatable goods become offerings to posideon. I would recommend just trying the cart method first.

ya, im trying not to do my old tried and tested cheeze way, were you log out and then log on to a world you store stuff, then log back into the game run back home, go back to said world and pick the stuff up.

i will prob be doing that for major loads of ore but dont wanna do it for just full backpacks of seeds and trophys lol.

Items dropped while in a ship will sink right through the ship. Thus feeding animals while transporting them is impossible as is transferring items to another player.
