Ships Destroyed
My Long Ship was destroyed while I was off working on another base. It was parked a little way off shore by my main base in the Meadows. I killed a boar twice that swam out to the ship and started attacking it. So, I am guessing it was a boar or a Greyling. That destroyed my long ship off shore. I was gone for quit a few days working on my other base and when I came back all I found of the ship was the wood I had sitting in the cargo hold. I never had this problem until this last update. They made the aggressive creatures attack structures now, if they can’t get to you. But the problem is they attack my ships when I am not around. They want us to use ships to transport metals. But now the ships can’t be left alone without getting attacked. I lost one Longship and a Karve. I think this needs to be changed so the don’t attack the ships without someone in them.

We dismantle our Longship whenever we aren't using it and have a base completed. We put the ship supplies into a chest until it's time to use the ship again. As long as you are the one destroying it, you'll get all the resources for the boat back.
But this new aggressive AI system needs some tweaks for sure. Plus, aside from Necks, the mobs should require stamina to swim for an extended period of time. They shouldn't be able to swim indefinitely and attack the ship at the same time.

To tac on to this; make sure you are standing next to your mast or you risk losing your nails.

I completely agree that creatures that aren't aquatic based need to have stamina drain, but that may make the game far to easy for us savvy builders.
Possible solution to this would be to have perhaps water variants of enemies for later game.
Greydwarf with orange floaties we can pop with arrows anyone? lol
OR (and i will probably get hate for this one) but maybe some enemies that can burrow underneath defences. Not alter the terrain but rather pop out of the ground like a mole rat.
again, later game.
I'd say more flying enemies but we have more than enough hahahaha

You could always try to make something like this, it's a bit overkill but it is very effective, looks great and will probably make something similar every time i make a new world.

Thanks! I didn't know that because we always destroy the ship by whacking at the mast with a weapon.

That dock now also has wooden spiked walls (where i am standing) that go right into the water, i did this by using a raft to raise the ground under the water and place the walls on top. And a secondary moat around that.
Barely anything swims around, they give up.
Oh, also Wards. Ward everything.
