Needs Fixed

I have over 1,500 hours between both profiles. It is my favorite game, but then after a 2 hour iron run we get back to docks and we try to throw the iron from the boat to the dock (just as dropping something on the ground for a friend in a lifted fort) but no. The Iron didnt toss and goes through our feet through the boat into deep water through another wooden floor and is at the bottom of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ocean... after all these hours (and we are vikings FFS and we are apparently still afraid of water apparently) and no jumping and diving and glitching will get me back those now 3 hours. #justmakeshitfloot

Fall-through-boat is a recent change, apparently.

Although OP can fix this themselves by dumping into a chest on the dock. Throwing it was never the answer.

Yeah it doesn't need to be fixed unfortunately. If you take the time to think about the implications that would be caused if items didn't fall through the boat than there wouldn't be much point to having storage or having a bigger boat as you could just transport unlimited amounts of ore/items by just throwing onto your boat.

It is surprising your only learning this now after 1500 hours but I'm sure there might be some innocuous thing I haven't bothered to learn

I'll admit I will sometimes have a hard time getting ore off my ships, in terms of building a dock, that the stuff won't just fall through. AFAIK only way to avoid it is to terraform a platform out of actual ground. Or shallow water below the ship/boat so you will be able to pick it up again. But it can be a hassle to land so that you can easily access f.e. a chest on the docks...

1500 hours and doesn't know how to toss stuff, properly unload a ship or how to terraform to get stuff back from underwater...

why is your boat dock not secured for stuff falling off? my docks are all above very shallow water with next to no wave generation during storms. so even if something drowned i can just jump in and grab it this way. never toss stuff that can sink to begin with. i stuff it from boat into ventory and overweight walk to cart and drive to over to the smelters.

activate devcommands and debugmode in console and hit Z (default) to fly. Hover over the spot where the iron went down, and press CTRL to lower your character all the way to the ocean floor, (without de-activating fly mode) and should be able to pick up anything that sinks in the ocean that way.

Keep in mind that while your character can physically go down there, the camera won't follow below the surface of the water.

ehehe it happened to some of more experienced players too.
Don't worry. If it is not too deep you can build a high structure close to the shore and try to jump from it. The higher you climb the deeper you will go when jump. We managed to retrieve dropped resources from really deep areas.
