This! lol

I've been hogging the moder ability as much as I could, but when you have to go from west to east, and there's a gigantic (and I mean truly gigantic one) mistlands continent in your way, you can only go either straight towards your goal with frontal wind, or turn around. I would've just killed the boat, and teleported it home, but it was loaded with about 6tons of metal.

At this point, I'm tempted to just base somewhere near the edge of the map, where winds always blow outward the center, and have perfect conditions to sail 100% of the time. Doing a giant circumnavigation will still be faster than trying my luck across the middle sections.
