Now, we must find all practical ways we can use boats. Some obvious one include:
1) Exploration
2) Faster travel, cheaper than Minecarts.

4) Wooden Warships of doom!
And now some things that need to be researched:
1) 2-3 deep aqueducts that flow water quickly. Boats go very fast (possibly comparable to pig with saddle on ice.)
2) Boats float up when placed in water quickly. Elevator anyone (Solved!) Now we need to improve on the design!
3) using flow manipulation, could a aqueduct + dock be made where crashing boats is very hard/impossible?

here's a stable dock design:
Make sure you enter straight, or else you'll spin around unpredictably.
If the boat is completely still, you don't need to do the space+arrow manuever. Just don't move, click on the boat to get off, and jump.
Rode off waterfall, the top of the fall launched me past the waterfall so i landed 4-5 spaces away from bottom of fall on dirt, took NO damage from the fall onto dirt, but boat broke :sad.gif:
Matt, seriously, stop trolling. So can you please shut the **** up and go troll the infdev forums about how much you want to get 10 bucks from your hobo house?
water elevator works GREAT , from 4 to 70 in 5 6~8 sec ! (height , 0 = start of the void)
just make sure to watch out for ledges.
EDIT:
also to be noted , the boats DO NOT BREAK if touched from above , from the sides and bottom it does break , so going up a waterfall/waterelevator is a good investment if you have a good treefarm :tongue.gif:
and if the boat break you get 3 wood back so i think it is worth it using it frequently 8D
I'm sure these boats are just something he quickly threw together so that we could have some sea transportation. Boats will likely be improved upon in the future.
Actually that would be really cool if it was just an upgrade based thing, where it had more health depending on how many times you've upgraded it, and it could be something like you have to get the weakest boat first, then you would upgrade it to iron with

( being the boat)
(also yeah that's the same thing Samohan said)
Which would give it an extra like 3 hits before it just explodes
Then you would take that boat and put it into another recipe like

(With being the improved boat)
And then it would have a few more extra hits before it explodes
Maybe once it's lost a certain number of hits it could have the diamond or iron shell break off of the original wooden boat thing
god i want cannons... anchors would be pretty cool too, since it'a a bit annoying to get out of a boat and not have it still move. cannons speak for themselves, honestly. there's just not much i can say.

and what if you drive you boat while holding a couple of arrows??

Nice to see that there is already a formal method of Grav Lifts with boats to move Z levels. They seem to be efficient for exploration and quick transport to the surface. I need to make my own and test them myself :biggrin.gif:
now if we had boats like that, then i'd live a life at sea! even more so if they had interior rooms that you could place stuff in, same with the deck but with limits.

First one to ride a boat off a waterfall gets a cookie

No lie, check them yourself
edit: btw, if the boat touches you, it explodes.
You forgot warships for when SMP comes out...
boats... I'm going to research into how to make effecient aqua transport in my base... possibly to distract me from finishing my 5 x 5 pixel display.

But pretty lame if the health reached zero and just asploded into a bunch of blocks.
