Hi, I’ve been experiencing some creepy stuff in the game recently. I was down in a mineshaft and I heard 5 or 6 explosions that I’m certain were TNT within a period of 3 minutes. Why would this be happening? There’s no sign of explosions and there’s no TNT that I’ve placed myself, it’s just random explosions that sound like they’re right next to my character. If anyone knows anything let me know. Thank you

By the way, I’m on Xbox One if that means anything

Can horses be transported in boats?

I found a horse but it's across an ocean and quite far away. Is it possible to transport horses in boats? I would love to know this before I make another journey back to the horse only to have it be a bust when I get to the beach.

I did manage to jump into a mine cart with a donkey, but not sure if donkey and horse share the same size. Not to mention the mine cart might hold larger items than boats do.

Does Killing villagers still have a negative impact on breeding?

I was under the impression they used to but seem to have no effect now.

Here is my first build of this scale, a Hail Storm class heavy destroyer, the HMS Undaunted; her armament includes 10 total TNT cannons, four main guns, three Scatter-guns on each side, and a total of 12 light cannons. The main turrets have a 100+ block effective range, and the port and starboard scatter-guns have a 34 block effective range. She is a whopping 115 blocks long from stem to stern, 29 blocks at her widest, and 53 blocks tall from the keel to the top of the mast.


Here is my second build of this size, the Thunderhead class light carrier. The one on the left is Variant 1, HMS Harbinger, and the one on the right is the HMS Surinam. The harbinger's specs are as follows. She is a full ten blocks longer than the Undaunted at 121 blocks long, she is 36 blocks tall from her keel to the top of the radio antenna, and she is 32 blocks wide at the widest. She was based on the Japanese carrier Kaga in WW II and was designed to be more sleek and aerodynamic than the Undaunted. As carrier support is key to any naval battle, whether air or sea, she has 14 total light cannons and 2 scatter-guns at the base of the towers to defend herself if necessary. This variant of the Thunderhead class light carrier can carry up to 3 light attack gunboats. My other variant can carry 4 light attack gunboats. In the picture you see both variants of the Thunderhead class.




Here is my dreadnought class light attack ship, christened, the HMS Stratica. These models should have been retired long ago but for some reason they just keep cropping up. These old ships are built sturdy and made to last long years without service overhauls, making them especially popular with mercenaries and pirates. Their only downside is that they have a weak spot, just between the gas cells in the stern. One clean shot and it disables the boiler, crippling the ship. Other than that one weak spot, they can take quite a beating, and they can dish one out too. Having 5 light turrets on the upper deck, and one double turret for the belly gun. The main weapon; however, might be the reason they are still in service. They have quite a scatter-gun mounted on the bow. After the first one was commissioned the gun/ship combo could never quite be repeated. Anyway, here is the tour, starting with the outside as usual.


This makes for my biggest build so far, the Great City-ship Icarus. She is around 500 blocks long and 200 blocks wide at the midsection, and around 150 blocks tall. The only one of her kind, commissioned as a free city-state, separate from national boundaries, able to travel anywhere throughout the globe. Upon her christening people will flock to her for a new life among the clouds their only obligation being to travel the world and care for their beloved city. She is about 70% complete, so don't get too exited for launch.



Here is the Pirate vessel Chimera. Built in secret at the navy bone-yard in New Brummel by a band of foolhardy bandits, this vessel packs a surprising punch. With four single light cannons on the deck two double light cannons on the deck, two double light cannons on her belly and the most powerful gun on the ship being a stripped down destroyer turret right on her bow. These pirates either new what they were doing or they were just plain lucky the ship didn't fall apart from under their heels during takeoff. According to eyewitness accounts the ship lifted off from the bone-yard and outran the navy warships sent after her. Probably according to the battleship turbine strapped to her stern...



Now for something a little bit different, a civilian cargo freighter, the R-37 Air-train. Air-trains are named by taking the name of the engine, in this case the Argon Mist, and attaching the number of "cars" they pull to the name. Making this particular air-train the Argon Mist 3. Here are the specs on the ship, the engine is 28 blocks long, 22 blocks wide, and 15 blocks high. This engine has two boilers and four engine pods; however, their are other engines with as many as four boilers and eight total engine pods. Now the cars are standard from train to train at 33 blocks long, 13 blocks wide, and 12 blocks high. Each car can carry up to four cargo pallets with 60 crates each. That's enough technical jargon for now so here is the Argon Mist 3.





Here is my new line of private ships based on the ships from Guns of Icarus online. They are located around the Icarus in my world download.


Hope you enjoyed seeing my ships. Comments and feedback are always welcome.
