Salem

We really need something like that, as wide parts of the map a seperated by large rivers which needs swimming. So you can`t transport things per sled, or just chop a tree one side and transport it to the other side...(Bridges could be some modificated mine entrances with two exits).

Btw: trees are not respawning, right?

Boats are coming we've been promised. It's quite likely that we'll have manual treeplanting at some point.

Are we talking rafts, rowing boats or merchant vessels which could transport objects?

Boats are all that have been promised. I'd assume there will be multiple types available and that at least one will be able to hold carry-able objects in it.

I don't think the devs are stupid, they have an idea of what we want. Jorb does play this game too I might add.

We need something to get our slide, or trees, or stones, or ore above a river, which has no no-swimming water. So yeah - it needs either a moveable boat able to transport objects. Or something like a fix crossover like a ferry boat or a bridge. I would prefer the last as it needs to be build and puts some infrastructure into Salem.

Bridges are a must have.

I'd be ok with bridges, but how would they influence boat travel? Stop it? Arching bridge? It's a pretty complicated situation.

Good point. So maybe some sort of ferry boat would be better. Just bind together some logs with ropes and you get a raft (with seamanship). You would need to put your slide into the rafts inventory or, at least, the chests in the slide (so you can pick up the slide). Or if you do the bridges like mine entrances with two exits there also wouldn`t be a problem (but it wouldn`t be realistic either).

Build small boat, take containers from sled and put them on the boat, pick up sled, board boat...seems rather easy, no ?

aye sounds good but they should only be accessible at player constructed ferry ports.
