So, you have a "guide" built into the map? Interesting, how does that work! Will you write about it, or will you tell me? Although, in the first case, I might have to make some adjustments, considering the specifics of Nero.
How to build a ship?


There are many different ship designs, from goblin swimming trunks to the Kre'ath armored ships that helped them so much in the last war against the Kro. We will not describe all existing technologies here, but only one. It will be useful for those who suddenly find themselves on a deserted island, far from civilization and sea trade routes.
Usually, those on a deserted island do not have the opportunity to create a sealed ship with a large displacement, so a raft is the ideal option for you. First of all, you need to choose the wood. The main criteria for wood when building a raft are its density and susceptibility to moisture. The density of wood in Nero, with the exception of some rare species (such as stone oak and stone persimmon), is lower than the density of water, which allows all of them to be used to build a raft. However, you need to understand that a good raft must be able to support its passengers and not sink (even if it sinks not completely, but by two-thirds, this can become a problem when crossing the ocean). Therefore, you need specific density values for the trees (you can find information about many of them in this book, in the appendix). Based on them, you need to calculate how much load the raft should withstand, and then multiply this by at least three. Then you can determine the mass and volume of wood that will be used to create the raft.
Susceptibility to moisture is also important when choosing wood. If a tree is able to absorb a large amount of water, its density may increase rapidly during a sea voyage, which will lead to flooding. The ideal wood for this criterion is stone oak and stone persimmon. To check the susceptibility of a tree to moisture, you need to keep it in water for a long time, and then compare its mass with the mass of a dry tree of the same size.
Now that you have chosen the wood, you need to start building the raft. For sea voyages, your raft should be stable, so instead of the classic shape (logs tied together in a rectangle), we recommend a pyramid. Ideally, place a chair made of wood of the same type on top of the pyramid, but this is optional. In some cases, the shape can be changed if it is not very suitable due to the special density of the wood.
The raft needs a means of propulsion. In most cases, these are oars (the criteria for the wood for oars are the same as for the wood for the raft), and sometimes a mast (if there is a large enough piece of fabric for it). It is important that in the latter case, the raft loses some of its stability, but gains the ability to move stably.
The guide team sincerely hopes that you will not leave this world while trying to leave the island and wishes you a happy journey! But if you don't succeed, don't be upset: according to our statistics, about two thousand humanoids also didn't succeed!
