A Dugout is a crude water-going craft made from a tree log and, can hold only one person and no cargo. They travel at (roughly walking speed) [Verify] speed in water.
Usage
Dugouts are built by clicking the dugout portrait in the craft menu (B>V>D) and left-clicking a log. The dugout can't be used immediately however, it will appear rugged on the interior. To make the dugout usable you need to burn the interior by lighting it on fire (with a firebrand for instance). It will take 1 in-game hour (approx 20 IRL minutes) for the dugout to burn out and become usable.
To board a Dugout, place the dugout in water then right-click on the boat when it's on a water tile. When you are ready to leave the dugout, you must press Ctrl+left-click in the direction you wish to get out. If you have swimming, be careful you do not select to get out into deep water while swimming is enabled (disabled by default) or you may accidentally drown. Those without the Swimming skill do not need to worry since the game will prevent you from exiting the rowboat into deep water without the skill.
You can fish while sitting in a dugout.
You can use dugout to travel along coast of the ocean, but High Seas will destroy your dugout almost immediately.
Notes
- You can pick up liftable objects while sitting in a boat.
- Dugout speed - (roughly walking speed) [Verify: dugout speed.]
- Boats, just like wagons, can travel freely through claimed areas without the need for criminal action. (Exit the boat with care when doing so.)
- You can harvest the log (for blocks and/or boards) up to 99% before digging it out into a boat.
- Dugouts will be destroyed upon entering the darker, very-deep ocean water. You will be ejected swimming and you will drown and die. Do not ever, under any circumstance short of suicide, take the dugout far out to sea.
- (In some cases cliffs next to water are ignored when jumping back in a dugout parked on the other side.)
