JonasBoat_1.0.1.zip

This mod adds in a new later game Jonas tech themed paddle boat. Featuring custom sounds, animations, cruise control and a fog horn. The so called "Rotor Boat" is much faster than the vanilla sailboat, sporting a 2x speed multiplier opposed to the 1.2x boost the sailboat has. This does however come at the cost of 2 less cargo hold spaces.
When driving you can toggle on the cruise control by pressing your sprint key (Ctrl by default), the fog horn is triggered by pressing your jump key (Space by default). As a note cruise control can also be disabled by pressing the backwards movement key or if no one is present in the drivers seat. Blowing the horn and toggling cruise control both are on short timers to prevent rapid spamming. One last notable perk of the boat is that the cabin shields its occupant from ranged projectiles, such as those from bow torns and the like.
Similarly to my Craftable Companion mod, Clockmakers get alternative versions of the Rotor Boat Gearbox & Engine recipies, that allow the substition of some of the jonas parts.
The mod features custom components, a full proper boat assembly process, new sounds, all vanilla wood varities of boats, and in game guidebook help pages.
To start constructing a Rotor Boat, you place down the specific iron plated rollers and add the needed components for that step (Make sure they're on your hotbar!) The debarked wood logs used in the second stage will determine the material needed for other parts of the boat and the final resulting wood type.
The full list of resources to make the boat is:
1 Rotor Boat Engine
1 Rotor Boat Gearbox
2 Debarked Logs
40 Boards
3 Leaded Windows
1 Chair
2 Roof Ridges
6 Temporal Gears
6 Metal Parts
12 Lead Plates
8 Iron Plates
1 Brass Plate
2 Iron Rods
2 Cupronickel Rods
8 Nails and Strips
4 Large Wooden Gears
If you'd like to configure the speed of the boat user DrKlinger has made a handy config lib patch mod that allows setting the boat speed. (Although beware, setting any boat to very high speeds is likely to work poorly with mounted creatures such as Elks staying onboard.)

I've gone ahead and simply linked your mod, thank you for making it!
I'd prefer to stick to this approach as I dont want to make it confusing whether config lib is needed for this mod, and in the future if I implement configs it may be in a different way that does not use config lib and I wouldn't want to randomly remove the speed settings from the mod like that if I do and also cause more confusion.
Pal_5000 I do have a mod uploaded that uses the configuration to patch a patch json - but I certainly find direct integration cleaner.
Something like this titled configlib-patches.json under a folder titled config in your domain should work perfect, and allow you to extend configuration options in the future for anyone using configlib.
And if you decide not to, linking works too! Though its a cool mod we get to play with, so I hope to offer a bit of help!

If you've already got it up as a mod I could also just link it on the page if you'd prefer instead of integrating it directly.
Hey, I could shoot over a configlib JSON your way for any people wanting to configure your craft! Lets configurations be setup if config lib is installed - without requiring so - with only the 1 json file.
I got a similar setup w/ a patch working w/ this mod uploaded if you wanna take a look too!
dude i love it
Keep up the great work!
Nice mod but it would be nice to have an option to customize it trough config file ( I tried to modify the speed multiplier from 2 to 6 or 4 ) But it doesn't seem to work at all like in speedboat mod which works great at a cost of turning speed. Your boat looks much better, and to my liking. 6 spaces for cargo is pretty good. My motivation for this comment is that i don't enjoy sailing for 2 hours to get into another continent, that's why i think speed is crucial here. Keep the good work ! I enjoy it.
just amazing another thing to strife for as a boat is already a accomplishment!
this mod is amazing its very immersive here is an idea maybe fuel could be used to boost the speed but without it your just slower but still faster then the normal boat
i've been playing vintage for 4 years now and this is by far one of the best mods i've seen. Not only is it cool and functional, but it easily looks like it could fit in the base game. its fantastic.

Thank you, wow thats very kind and impressively quick work given the mod just came out, appreciating the enthusiasm in the comments broadly overall :D
I'll pop it in to a tiny update.

Not at this time (although thats not a bad idea to add), I may consider looking into that for a major update but thats likely not to happen soon since I want to take a small break on working on big features after just releasing the mod. The speedboat mod might disable the multiplier or make it not actually apply for modded boats I think, if thats the one your using its probably making the boat slower then normal. JSON wise the speed multiplier used by the vanilla system is actually exposed in the mod and you could patch it to increase it if desired like that for now. (Same to enable it to be able to be picked up like a raft.)
These ships look like they should pop a wheelie at high speed.
Is there a config to change the speed?
I'm contemplating adding this to a server I run, but we've got a mod installed to boost vanilla sailboats from their anemic speed to something more reasonable, and I wouldn't want the Super Fancy Jonas Boats to be outperformed due to said speed tweak.
wish it was bigger
Pal_5000 Hi, I made a translation for your mod
This mod is SO COOL! Really good work dude! I'm quite impressed actually!
This rules.
DanaCraluminum Fuel was something I considered but ultimately decided wasn't really needed given how expensive the boat already is, there is a stage where you "energize" it during construction to bring the engine online with five temporal gears though.
Frankly I dont think it'd do much but discourage people from making a boat even more, even if its only SLIGHTLY.
In the majority of cases, there's already alot of reasons not to use a boat with most world settings and the fact you can't take it through translocators and what not. I dont want to make the boat any more restrictive with needing fuel given that most players will already find it likely too expensive.
Does it consume any fuel? If not, then it is very sad
