Better Boats Mod

[Asher]

I started making a mod that is supposed to make boats better. So far, I've increased health for all arrow and siege ships, increased resistance for arrow, siege, and ram ships. And some more stuff. https://github.com/Jeff-web-sketch/BetterBoats. I am thinking turret-able units would be cool on boats, but is that possible? If you have any input on how boats could be made better, I would be glad to have your input.

So, I got the turreting working, but they are surviving when the boat is destroyed, and they can walk underwater. Is there a way for them to, um, not survive the boat sinking?

IIRC garrisoning has such logic

But is there a way to do that with turreting?

So, I am trying to make an aura that increases range. How would I do that?         { "value": "Attack/Ranged/Range", "multiply": 2 },

My point was that if garrisoning does it, then yes it's possible to copy the code and do it.

Sounds like something that should be handled in vanilla and not require mods to implement the logic. You should open a issue for it, I might pick it up myself. If you do, attach a dummy template of boat with turret point to make the testing easier.
Or if you can't wait next release and you just want to do it yourself, please open a PR on main repo that would be most useful.
