Notes

The Nautikin cannon's max range is roughly 3km

I was working on a new outfit so I polished some old vert issues I saw with existing outfits while there. This will affect things like running/jumping around in the jumpsuit and bounciness (mostly around neck seams).

The stunt suit is heat resistant, but not cold resistant.

Some of the weapon part materials look slightly different because the default shader was changed to support weather. I can't really notice the difference without looking at the previous version so it seems like a pretty solid upgrade to support rain wetness and snow without changing the material in build mode.

Rather than constantly firing missiles as fast a possible, AI will now make "decisive choices" about when to fire tactically and sometimes decide not to fire right away, which basically means they will not always fire every single missile and fire less often, but in some cases they will choose to fire rapidly.

Vessel horn part does not have controller bindings. You can change the pitch and size of a horn to affect it's sound.

Previously, when a Nautikin was seated it used the same rules for impacts as it did for jumping. This causes problems when colliding with objects at slow speeds (which are fast for vessels) or flipping upside down on land in a vessel. It also becomes very apparent something is weird with jet skis that allow you to pass under low hanging parts on other vessels. So the thought here is that if you collide with something while seated (Not another Nautikin, the ground, another boat, crates, etc.) you break your neck or are crushed from the weight of the vessel, there is no way you should survive and it will prevent you from passing through solid objects while being seated in the vessel. Bottom line is you are now extremely vulnerable to impacts when in seats.

The same crushing seat behavior applies to climbing.

The game will attempt to prevent you from getting into seats that would result in being crushed.

Nautikin interaction distance overall has been increased to make interacting easier. This creates problems with aiming harpoons at things you intend to shoot close up (or holding items in general). Logically speaking, holding an item could reduce your ability to grab/interact with something so now it will decrease your interaction distance when holding an item (which ends up being a slightly shorter distance than it orginally was before the increase).

Damage in vessels will now display for things like Nautikins taking damage from frost or fire, impacts, weapons, etc. Basically any damage they take while crewing a vessel will be displayed to make it clear they are taking damage.

The new torquing water physics will also apply to boats that exit and enter the water at extreme angles. An example would be a fast speed boat that loses control momentarily and then exits the water to begin a cartwheel as it crashes back into the water.

The next build will likely be a smaller one related to additional mod support (mostly) followed by another larger build.

Guides will be updated soon.
