The Fan Boat

7 days to die the fan boat

Description

Fan Boat Experimental – work in progress version 3.

Launch

Place the Fan boat on/in water in a ‘shallow water’ area that has fairly flat ground underneath, if you have no shallow water in your map then build a small launch dock using standard blocks, add some fuel to the Fan Boat and off you go.

The Fan Boat will not work on land (It may move very very very slightly side to side on land due to Motor torque but will have no steering or control over direction)

Controls

Standard WASD controls for this version as it is loosely based on the 4×4 physics and the Fan Boat can now be steered with the mouse like a standard vehicle or toggle mouse to use just the WASD and use the mouse to look around whilst driving.

S‘ will act as brake and ‘spacebar‘ may stop the Fan Boat slightly quicker.

To anchor the Fan boat when stopping use ‘spacebar‘ (Hard brake fix as in vanilla vehicles to stop momentum) handy for fishing mods if you use them.

Crafting

The Fan boat is craftable in a standard workbench with a ‘high progression’ needed like the gyrocopter for the final assembly.

Loot

Some parts can be found in loot in the normal places vehicle parts are found.

Progression

The ‘full fan boat’ can be crafted when you reach level 100 in vehicles, other parts can be crafted at lower level or as mentioned some parts can be found in loot.

Vehicle Mods Supported

FuelSaver, Reserve Tank, Turbo Mod, Lights, Seat and cosmetic

Other Information

Note: Colour dyes ‘can’ be strong colours on this base colour.

Spotlight Function (Experimenting) – When boat is stationary use mouse look to direct the spotlight 90 degrees span

If anyone wants to change the recipes and build methods then please feel free to do so but let me know how you improved it.
