Description

A caravel is a large ship used for travel and transporting cargo. It has one of the largest holds of any ship and can carry many crates, vehicles, and other loaded items.

Vessel details

• Requires 24 mind logic to command.
• Passengers: 1 captain and 13 crew.
• Maximum speed: 30.88 km/h, solo with a gale from behind.
• Hold capacity: 62 large crates. See #Loadable items for more information.
• Creature cage capacity: 8.
• Minimum passable depth: 20 dirt.
• Requires 35 body strength minimum to drag.
• Hull size: 5 x 2 tiles.
• Overall length: 6 x 2 tiles.
• Height: 35 dirt from water level to deck.

Notes

• You do not need 35 body strength to avoid beaching the boat. As long as it is not moored, the boat can still be pushed or pulled off a reef.
• Ships with a quality of less than 10 cannot be commanded.
  • This includes ships whose damage percentage would calculate to bring the quality below 10, such as a 12 quality ship with 17 damage.
  • Repairing a ship can sometimes result in the ship retaining a quality above 10, making it commandable again.
• Caravels are among the most difficult ships to build. Higher quality parts improve the chance of success.
• Ships cannot be hauled up ladders.
• Can be loaded with a wagon or a large cart, and enough animals to drive them.
