Ship Cannon Crafting & Firing Update

• Harvesting saltpeter in Felucca now applies a 1000 point luck bonus where it previously did not.
• Alchemists who sell saltpeter have been added to the Moonglow & Britain docks.
• Match & Matchchord have been removed from alchemy crafting and are no longer needed in the cannon use process.
  • The match can still be used to fire a cannon
  • Match & match chord can be turned in for Cleanup Britannia points
• Crafting potash no longer requires water as an ingredient, instead crafters must be near a water source which includes  the water trough, water tub, water barrel, bucket of water, fountain of life, sinks, dragon tubs, dragon turtle fountains, koi ponds, and the water wheel.
• Potash now functions as a “make all” item and will craft as much as possible based on available ingredients.
• The following changes have been made to existing cannon resources,
  • “light” and “heavy” powder charges are now simply “powder charge”
  • “light” and “heavy” cannonballs are now simply “cannonball”
  • “light” and “heavy” grapeshot is now simply “grapeshot”
  • “light” and “heavy” frost and flame cannonballs are now simply “frost cannonball” and “flame cannonball”
  • updated tileart for powder charge to make it more visually distinctive from cannonballs
  • updated tileart for grapeshot to make it more visually distinctive from powder charges
• The following changes have been made to cannons & associated resources,
  • All existing cannons must be dismantled and replaced before use after Publish 104 is deployed. 
  • The “light cannon” is now known as “culverin”
  • The “heavy cannon” is now known as “carronade”
  • Polished art assets for cannons to make them more visually distinctive
  • The metallic dyetub can now be used on placed cannons to hue them
  • Cannons are now containers, resources for firing cannons can be placed inside them in what is referred to as the “magazine”
• The following changes have been made to the cannon firing process,
  • Cleaning a cannon is no longer required and the swab has been removed from tinkering.  Existing swabs can be turned in for Cleanup Britannia points.
  • When double clicking a cannon the firing control has two options “PREP” and “FIRE”
    • A player must be within 2 tiles to execute this action
  • Place cannon firing resources inside the magazine and push the “PREP” button to begin the cannon firing process.  Resources will be taken from the magazine.
    • Only 1 player may participate in preparing the cannon for firing.
  • Cannons will automatically move through each step in the “PREP” process so long as resources are present in the magazine.
    • This process will continue so long as the player is present on the ship, if the player leaves the ship the process will pause.
  • Cannons can now be fired with a match or a torch, as such torches will no longer auto-douse when placed in the backpack.

Thank you!

Wow, still so much to read, lol. I thought it would be as simple as one sentence "load up" the gun aim and shoot.. lol

Pawain

It is.

Thanks Pawain.

My comment is I play one legged captain, and I move slowly. Can we fire while standing anywhere on board the ship... and not only 2 tiles.
