I think we can all agree that ships are pretty useless if you can’t get them from the North to the South, so I’m suggesting a server-wide effort to build canals throughout continents so all oceans can be connected. Good idea, yes?

I can't stand vinegarDecember 3, 2016 at 2:07 pm #44495Good idea, but it would take ages.
With the speed of ships nowadays, I prefer to just re-build my ship in my port rather than sail it hundreds of blocks, and risk it being stolen/hijacked by pirates.

Hi
December 3, 2016 at 4:35 pm #44511This was once proposed by Dr.Solid!
As said above, ships may not be considered that useful because of them being difficult to defend while travelling. A global connection will not make a ship revolution, but it would certainly be a good thing. If we had an opposite situation where we all liked to sail ships, probably we would have had more will to dig these canals, like it happened to me in a period when I used to sail an indiaman and had to reach certain locations.

it isn’t 100% finished, as theres a small inlet that needs to be widened before a large ship can pass. the canal was lined with double stone slabs, which cannot be used on a ship currently. jmoo and arti workied on the canal and made it halfway, then I asked several players, including saltpigeon, and cottagecooper, along with several TAS members; we plowed through the rest of the canal, and got it finished and filled with water the next day. with enough help and effort, it is possible to do something like that again. for reference, that canal is over 600 blocks long.
(I’m aware there is a ship there, it is locked and waiting to be sailed to a port where it can be kept safe. if anyone needs passage though, they can ask me and I can open it up for them)
we have plans to dig another, we just need to find patience and willingness to dig another ungodly long canal.

Sure. I don’t have time myself to focus on it, though.
