[Update Preview] Buoyancy Overhaul: Big Ships Roll, Boats Stop Bouncing
In the upcoming Version 1.6.1, we have refactored the buoyancy system.Parameters such as gravity now behave more intuitively, and the number of buoyancy sampling points now increases with the size of the ship.
This further improves the physics of small vessels in extremely rough seas, greatly reducing the likelihood of porpoising.
Large ships will also experience much more noticeable pitching and rolling, instead of feeling like they are welded to the surface of the water as they did in the previous version.
