Removable & Swappable Staysails
- Any staysail attached to a stay can now be removed by pressing R once the sail is fully furled.
- Removing it creates a physical sail package that can be carried and moved around.
- The package is named using the stay name + sail name + sail size.
- The package retains the sail's weight.
- To install a staysail, hold its package, aim at its assigned stay, and press R.
- Different staysails can be swapped on the same stay.
- Each sail package is bound to the stay it was created for and cannot be installed on a different stay.
- The package remembers the sail's position on that stay, so it will return to the same position regardless of where you aim on the stay when installing it.
Sail Maker
- You can enter sail maker mode in shipyard, the button is above clean ship.
- It opens a specialized shipyard where you can configure staysails only.
- Your mast and stay layout must therefore be set up in the normal Shipyard first.
- Once you have selected the desired staysail type, size, and position, click Buy Staysail in the bottom-left corner.
- A sail package will be generated beside the Sail Maker scroll.
- You can buy multiple different staysails for the same stay, carry them aboard, and swap between them during a passage.
- Press the sail maker button again to switch back to shipyard
- If you install your staysail high up the stay and you don't have crow's nest, you might need a little parkour on stay to take it out.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
