Boat Building Station
The Boat Building Station is a stationary deployable in RUST that acts as the Shipyard for the new Player-Made Boat Building System.
Once you’ve learned and crafted your Boat Building Station, players may equip it in their toolbar like any other tool. It presents the player with what looks to be a square building platform with a built-in box and umbrella that will only appear when above the ocean floor. For this to work, we have to head to the sea; no other type of water will do.
From what we can ascertain, only the ocean floor texture will be detected, allowing a Boat Building Station platform to be placed above it; even then, it is contingent on the distance of that texture from the water’s surface. These boats require quite a bit of underwater room to maneuver, and figuring out a way to cheat the system and build in a shallow will make your finalized boat pretty useless after the fact. For this reason, we recommend picking a nice, wide-open area (no nearby bases with active Tool Cupboards) and a deep part of the ocean to begin assembly.
