How to build a boat in Rust’s Naval update
The first major update in Rust, the Naval update, has added the Deep Sea location to the game, and you'll need your own boats to reach the location. The boats we are talking about are completely modular; they can take any shape and size, open to your imagination. This guide will help you build your first boat so that you can set sail as quickly as possible.Table of contentsHow to build a boat in RustHow to use the Boat Building Station in RustAll ship components in RustHow to build a boat in Rust Building a boat isn't an easy task, and more so if you're just a beginner.

Once you craft the station, place it in the deep water. Drop it at the location, and the station will turn blue and become active.

You'll need to redeploy the station whenever you want to rebuild your existing ship or build a new one.All ship components in Rust Every ship has three core parts.Sails: Sails are the most basic way to move your ship. At first, your ship won't have any engine. You can use the sails by turning them towards the direction you want to move. As the wind moves through them, your ship will start moving. Sails don't require any fuel, and they're really cheap to make. You can place multiple ones on your boat, but don't put them too close to one another.Engines: As your boat becomes more advanced, it will start having engines. You have to place them on the bottom deck, and they will consume fuel. You can set up multiple engines to make your boat move faster. Image via Facepunch Stuido Anchor: The anchor helps to instantly stop your boat from moving. It's also necessary if you don't want your boat to drift apart. Additionally, you can place ramps and plans on your boat if you want. However, these are optional parts and building them depends on your plans. Interact with the Helm to finish the construction, and get the boat ready to move. Always have a security lock on your Helm to prevent your boat from being stolen. Once done, you're all set to sail for the Deep Sea location. The post How to build a boat in Rust’s Naval update appeared first on Destructoid.
