in the case you're out of fuel, could possibly use the wind information, to slightly affect your position, so you eventually run aground somewhere if you're not anchored/moored somewhere

nothing drastic, as it takes a lot of wind to move something with that much mass (particularly without sails), but there would be some wind effect.

(not sure how random wind is, in the game... sometimes I think it just gradually keeps going through a 360-deg rotation, which would be useless for this, but, admittedly, I never really studied how the wind behaves over time.)

That's a really great idea. I had planned to add sailing boats which took no fuel and were entirely dependent on the wind. I'll see how this fits in with those, but it seems like a good idea.

Thanks for the feedback!
