Mod updated for version 0.17 of the game
Original mod sourced by IceDevML : https://mods.factorio.com/mods/icedevml/Ships
This is simply a version update for 0.16 so it can still be used.
Adds a basic ship. (Researched along with Car under Automobilism)
Not mineable. (Once placed it needs to be burned to remove it)
Uses any burning fuel, like Wood, Coal and Solid Fuel (3 slots of 50 each)
Use movement keys to speed up, slow down or turn. Colliding with land will not damage but cause instant braking. Minor damage may occur due to rocks beneath the waters surface.
PS:
It's best to place close to land - this way you will be able to get in, and it won't get blocked.
Because of the engine limitation, you need to be very close to the center of the ship to be able to get it - make sure it's accessible before you get out, or you will not be able to get back in.
