Ship Design

If you’ve ever attempted to furnish your ship in TTS, you know that it could be a tedious and complicated task. The sheer amount of furniture and possible designs is overwhelming and difficult to comprehend, especially in larger ships. This article will be going over several components of ship design to help you sail the Seven Seas carefree.

Layouts and Design 

When designing your ship, one of the most important aspects is having a proper layout. To avoid confusion, it is vital to set a goal on how you want your ship to look. This, however, is a somewhat daunting task that often leaves new and seasoned players puzzled. An organized ship has many rooms that flow and work together, maintaining an open and organized atmosphere. It is important to contain a central area that acts as the heart of your ship, from here all your rooms will stem. Although a ship can contain any room that you desire, you will be better off including some of these listed below:

• Storage Room

Keep your barrels out of sight in a storage room, these are most practical at the bow or stern of your ship where space is limited and awkward to furnish. It is common to include woodcutters, magazines, and crafting tables here.

• Crew Quarters 

If you plan on sailing with your friends, make sure to add a comfortable space for them. Not only does it make your ship cozy and homey, but it also boosts morale and provides a place of refuge for your crew.

• Common Space

Every ship needs an area everyone can utilize and feel comfortable being in. It is most commonly found in the centre of your ship and is usually where all the other rooms are accessed.

• Captains Quarters

Arguably the most fun part of furnishing your ship, this is a room all about you! Most individuals include their most prized trophies here, utilizing it as well as a place to store valuable items. Make sure that this space reflects your needs as you will spend a lot of time here. It is most commonly found at the stern where you can find the ship’s backward-facing windows.

Furnishing Tips and Tricks

Compared to other games, TTS has very limited furniture options, however, it is very easy to make do with what you have. Here are some of the most useful tips:

• Utilize the dry dock 

This is quite often the difference between a sleek and wonky build, the dry dock provides a stable surface to place your furniture allowing precise placement.

• Plan it out

Don’t go into a build without an end goal, your design will likely be confusing and not coherent.

• Proper Lighting

It’s difficult to navigate and properly use dark ships, it goes a long way to keep it nice and bright.

• Open Layout

Nobody likes a labyrinth of hallways and dead ends, make sure your ship can feel spacious while maintaining a cozy atmosphere.

• Item Placement 

When placing your furniture, do it concisely with care and attention. Placing stuff sporadically will result in your ship feeling messy and uncomfortable. This includes making sure walls are streamlined and not choppy, and ensuring furniture isn’t clipping though.
