I still haven't figured cannons how - how DO they work?

Just place a cannon, put ammo next to it and designate a guy as a cannoneer, it will shoot at enemies automatically.

im loving it. but how do i make my guys eat...
it would be nice to be able to have sails without crows nest on top maby atach them to mast blocks ?

[Anvilfolk]

Sackhead: designate a guy as cook. Select one and then look at the icons which are the lowest in the screen. You'll have an apple: that's the cook!

Also, which ones are the cannons?

I have everything a boat needs... But how does one sail around and actually get my guys to do stuff other than starve and die.

The build is to test the shipbuilding from what I gathered.

I get that, I was just assuming by what I've heard, that there is a bit more stuff to do

Anyway, shipbuilding is neat, much easier on the eyes due to it being grid based.

Good work on that.

Right-click a pirate and click "grapple", than when they're on the ship press "sail".

Latest update is out. 3.1.6. We have added proper tooltips, a whole new control scheme, and only let you play as the captain. The reason for this is that the end product will have you working WITH your crew as opposed to CONTROLLING them. It'll give a more RPG/Roguelike/Sim feel than before, and that is what we were going for. By only controlling your captain you will have to delegate orders. These orders may or may not be obeyed based on the pirate's morale, skill, like of you, and basically what he went through that day. While you can't see any of that on face-level currently it IS implemented. 

Currently in this build you cannot sail due to the aforementioned change in orders and controls, the orders aren't 100 % synced with what we had programmed, that will take a few days, but by next build you should be able to have some basic gameplay! For now have fun with the expanded building system, try and crash the game, and let us know what you think about the new control system.

NEEDLESS TO SAY YOU NEED TO CREATE A NEW GAME!
As always. PM me for a link,

One last thing. I am not in the states, your "Prime-Time" is my "Down-Time", PLEASE limit the petitions to ONE pm. If I don't answer within 5 minutes don't send me 15 of them. I'm PROBABLY asleep or have reached the forum's 20 PM's per hour rule!!

Small notes:

• Grapple is now automatic for your captain, just point and click.
• Right Mouse Click opens Context Menu where you can command your pirates, also make sure to activate it on top of your pirates as its a shout typed system, currently it has grapple command.
• Ship builder menu improved

I hope you will like it!

I just want to say thanks to alexpoysky (as i dont want to send him PM as he's probably getting a ton of them) and whole  Pixel Piracy dev team for allowing us to have fun with their early game builds.

[alexpoysky]

Anytime man! I hope you have fun we encourage sharing and screenshots!

[ahappydude]

Just tried it quick:

-Right click order menu seems to work=)  And will make it easier once you got a whole crew to command!
I like the new voiceeffects to ., they add immersion and amkes the pirates more living =)

- I didnt encounter any bugs when buillding the ship b, you can no longer place blocks where they arent supposed to be which is nicely fixed (Y) .
When i was angerly followed the first grappling were asuccesfull but then he jumped back in the water ( I think he was trying to fight the  other pirate) And they started jumping around bin the water before drowning .

-  The new tooltips gives the player a better picutre in how to do what (Y) Im sure you allready got this planned, but stairs would help the ai alot i think. The things for spiking shark was a nice addition to hahaha =)

I just wanted to  give some quick notes, this was just a small test run to try .
Keep up the great work, im not sure about my finacial sitaution when this is realssead but i will try my best to back it and your guys (Y) Cheers

Found one bug after building and then exit to the screen wher you controll your pirate. http://i.imgur.com/wCwceMy.jpg I built it the other way but it rotated.. I marked it down

Screen:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

ship with big cargo room and plenty of room for pirates and ladders for accesiablity (Y) You done  a great thing with lighting, you can almost feel the sun coming into your ship. Yes the ship  looks like a whale but it will eat its opponents .

[ukulele]

I think the order sistem if done right is the right way to go! Its always great when unexpected things happen, like having a rebelion mid fight.
Tried the ship builder, noticed i couldnt put double sails on the same mast anymore, here is my little creation used all the blocks and backgrounds, its a shame i couldnt buy more. Keep up the good work!
