BottleShips

BottleShips

BottleShips adds 11 bottle items, each containing a ship, cart, battering ram, catapult, portal, trap, or ballista. Use a bottle as the build resource and place the full-size piece when you need it.

• Each bottle is tied to the matching piece.
• Pieces can be configured to use the bottle recipe or their original build recipe.
• Build stations, build resources, bottle recipes, bottle weight, stack size, teleportability, and removal behavior are all configurable.

• Keep bottles on item stands and grab one whenever you are ready to build.
• No more digging through containers for every ship, portal, or siege piece.

• If a ship breaks, carrying a spare bottle lets you rebuild it quickly.

• Bottles on item stands.

• Raft, karve, longship, and drakkar bottles.

• Cart, battering ram, and catapult bottles.

• Wood portal and stone portal bottles.

• Troll trap and ballista bottles.

• Bottle recipes at the workbench.

• Bottle recipes at the forge.

• Bottle recipes at the artisan table.

• Bottles can be configured with weight, stack size, and teleportability.

• Build full-size pieces using bottles, with optional station requirements.

Configuration

BottleShips is configured through the normal BepInEx config file. No YAML editing is required.

General options:

• Extended Cart Interaction: client-only toggle that expands the cart's normal Use interaction to nearby carts without adding a separate hotkey or tooltip. Default: On.
• Troll Trap Auto Reload Seconds: automatically rearms piece_trap_troll after it triggers. Default: 5. Range: 0-10, where 0 disables it.
• Ballista Targeting Tweaks: trophy targets are prioritized, but the ballista can still attack other valid enemies. Players are never selected as targets.
• Battering Ram Size: scales newly placed battering rams. Default: 0.75. Range: 0.5-1. Existing placed battering rams are not changed.

Each bottle section can configure:

• Use Original Build Recipe
• Build Station
• Can Be Removed
• Build Resources
• Weight
• Stack
• Teleportable
• Recipe Enabled
• Recipe Station
• Recipe Resources

Synced options are enforced from the server when BottleShips is installed on both server and clients. Client-only options, such as extended cart interaction, remain local.

Localization support

• There should be BottleShips.English.yml in plugins folder. Translate it to your language and put it anywhere inside of the Bepinex folder
