Air in ships

[grim geyser]

You could try replacing air in ships with some invisible block, kinda like glass but that you could walk through, so there is no water in sub decks of a ship

Placing air blocks would be goofy

Anyways air pockets and water culling is coming next update

Which you would already know if you did the smallest research
Also you can already make water culling air pockets with VS Additions WIP fakeairpockets feature

Fair enough

[noble mist]

Spoiler, you can only try them once per world, it corrupts your world after leaving

wait, the vsaddition fake air pockets do?

[noble mist]

Yeps

[grim geyser]

Will the air pockets make the ship more buoyant?
