Jungle

Clue: We can make minecarts. Extrapolate.

Having metal or stone boats would require a form of power slightly more advanced than what we have. It'd require some form of steam power, as the closest form of power to our current technology. Or metal boats could be held with a redstone -> energy converter relying on magic, which would probably require large tests amongst the elves.

Praecantatio magic works like this:
When one utters a word of power, they are transforming redstone to pure energy and shaping it with a bit of their own energy. The word they utter is a focus word for their thoughts and energy, allowing them to send power to the redstone, activating it and turning it into raw power which reacts with the environment in a certain way; ie. uttering "fulmen" splits the redstone into a positive and negative charge, with one of the charges in the sky and the other in the vicinity of the direction you're aiming at. Lightning forms as the charges fly together.

Shredster should say something here.

[Clue314]

Except that Shredster wasn't an engineer in Toyeca, he was a Bounty Hunter.

*sigh* that's not what I'm talking about....

Metal boats can be powered by anything, including oars and sails.

[Clue314]

But iron is heavy.
Oarmen would get too tired,
and sails would make it move slower than a wooden boat.
Making a wooden boat superior.
And you can't use those on a medium to large sized metal boat.
Let us just keep it to wooden boats.

For once I agree with clue huh imagine that.

[catplanetcatplanet]

But getting jungle wood is going to piss off some people.
It would take a long time to mine out a whole tree,
and I could make a very similar regular wood boat much faster without pissing people off.
Making a boat of regular wood superior.
Let us just keep it to regular wood boats.

[Clue314]

How would cutting down a jungle tree make people mad?
There are PLENTY to go around, especially as they may go into the Biome Generator.
And all I need is a few of their saplings, and I can grow my own anywhere, so I only need to cut One or two treees down.

[scud47]

But iron is much stronger. Perhaps an iron coating/sheath would be most effective.

[Umune]

If you only need to cut down one or two trees, you don't need to cut down a jungle. One or two is totally fine. That is not what you have be stating as your intentions, however.

[Clue314]

Again, I was using a hyperbole, an exaggeration, is it illegal to use those forms of writing these days?
If so, I do not want to live in this world anymore.

[scud47]

Have you considered counseling?

[Clue314]

Yes, my counselor did not use enough hyperbole, so I killed her.
