Naval Action - How to NA Wood Types

[@johnbjones8825]

I've been playing for about 3 weeks. It's been addicting as hell. Thanks for these videos. Not many players care to help with all the questions.

[@Rook2299]

no problem. Many of us had to learn on our own so If my vids help then i did my part.

[@KB9813]

Just going on your rant, as a new player I understood what sesesoned wood was in a real life was a year ago from my military history background and knowing getting seasons wood stocks was a challenge for war time economy. Why German and Russia swapped to laminated/plywood during ww2. So I had THAT advantage of knowing that season wood was wood that had been dried out aka "seasoned" due to that. Also I understood that live and white oak in history was the preferred wood type. But, until I was handed the NA map and look though the stats list that's there did I understood the wood types. I mean it's cool that it's in the game, but they don't explain it at all to new players. I always direct new people to the NA map due to there tools.

"Do a quick video" = ~40m I love NA.

To William R. you get seasoned woods a few different ways. #1 is go with a group of players in big ships and do HDFs (Home Defense fleets) each ship you sink has a wood chest on board. #2 PvP, go out and sink players that are in 3rd rates or above. after 10 kills you get a wood chest but make sure you pick up that PvP mission. #3 buy the seasoning shed permit and build the shed in a port that produces Tools, you then take the woods you need to season over to that port with the shed and season the wood yourself. (this cost money, tools and Labor hours to do). #4 buy it from ports like La Tortue, La Mona, Tumbado, Aves.

Great instruction for new and not so new players. Thank you

isnt the planking the outside and the frame the inside?!

[@vencaS81]

Yeah I wanted to ask the same. If there is Frame .. I think it is inside of the ship, .. skeleton of the ship.. and Planking is the outer shell... that should be tanky to bounce those cannon shots. But English is not my first language so I mite not understand it correctly.

[@v0dkal3m0n1]

@@vencaS81 but at the end on the netlify app his explanation proves as correct?! I dont really get it....

[@Lusitani74]

It should....

[@hryvojta9846]

Sides have armour+hp and can bounce, hull just has hp. The wood on frame has bigger effect. Both frame and trim affect hull and sides. I think the recommandition should be "if redeemimg always seasoned" and there are some seasoned woods that are inferior in all aspects to other seasoned woods. Overall, i think you need to decide if you are building your ship for speed, for max armor or max hp or jack of all trades. This is based on encounters you expect. You cannot have ship to excel in everything.

[@lancepymble6280]

This guy has mixed up the inside and the outside of his ships. The frame is the inside and the planking is the outside.

[@marioo3871]

Thank you very much! Great explanation :D

[@Kit-Talon]

The thing is none of this information regarding wood types and statistics is shown in-game, so how can new players know which woods to use? The devs really need to add this kind of info into the wood descriptions.

[@jamielonsdale3018]

Life doesn't come with a tutorial. For the first 3 years, neither did Naval Action.

[@chrissauer1498]

isnt frame on the inside planking on the outside?

[@LeatherCladVegan]

I'm fairly certain that the outside walls are considered a part of the frame, and the planking is basically the decking. Because if you think about it: what would a frame be without a shell? It would just be a mast and a keel. Thus; the 'walls/outsides' are part of the frame, I should think.

[@Alex-jd8if]

Hi, could you update this video ? also can u make a chart like the one you did but with all woods separated to Armor woods/ HP woods/ speed woods ? lov u

[@Rook2299]

I have had two new videos in the works but I got a new job that has put all on hold. I do plan on making a video that explains all changes after this next big update.

[@Alex-jd8if]

@@Rook2299 well in that case you got new sub, looking forward for the new vid

[@JakeyBOO16]

If I want to build my ship like a tank that has rly good armor what wood to I want to use?

[@Rook2299]

Live Oak/ white Oak or Locust/ Sabicu. these are some of the strongest woods. you just wont be able to turn or move very well

[@odjflone8330]

So you want more armored wood on your planking and more hp wood on your frame right?

[@swiftbear]

Is it even worth a solo player to get into shipbuilding? It's only the clans that can reliably gather the other woods correct? Or if you only want to fir/oak ships all day, which no one does.

[@Rook2299]

you can solo the game yes. its not recommended. and if you buy the DLC that helps you have more outposts and building that will help as well. BUT in the end you will still need to buy things out of the shop, and you will still need to do all the work of gathering these materials to build ships. the big issue is that you will not get the same bonuses that people in a clan are getting off that port. assuming you are crafting ships in the correct port. to fix that problem you create your own clan. but even then the owner of the port needs to add your clan to friends list. so best you just join a clan, makes this game 10x easier.

[@swiftbear]

@@Rook2299 Ok thank you, I think I am going to stick with a forge and workshop for now because I am finding out quickly trading makes so much money.

[@Kameeho]

Lol. Meanwhile as a new player, to poor to do crafting, to unskilled/lazy to capture enemie ships effectivly. However i got a knack for smuggling, and always ended up buying well craftet ships from enemie ports and reselling / using them myself. No wonder they sell like hot cakes. Dutch Nation sells ships for ridiculous prices. Meanwhile polish being stereotypical polish sure know how to make cheap labour and plenty of ships. For 1/10th of the price.

[@Old_Shakes]

dude i was clueless what the wood types meant lmao

[@xsamsungg5735]

Good information, but you did not show good combinations of the special wood types:(

[@Rook2299]

correct. but this was not a real in depth video on each wood combination. more for noobs with DLC ships

[@xsamsungg5735]

@@Rook2299 True, but now noobs like me are getting 1000 free african oak and african teak (from christmas redeemable), so would be nice to know what to do with it haha

[@Rook2299]

@@xsamsungg5735 yes I agree, I could have said something about that. basicly if you dont want to craft anything with it then sell it for A LOT OF MONEY. but i would hold onto it until you have enough to craft a good ship out of it.

[@boomcat1337]

Is fir faster then bermuda ?

[@Rook2299]

yes.

[@charlesbukowski9836]

cool

[@superfly29rr16]

Are these still relevant. I've just realised I've been making crap builds haha

[@Rook2299]

this new season has changed a lot of things. LIVE OAK / WHITE OAK builds are still good. but Live oak/ mohogany is a bit more armour. bermuda/bermuda is better for speed.

[@Rook2299]

I decided because the devs switch the woods up so often it would be a waste for me to make a new video every season.

[@tugdualmarquer]

why all tutorial of naval action video are 3O MINUTES LONG ??? Come one guys !!! get it right 10 min max cut the crap, talk fast go strait at the point im not watching 30 min tutorial ever

@@tugdualmarquer then why do you commentn just go and search for a shorter video

[@tugdualmarquer]

@@szilard1267 because im not happy it a 30 min plus tutorial. And i know it is. This is feed back. Not every comment should be good job. If its not. All video tutorial should be shorten, cut, talk strait to point to teach. And all naval action video tuto are so annoyinly long. Audience of this game is not huge. One way to make it grow is to make qualité video. I dont mean, expensive video. But at list cut, strait to point. If all the point cant be cover in one resonnable video lengs... then its perfect! That mean there is many different interesting point to cover. do one video for each point to cover. Its like the tutorial in naval action. Its actualy divided in differente fight tactic. So you can do little by little without be bored. Imagine all the tutorial have to be done in one time... its doable of course but fuck i dont wanna do it. Its same. Naval action need good short content videos 5 to 10 mins. It uncrease audience as when they see a 5-10min video that may not cost them too much time if they dont learn anything in the video. But 30 min? This is a regular leng of a documentary. Same . Some ship build would be nice! Meta or experimental!. .. guys seriously. People got the right to be upset about video because they dont like the structure of it. specialy if they came for an info.

[@szilard1267]

@@tugdualmarquer well if you think that a 30 min tutorial is long then this game is probably not your type, play action games where no tutorial needed and you dont have to sail or run for hours to engage an enemy
