The Nautopilot Kit is a craftable Item exclusive to Don't Starve Together, introduced in The Curse of Moon Quay update.

It is used to place a Nautopilot on a Boat. An activated Nautopilot finds an activated Nautopilot Beacon within six squares of turf and pulls the Boat towards it with a force of ×0.6. This mechanic allows you to carefully park the Boat to a coast without causing damage to it. To activate the Nautopilot, you need to click on it with the left mouse button, after which it will search for an unpaired Nautopilot Beacon and pair with it. If no Nautopilot Beacon was found, the Nautopilot will turn inactive.

The Nautopilot Beacon is an item created in the seafaring filter. It can be activated in the inventory and dropped on the ground to create a Nautopilot landmark. When active, the Nautopilot pulls the Boat towards the active Nautopilot Beacon.

Prototype Tips[]

  • Beacons can be placed on a "leading boat", while its paired Nautopilot is placed on a "follower boat" to create increasingly long moving Boat lines, though poor control/planning may cause collisions to occur.
  • Similarly, one can create an Eternal Motion Boat Carousel (Youtube video aid) with at least 3 boats, each with a Beacon and a Nautopilot, by ways of linking the "leading boat" Nautopilot with the Beacon of the last "follower boat".
  • Woodie in Weregoose form's Ocean-walking ability, when carrying activated Beacons in its inventory, can Goose-Chariot (Youtube video aid) Boats whose Nautopilots are paired to the Weregoose's inventory Beacons.
