Expertsailor

Overview

This component stores and exposes configurable multipliers and speed/strength parameters for boat-rowing and sail operations (e.g., force applied during rowing, extra velocity bonus, anchor raising speed, and lower sail strength). It does not directly control gameplay logic but acts as a data container for tuning and modifying how sailing mechanics behave on a per-entity basis.

Properties

Property	Type	Default Value	Description
row_force_mult	number	nil (unset until assigned)	Multiplier applied to rowing force; used to scale rowing power.
extra_max_velocity	number	nil (unset until assigned)	Additional velocity bonus added to the entity's maximum speed while sailing.
anchor_raise_speed	number	nil (unset until assigned)	Speed factor for raising the anchor; higher values raise the anchor faster.
lower_sail_strength	number	nil (unset until assigned)	Strength or effectiveness factor applied when lowering sails (e.g., impact on sail control or durability).
