Our Core Keeper Boat Guide will tell you how to unlock and craft Boats, a new method of transportation introduced in the Sunken Sea Update that lets you cross water.
How to Unlock the Core Keeper Boat
You can unlock the Core Keeper Boat by getting to the Scarlet tier of weapons and armor -- that means you'll have to go to Azeos' Wilderness and get Scarlet Ore. Here's what you have to do step by step:
- Defeat Glurch, Ghorm, and the Hive Mother.
- Work your way up to the Iron tier of weapons and armor. Build the Iron Workbench:
- 10 Wood
- 10 Tin Bar
- 20 Iron Bar
- Travel to Azeos' Wilderness and farm Scarlet Ore. Smelt the Scarlet Ore into Scarlet Bars. Built a Scarlet Workbench:
- 10 Tin Bar
- 15 Iron Bar
- 25 Scarlet Bar
- Build the Electronics Table at the Iron Workbench:
- 8 Wood
- 8 Copper Bar
- 8 Iron Bar
- Build an Electricity Generator at the Electronics Table and place it on the ground in your base:
- 10 Copper Bar
- 5 Iron Bar
- 1 Gold Bar
- Build a Table Saw at the Electronics Table and place it next to the Electricity Generator to provide it with Power:
- 8 Wood
- 5 Copper Bar
- 5 Iron Bar
- Use the Table Saw to make Planks. While that's going on, build a Boat Workbench at the Scarlet Workbench:
- 50 Plank
- 15 Scarlet Bar
- You can now build the Core Keeper Boat of your choice!

You can get Planks by building a Table Saw at the Electronics Table.
How to Craft a Boat in Core Keeper

What Happens if You Die on a Boat in Core Keeper?
If you die on a Boat in Core Keeper, a floating Tombstone will be created where you died. Your Boat will remain at the location. You'll have to build bridges or take another Boat to retrieve your lost items and your Boat.
