Ship Management

Best OSRS Boat Layouts for Efficiency

Don't waste ticks running around your deck. Optimize your Sloop, Skiff, or Galleon with these proven facility layouts.

📏 Proximity: Keep the Helm, Sails, and Extractor within 2-3 tiles.
🔄 Flow: Ensure a clear path between cannons and ammo storage.
⚖️ Balance: Distribute weight (facilities) to avoid listing (though not a mechanic yet, looks better!).

The Sloop: Compact Efficiency

The Sloop is the smallest ship, meaning space is at a premium. Every tile counts.

The Skiff offers a bit more deck space than the Sloop, allowing for more specialized facilities.

Place your Crystal Extractor diagonally behind the helm (Rear-Right). This allows for 1-tick interaction without leaving the steering interface.

For combat Skiffs, place your Harpoon Gun at the very front for maximum range.

The Galleon has massive deck space, which can actually be a disadvantage if you spread things out too much.

Create a "Command Center" around the Helm. Do not place essential utilities like the Extractor or Spirit Tree at the far ends of the ship.

Does layout affect ship speed?

No, the placement of facilities does not currently affect the ship's speed stat, only your personal efficiency in operating them.

Can I move facilities without destroying them?

No, once a facility is built, you must remove it (destroying it) to place it elsewhere. Measure twice, build once!

What is the best ship for solo play?

The Sloop is generally considered the best for solo play due to its small size, making it easy to manage sails and helm simultaneously.
