Stealing a tugboat typically involves ambushing its current owner. Wait until they dock or leave it unattended, then kill the player and take control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you have fuel and tools to maintain it. Set up a TC (Tool Cupboard) and doors quickly to claim ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can buy a tugboat from vendors on some custom or modded servers where boats are available for purchase at outposts or player-run shops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prices vary, usually requiring scrap or components. Once purchased, you can customize and defend it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To keep a tugboat safe, build armored structures, install turrets, and secure the engine room. T<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ugboats can travel long distances and serve as mobile raiding platforms or sea bases, making them highly valuable.
