The boat seat to make a car is what I believe to be an unfixable glitch--it may require rewriting more code than the survival 303 team has the time for. I never considered multi-wielding to be a glitch, it is just a factor of the game.. similar to how you can seemingly perform telekenises with the drag tool. Not only that but it is apparent that some glitches are not completely patched--they just require more resources to do. I noticed they patched Wells and some other builds being essential in making floating islands, but left King Statues anchored... While wells take few materials to make, King Statues require gold and even chromite. I thought that was pretty interesting.

One thing that gave me the idea for this thread is a hard-to-do glitch me and one other friend just discovered that kept your airship in the air infinitely. We were certain if we spread it around it would certainly be patched.. and this glitch is, really, the only thing keeping airships afloat so they do not fall back down to earth. It could also be abused in unimaginable ways--making it likely to be removed, so that is a reason we are keeping it off the wiki--and the abuse a reason we are keeping it to ourselves. Whatwith the King statues, Normal statues too are anchored, And require naught but Three Boulder ^^

And there are many ways to keep an airship floating indefinitively, There are even glitches that allow an airship to Completely teleport itself and all attached blocks to Another location. Other glitches allow the ship to move on all 3 Axises, Allowing you to go upwards or downwards whenever you feel like it. There are also some things you can attach to an airship that will cause the whole thing to literally just dissappear, Just like that. Without a trace, Everyone sitting on a seat on it will have their cameras broken or die.

Most of these require more time and dedication than most players would ever spend on the game though, And why would they when they could accomplish something much better by simply putting a spear wall on a boat or a cart? Ofcourse many, many glitches that were very useful have been patched, which is sad, only a small portion of them were actually harmful to players.

I'd have to put myself on the "Don't patch glitches that don't ruin gameplay for players".

But with that comes the question, What exactly Counts as ruining gameplay? Does immersion-breaking bugs ruin gameplay? For some yes, others no. Still, I'm much too frequent a user of these glitches to actually want them patched, wether for selfish reasons or not.
