One of those niche, (presumably?) widely-unknown bugs that is actually extremely relevant to subcommunities of people who play the game - in particular, any decent Minecraft speedrunner is well aware of "boat break" and plays around the possibility.

Part of the reason I love speedrunning games in general is how it tends to bring weird bugs to the forefront of your consciousness, just like this!

Oh god yeah, watching Subnautica speed runs with glitches allowed was eye opening
I tried to play SubNautica for a bit (after playing some Minecraft) but they put their waiting loop in "the wrong place" ... in Minecraft you have to wait to "retrieve the items" (ie: mine 100 stone blocks), while in Subnautica you had to wait to "combine the items", ie: staring at a boring progress bar while trying to craft some rubber suit fins or whatever. It seemed like it was going to turn into a "stare at the progress bar to build things" game and that really turned me off from sticking with it.
