Public Test Branch - Update v0.8.0.1164

Ahoy, Captains!

We’re rolling out a new patch for the Public Test branch, addressing numerous fixes and improvements based on player feedback. Your reports and testing have been invaluable in refining the experience - thank you for your support!

[h3]What’s New in This Patch:[/h3]
  • Fish Farm Ownership and Progression: The ownership and progression of the fish farms are now properly saved.
  • Save File Loading Fix: Loading a saved file no longer results in the owned boat or ship spawning upside down
  • Tier 1 Basic Crane Operations: Enhanced cargo handling for the Tier 1 basic crane, including placement and pickup functionality
  • Further improvements to cargo missions
  • Improved Fish Production Line on Tier 3 Fishing Ship:
    -- Setting longline buckets is now smoother
    -- Hauling and placing fish on the table has been enhanced
    -- Previously, only one fish could be placed on the table; now, you can place up to 12 fish
    -- Fish Gutting Mechanic: Previously not being able to gut fish, e. g., while the boat in movement has been improved
    -- Added "Store Fish" button to store sorted fish into the boat inventory on Tier 3 fishing ship
    --The progress of the fish production line is now properly saved, allowing you to continue from where you left off
    -- Additionally, added the ability to set two longline buckets to the longline setter and deploy them sequentially

[h3]Things We Are Still Investigating and Improving:[/h3]
  • Fish Storing on Tier 3 fishing ship: Currently, only the host can store fish; this is being looked into
  • Tier 2 Crane Operations: Improved cargo handling for the Tier 2 crane. We are aware of occasional issues that occur intermittently and are actively investigating it
  • Invisible Wall Issue: Some players may encounter an invisible wall while sailing, which we are actively addressing
  • Physics Issue on Ship Deck: We are still investigating why the ship’s physics can sometimes go out of control when moving over the deck

[h3]What’s Next:[/h3]
Rest assured, we will continue to polish and complete all available features. We are also actively working on integrating the remaining features to provide a smoother and more engaging gameplay experience.
