Quick Job Update
This update adds the Quick Job system to the game.
Quick Jobs can be found in by going Company Info > Job Board > Quick Job
Quick jobs are generated whenever you enter a cargo loading area in a port and will generate random jobs from that loading area to another loading area. Quick jobs are unique as you will be provided with a "hire boat" to complete the job so they are a good way of trying out boats before buying them.
You can cancel a quick job at any time but please be aware that if you save your game while doing a quick job you will lose the "hire boat" when you reload so don't save during a quick job just yet ːsteamfacepalmː
Other things to be aware of - Quick Jobs don't show your destination on the MFD map yet so local knowledge of where the ports are in Menorca is required (you can use a real map if you want).
Sometimes the job generator will create a job between 2 cargo areas in the same port. I will fix this next week but until then it is easy money!
Other Updates...
1. Fixed the floating rocks & lighthouse to the south of Fornells.
2. Tweaked the Mako physics - it still needs some work!
Next week will all be about the boats with at least one new vessel arriving and hopefully some nicer control models for throttle and steering wheel.
I will also be adding in a new map so you can see where the ports are and where your destination port is to aid navigation when doing quick jobs.
I shall also be tweaking the weather system so that extreme weather is less likely and the time between weather changes will be longer and randomised to be a little more unpredicatable.
Once these are in I shall be rolling the current game state out into the main branch. ːsteamhappyː
