SeaOrama: World of Shipping News

Ahoy Seaorama Captains! ⚓️

We’re excited to announce that Update 2.2.5 for Seaorama: World of Shipping is now live! This update includes essential fixes and enhancements to improve your gameplay experience. Here's what's new:

[h2]🆕 New Features[/h2]

• New log entry when a ship travels to a port for repairs.
  
• New Security insurance calculations. Now the cost is only for the trip leading to the port affected by piracy.
  
• New R&D window. Unlock upgrades through research to install on your ships and meet the requirements of the crew members. (R&D is available only when you start a new game session. Older saves will use the old format.)
  
• A new way of calculating the value of a share of a port, making it more affordable to invest.
  
• Added new column with Net Profit visible at Finance & Accounts.
  

[h2]🔧 Fixes and Improvements[/h2]

• Improved Details at the Crew Members profile window. Know from before what upgrades to the ship each member will demand at each level and plan ahead with the new R&D department.
  
• Improved Details considering the percentage of event avoidance a crew member offers at the Crew Members profile window.
  
• Improved Port Investments window. See which ports sell shares, and know their ranking before investing. You can now also sell your shares from one port if you need money to invest elsewhere. AI companies can also buy shares, so be vigilant when new shares become available.
  
• Fix incomes/outcomes bugs.
  
• Fix Charter contract bug.
  
• Workshop packages hotfixes.
  
• Better breakdown for percentage and full amount of fuel at the Fuel window in Operations.
  
• Changes to Contract bonuses for the Game modes. Easy Mode now gets +60%, Medium Mode gets +30%, and Hard Mode (plus Ranked Mode) gets no bonuses from the contracts.
  

We’re committed to continually improving Seaorama: World of Shipping and appreciate your feedback. Enjoy the new features and fixes in this latest update!

Hey Captains ,

We’ve just released a new update — Version 2.2.4 — focused on bug fixes, improvements, and clearer guidelines for content creation. This patch addresses several gameplay issues and adds new information to help creators build better packages.

[h2]Fixes and Improvements[/h2]

• Fixed trip days calculation to ensure more accurate scheduling.
  
• Fixed issue where fuel was incorrectly displayed after refueling during a trip stop.
  
• Adjusted charterers' contracts for better balance and consistency.
  
• Rearranged ship type ordering in certain UI windows for better clarity.
  

[h2]Workshop Guidelines Update[/h2]

• We've added new guidelines directly in the Workshop to help you understand what makes a good custom package.

These updates aim to improve the overall user experience and make it easier to create and manage content within the community.

Thanks for your continued feedback and support!
