Big Expansion Preview — Build Your World, Your Way!

🌟 Big Expansion Preview — Build Your World, Your Way!

[h2]Hey Captains! 👋[/h2]
We’ve been cooking up something huge behind the scenes for the past few months, and it’s finally time to start sharing what’s coming. This is more than just an update — it’s a whole new way to play the game. Let’s jump in! 🚀

[h2]🛠️ Build, Customize — Your World, Your Rules[/h2]
One of the biggest requests we’ve gotten from you all has been more ports, more events, more control. We hear you — and we’re taking it to the next level!

We’re introducing a brand-new content system that lets you, the player, create and customize game elements:
  • ✨ Add or remove ports whenever you want
  • 🏗️ Give ports custom names, descriptions, and define what type of port they are
  • 🚢 Choose which products are available in each port
  • 🎉 Create your own in-game events to shake things up
  • 🗺️ Even change the look and feel of the map with different styles and themes
Everything is modular — so you can keep things simple or go wild with hundreds of ports and events. There’s no limit to what you can add!

Ports, events and map customs can be mixed from different creators each one of them.


[h2]🌐 Share Your Creations With the Community[/h2]
Want to show off your custom world? Or maybe you just want to explore what others have made?
We’re adding support for syncing and sharing custom content online! That means:
  • 🌍 Download community-created ports, events, and maps
  • 👍 Rate and discover the best content made by other players
  • 🔁 Easily switch between different setups to try out fresh gameplay experiences


[h2]🧪 Beta Testing Coming Soon!
[/h2]We’re getting super close to release, and we want your feedback to make this expansion the best it can be! 🛠️

We’ll be running a public beta for one week in our beta channel so you can try all these features early and help us test things out.
Stay tuned for the exact date—we’ll announce it very soon!

📸 P.S. The screenshots we’re sharing are still work in progress, but we wanted to give you a glimpse at what’s coming.

[h3]Thanks again for being part of this amazing community — we can’t wait to see what you’ll create! 💙[/h3]

  • Ship Events: When a ship event requires player action, you will now see details of the current contract next to the available choices for informed decision-making.
  • Request CVs: Added a new option to request CVs every 15 days (requires the appropriate advisor).


[h2]🔧 Quality of Life (QoL) Updates[/h2]
  • Country of Base: The selected base country now displays above the Menu bar.
  • Mass Dismiss Crew Members: A button allows you to dismiss all crew members at once when selling or scrapping a ship.
  • New Icons: Fresh icons added for ships on the map for easier identification.
  • Ship ECO Reminder: ECO calculation reminder text added in the Speed section of the Operations Overview.

Patch 2.1.6

Ahoy Seaorama Captains! ⚓️

We’re excited to announce that Version 2.1.6 for Seaorama: World of Shipping is now live! This update introduces several new features and quality-of-life improvements. Here's what's new:
[h2]🌟 New Features[/h2]
  • Special Offers: Special offers last for 30 days at a port or shipyard and provide substantial bonuses. These offers can include increased contract prices, decreased upgrade costs, or discounted new ship prices. Don’t miss out!
  • Crew Member Filters: Find the best possible crew member for your ship with our new filter options. You can now filter crew by Level, Salary, Nationality, and Age to better match your fleet’s needs.
  • Ship Behavior in Storms: Passing through extreme weather can cause damage to your ship. You now have the option to select the ship’s speed when passing through a storm. Higher speed will save you time, but lower speed minimizes damage.
  • Crew Member Training: Send crew members for training while they are not onboard a ship. Training lasts for 90 days and grants the crew member 45 experience points, helping them level up.
  • Hide/Show World Notifications: You can now choose which world notifications to display on your screen, allowing for a more focused experience.
[h2]🔧 Enhancements and Fixes[/h2]
  • Bank’s Interest Rate: The Bank’s interest rate is now displayed next to the installment cost, making financial planning easier.
  • Readjusted Ship Event Randomness: We’ve adjusted the randomness of ship events to prevent the same event from occurring simultaneously at multiple ports.

We hope you enjoy these new features and improvements. As always, thank you for your feedback and support! Keep sailing and optimizing your fleets in Seaorama: World of Shipping.

The Seaorama Team 🚢💙
