Ship Graveyard Simulator 2 News

Huge Major Update! 🛳️

New stuff! We've introduced functionality to add some flair & personality to your scrapyard house. You can now expand it with new rooms, decorate it and paint however you'd like! We've also expanded the beach, adding another big area to run & drive around, prepared for some very big ships... Whenever they arrive. We've also implemented changes to the crate weight limit, so now the highest upgrade level can fit even more stuff!

[h3]📌 IMPORTANT[/h3]
First game launch after patch might take a minute or two along with ~5fps showing, but do not worry - it's the engine generating metafiles for better optimization. After the first launch, every consecutive launch will be much, much much faster. Same with game saves.

[h3]DirectX Version[/h3]
If you are experiencing crashes on the loading screen, please change the DirectX version in Steam's game settings.
