Dear captains!
We continue to work on improving the game and expanding its content. Today, we’d like to talk about one of the upcoming innovations, namely the new “Auto-loot” module.

Since the launch of the project, we have received a lot of requests for automatic item collection. Players often spend a lot of time gathering loot in an area, which can be time-consuming and distracting from combat.

Therefore, we’re introducing the “Auto-loot” feature into the game, which will be included in one of the upcoming updates. To use this feature, you’ll need to install a special module on the deck of your ship. After installation, loot within a certain radius around your ship will be automatically collected and loaded into the cargo hold. Unlike manual loot collection, the automatic feature does not require key presses or close proximity to items on the water’s surface.

Initially, one version of this module will be introduced, requiring a certain amount of energy and deck space. In the future, we may expand the range of these devices, each with different collection speeds, action radius, and energy consumption.

Stay tuned for updates to ensure you don’t miss the introduction of the “Auto-loot” feature in the game!
