Public Test Update v0.8.4.xx – Patch Now Live!
[p][/p][p]Fellow sailors![/p][p]This Public Test patch brings several important improvements and fixes based on the many detailed reports and feedback from our community. Highlights of this update include:[/p]- [p]Rebalanced engines across all boats, including a fix for the sudden throttle drop reported by multiple players[/p][/*]
- [p]Major fixes to crew and passenger behavior, including resolving the issue where NPCs could fall overboard[/p][/*]
- [p]Level-design corrections to shallow-water areas in several parts of the map to improve navigation and prevent unintended stranding[/p][/*]
- [p]A targeted performance fix near Værøy, addressing the heavy frame drops reported by the community[/p][/*]
- [p]Autopilot – AUTO Mode[/p][p]In AUTO mode, the autopilot maintains the set heading/course. Players can freely adjust the heading using the rotary knob to port or starboard, and the knob can be physically rotated for precise course corrections.[/p][p]Manual steering will override both NAV and AUTO modes when avoiding obstacles. After manual input, NAV mode will correct the vessel back to its planned route, while AUTO mode will return to the previously set heading.[/p][/*]
- [p]Floating Pier at the Fish Farm[/p][p]A temporary floating pier has been added at the fish farms to make docking smoother and prevent the Class 3 cargo ship from undocking after loading a savegame. This is an interim improvement — a full fish farm overhaul is planned for a future update.[/p][/*]
- [p]Fixed and adjusted price for fish sold from fish farm, which solves the money exploit[/p][/*]
