Career

Start your nautical career as a landlubber in a small harbor and work your way up to becoming a professional captain. Complete training lessons to learn the fundamentals, then prove your skills by passing your first license check.

Each successfully completed license check unlocks new vessels that become available for purchase at the dry dock. With your own ships, you can take on a variety of missions to earn credits and expand your maritime career.

At the start of Early Access, you will always begin at Ralswiek Harbor. Explore the world to discover new harbors. Purchase a residence at another harbor to unlock it as a fast-travel destination. You can then travel there using the Travel menu on the laptop inside your home.

Enter your home and head to the bedroom. There, you can sleep to advance the time.

Not all vessels are available for purchase at every harbor. To buy a tugboat, you need to visit a harbor that offers tugboat services. You can check which harbors offer them on the Open World selection screen.

Credits can be used to:

• Purchase additional vessels.
• Unlock further training lessons and license checks.
• Buy residential buildings in other harbors.
• Pay for ship repairs and other operating expenses.

At the beginning of your journey, you can choose from different playable characters and select your preferred difficulty level. The selected difficulty determines how challenging the in-game economy will be throughout your career.

The base difficulty can also be adjusted at any time in the gameplay settings. These settings affect both Career Mode and Open World Mode.

With the Early Access release, the first two Career levels are available as a beta feature, with additional progression planned during Early Access.
