Building

There is an elaborate vessel building interface that allows you to build sea or air vessels in an open world drydock or runway respectively.
Building vessels can be complicated, so check out some of the community guides

Exploration

A massive open world / ocean map filled with islands awaits you! Be warned though! If you go to far out to sea (currently ~50km), the sea monsters may think you are lunch.

Multiplayer

Multiplayer supports every feature that is supported in single player. You can build boats and deploy them and your friends will see them and be able to crew or captain them. Some functionality may be authorized only by the owner of the server depending on the effect.

Chat

The game includes a very basic low profile text based chat to allow for communication during multiplayer. It is intended primarily as a quick message relay and to aid players in connecting on Discord or Steam chat.

Weather

Physical weather systems (Rain, Storms, Fog, Wind, etc.) move around the map and can be monitored for your vessels safety on a journey. The further away from the protection of the islands the more intense the affect the weather will have on your vessel and the ocean waves around you. Be prepared for severe weather such as "tidal" force waves and whirlpools.

Multiplayer Madness!!!

On April 12th, 7 PM UTC I will be hosting a multiplayer server with a max of 16 players.

Goals

Extreme fun
Talk to the developer
Find unknown multiplayer bugs
Give out keys

The release of the game is likely going to be shortly after this event (weeks?) and most likely by the end of April. There have been several large groups of multiplayer I have seen during early access (4-6) players. Hopefully I can rally at least 10 for this, but no more than 16 because that is the max per server.

[b]If you choose to join, make sure you know the basics of the game and more importantly be ready to provide information if you find a bug or something (see "Reporting..." sections here )

Check out the workshop and the guides !

I will most likely be on Discord on some channel that I will setup closer to the event. There is an in game text chat. But you can message/add me on Steam if you want or show up, say nothing and cause chaos.

Here are some videos that may tell you what to expect:
This event will likely run several hours. I am not aware of any critical multiplayer bugs that would prevent us from playing endlessly, but if someone does find a critical bug it may require a full stop of the fun or at the very least restarting the server.

I, and likely others will be recording gameplay to make fun videos. I also find this useful for nailing down what causes multiplayer issues.

This is the first event like this for this game. Perhaps there will be more!
