  Automations Update

  Automated ship routes have now been added to ShipOS 1994 ahead of its launch on Monday 28th! Automation has been one of the most requested features to be added to ShipOS since the demo launched a few months back so it's been something I've been working hard on to try have ready in-time for the game's full launch. I've tried to find a nice balance between the game becoming too simple whilst also having automation still simplify your life. So while your ship will now automatically sail from port to port, collecting and dropping off cargo, you will still need to be involved in accepting those cargo contracts and ensuring that your ship is on the most optimal route. You can try the new automation feature in the ShipOS 1994 demo starting from today! Getting started with automations Follow these steps to setup your first automated shipping route: Purchase a ship Open the Ships application (note: the ship must be delivered to be visible) Select the ship you want to setup automations for Select Enabled Automation Select the start/end port from the port dropdown and click the + button to add it Continue to add as many ports as you'd like to the route (note: only unlocked ports can be added) And that's it! Some things to remember Some important points to remember: Your ship will attempt to auto refuel and service at every port it docks at If a ship is on a long route and runs out of fuel/service you will need to manually refuel/service it and re-enable automations Ships will only collect accepted contracts so you still need to manually accept them in the Contracts application Ships will only collect cargo destined for the next port in its route Open to everyone's feedback so feel free to chat in the community forums or over on the official Discord server!

  Public Roadmap Now Live!

  It's important to me that core to the development of ShipOS 1994 will always be player feedback. Whether its input on new designs, requests for new features, or identifying pesky bugs, what fans of ShipOS have to say will always be a guiding light in the development of game. It's therefore important that the development roadmap for ShipOS be widely available for collaboration with the community so I'm excited to announce the launch of the roadmap over on Codecks! Link to the roadmap: Codecks Roadmap While light on detail at the minute, my plan is to continue to build out the roadmap to reflect current development efforts. Currently, the feature set for Beta 3 and Beta 4 are live with information on Beta 5 and 6 coming over the course of the next week. As development progresses you can provide you input at anytime over on the Discord server, Twitter/X, or right here in the community hub on Steam! Enjoy!
