New Features
- Improved cargo placing: when placing big items such as crates and furniture, they will now move slightly to avoid collisions with other items or walls, making them easier and less frustrating to place. This feature can be turned off in the settings.
- Fixing furniture in place: shops in capital cities now sell hammers, which can be used to lock big items like furniture or cargo in place, preventing them from being picked up accidentally. Hanging items like paintings, maps or lamp hooks can also be nailed down.
- Charting kit protractor: the map charting kit now includes two protractors of different sizes, which can be used to measure the compass angle of your lines.
Gameplay Changes
- changed the length of the mile shown in the mission information to match the miles measured by the chip log and the charting kit ruler; this means all distances between islands will now show a different number of miles than before, but the actual distance in the world remains the same
- added more reputation levels, and adjusted the reputation requirements for each level
- changed the way mission reputation rewards are calculated; the reward will now mostly depend on the distance, instead of the amount of cargo
- the reputation UI will now show bars with progress towards the next level for each region
- added a money animation whenever you spend or earn money
- adjusted the boat damage visuals slightly to reflect the real amount of damage more accurately
- the inventory and log UI will now darken slightly at night
Bug Fixes
- New embarking system: entering and exiting your boat should now be much smoother and more reliable. This new system should make it nearly impossible to accidentally fall into the water, clip through the dock, etc, while embarking or disembarking.
- fixed random jitter and glitches when using the charting kit on a moving boat
- you can no longer drink from mission barrels
- streetlights will no longer illuminate your inventory and other UI elements
- various minor UI improvements and fixes
