European Seafreight Tycoon - Patch Notes v0.0.2_EA

📢 Foreword

Before we get to the actual patch notes, I would like to thank you for your patience over the past few days. The data recovery following the hardware failure was largely successful. 🎉

⚓ New Features

Port Compatibility Check for Ship Purchases
When purchasing a ship, the game now automatically checks if the destination port has the required infrastructure:

• TEU Storage for container ships
• Bulk Storage for bulk carriers
• Liquid Storage for tankers

Automatic Starting Warehouses
When starting a new game, your headquarters will automatically receive the appropriate Level 1 warehouse based on your chosen starting ship class.

Improved Berth Display
The display under "Pier" now provides a detailed breakdown of your capacity:

• Pier upgrade level
• Base berths
• Additional passenger piers

Specialized Warehouse Upgrades
Warehouses can now be upgraded up to Level 3:

• TEU: 500 to 5,000 TEU
• Bulk: 15,000 to 150,000 t
• Liquid: 25,000 to 250,000 m³

Revised Sea Freight Route Calculation & ETA
The route calculation now uses the actual simulation logic:

• Freight market and route planning are synchronized.
• ETA corresponds to the actual travel time.
• Travel speed is based on 15 knots.

🔧 Improvements & Optimizations

• JIT orders now expire after 4 hours to keep the market clean.
• JIT delivery windows now display actual calendar dates (e.g., Fri, 09/01/2026).
• Express orders now have clearer prioritization and notices regarding contractual penalties.
• The "Idle Cargo" minigame has been completely converted to sea freight.
• Financial reports and messages are now correctly localized and categorized.

❤️ Thank you!

Thank you for your patience and support. I look forward to continuing to build European Seafreight Tycoon together with you.

Fair winds and full cargo holds!
