Improved threshold for tuna on deeplines (Tuna will bite more often)

Ahoy all fishermen,

A new update version: 1.5.777.8859 is now available. In this update we reworked how the deepline works, with a new behaviour that will make deeplining better than before. A new bank loan screen is added under the finance tab, to make it easier to keep track of any bank loans you have taken.

We improved the steering on a few boats and fixed some major issues both in the main game and Scallops DLC.

Changelog

• Added new bank loan screen under Finance tab in Wiki
  
• Added a extra depth level for deeplines, this will give you better catches between 50-100m
  
• Adjusted Dolphins spawning
  
• Fixed issue with bank loans sometimes not available even with no dept
  
• Fixed issue with cable stretching when fast travelling with Lunar Bow
  
• Fixed issue with shark causing damage to boats
  
• Fixed issue with pressing ESC in main menu showing load screen
  
• Fixed issue with a deadlock scenario when having a baited lobster pot while hauling one
  
• Fixed side splashes not being calculated properly
  
• Improved steering on Hermes, Double Trouble and Deckster
  
• Improved water when its calm
  
• Increased fuel tank on No Yankee
  
• Reworked deeplines, new behaviour! After a fish is on your hook you now have between 6 and 8 (game) hours to reel in the deepline or the fish escapes. But you also don't want to haul immediately, since you could catch more if you wait longer. You will be notified for each new fish on the hook, but not for escaped fish. The buoys on the map will be blue as long as at least one fish is on the hook.
  
• Moved sonar depth meter to the left side on sonar

Scallop DLC

• Added more info about scallop process status (Better explaining why fast travel/saving is disabled)
  
• Added a second gutting slot on Ocean Scout
  
• Adjusted price and weight on Scallops
  
• Fixed crash when hauling a dredge net
  
• Fixed right crane winch being placed wrong on Viking Power
  
• Fixed issue with only one dredge net gets filled when trawling
  
• Fixed issue with crew not working with cranes on Viking Power
  
• Fixed issue with crew taking a long time to level up
  
• Fixed issue with tutorial marker not showing on map
  
• Fixed issue with dredge net physics
  
• Improved beams logic
  
• Improved steering on Ocean Scout
  
• Improved scallop sorting and gutting speed for crew

Thank you all for the great support, reports and feedback, we really appreciate that! We are working on several other improvements that will come in our next update. So stay tuned for more to come soon :)

Small hotfix for Scallops DLC tutorials not getting marker on map

Ahoy all fishermen,

Today we present our Scallops Expansion, bringing you 3 new boats and the ability to fish for scallops around Nova Scotia.

Nova Scotia is not only known for it´s rich fish stocks such as bluefin tuna, lobster and swordfish, but it is also home to one of the largest scallop fishing industries in the world.

Scallops digs into the sandy seabed, so its not possible to see them on your sonar. You can get fresh scallop tips at the bar in each port.

Search for the best breeding ground, with brand new mini games. Use cranes to prepare, haul and empty dredge nets, control drums to lower and raise the dredge nets onboard your ship. Sort and keep a steady hand while cleaning the scallops, before you store them fresh at the hatch of your boat. Head back to port to earn your bucks!

Ahoy all fishermen,

A new update version: 1.5.765.8713 is now available. Sorry that our previous update messed up the fish habitats, this is working again in this update. Our new improvements for the habitats will come in a later update.
