System Updates
Naval Combat System Update
In this update, players can now capture enemy warships encountered along shipping routes and convert them into their own vessels.
A total of five new combat ships have been added.
Armed Fishing Boat
The most basic combat vessel. Can equip one weapon.
Armed Speedboat
Slightly stronger than the Armed Fishing Boat, featuring more upgrade slots and the ability to equip one weapon.
Heavy Armored Speedboat
Compared to the Armed Speedboat, it features heavier armor, more upgrade slots, and can equip two weapons.
Slave Ship
A cargo vessel used by slave traders to transport captives. Equipped with:
- One forward cannon mount
- One rear cannon mount
- One machine gun mount on the second deck
Armed Ferry
Features:
- Two storage chests
- Advanced Water Purifier on the second deck
- Slower movement speed
Heavy Firepower Armed Speedboat
An upgraded combat speedboat equipped with:
- One forward cannon mount
- Two machine gun mounts
- High movement speed
Because warships are much larger than normal boats, they may occasionally become stuck in terrain.
To solve this issue, a new "Push" icon has been added to the bow of ships, allowing players to manually push stuck vessels free.
Ship Weapons
Naval Anti-Air Cannon
A rapid-fire large-caliber weapon that deals substantial damage with a relatively small explosion radius. Can only be installed on cannon mounts.
Naval Cannon
A single-shot weapon that deals the highest damage in the game.
Features:
- Slow reload speed
- Large explosion radius
Can only be installed on cannon mounts.
Naval Machine Gun
The most basic ship-mounted weapon.
Features:
- Highest fire rate
- No explosive effect
Can be installed on any weapon slot.
Naval Autocannon
Deals more damage than the Naval Machine Gun and fires slightly slower, but has a small explosion radius. Can be installed on any weapon slot.
Automatic Naval Autocannon
An autocannon that fires automatically and requires no manual reloading. Can be installed on any weapon slot.
Automatic Naval Machine Gun
A machine gun that fires automatically and requires no manual reloading. Can be installed on any weapon slot.
All ship-mounted weapons can be crafted at the Ship Workbench, using a system similar to the Gun Workbench.
To improve inventory management, unequipped ship weapons are stored in a virtual ship cargo inventory rather than occupying backpack slots. Players can freely install or remove weapons through the interface.
All ship weapon ammunition is crafted at the Ammunition Workbench.
Coastal Defense Turrets
Some weapons proved unsuitable for naval combat during testing and have instead been converted into land-based defensive turrets:
- Nail Gun Cannon
- Molotov Launcher
- Explosive Barrel Launcher
- Explosive Bolt Launcher
All except the Nail Gun Turret are blueprint-based structures. Their ammunition can be crafted at the Black Powder Weapons Workbench. The Nail Gun Turret is unlocked through the Tier 2 Research Station and fires crossbow bolts.
Ship Repair Platform
Tier 4 Research Station structure.
Functions:
- Repairs damaged ships within range
- Quickly installs equipment onto ships within range
New Locations
Airport – Underwater Ruins (Level 4)
- Rich in clay deposits used for making bricks.
- The underwater area is extremely dark, so don't forget to bring a Night Vision Goggles.
Ship Graveyard – Underwater Ruins (Level 5)
Entering through the cave entrance will lead you to a massive underground cavern. At the bottom, you'll find a Copper Ore Vein.
Unlike standard copper deposits, ore veins can be mined infinitely and require the use of an Electric Drill.
Iron Ore Veins
Two new underwater Iron Ore Veins have been added and also require an Electric Drill to mine.
Some Level 4 and higher combat zones now feature Coastal Defense Turrets. These can be destroyed by eliminating their operators. The most effective way to deal with them is by using ship-mounted weapons, although sniper rifles and other long-range weapons can also be used.
Great Bridge
The Great Bridge has been renamed to the Great Bridge Trading Post.
The Guns Merchant has been relocated here.
This location is now a neutral area. A group of pirates will initially spawn there. Once all pirates have been eliminated, the Guns Merchant's shop will open and enemies will no longer respawn.
A new Flower Shop has also been added to the original Great Bridge combat area. Players can purchase various decorative flowers here for base decoration.
Unlocked through the progression line.
Trading Post
The Trading Post is now hidden by default. It can be unlocked through the Radio Tower signal "Trading Post Communications."
Changes:
- Guns Merchant moved to the Great Bridge.
- Furniture Merchant moved to Eden Island.
Eden Island
Several new NPCs have been added to Eden Island. After all enemies on the island have been defeated, these NPCs will emerge.
Merchants available on Eden Island:
- Ornamental Fish Merchant
- Advanced General Goods Merchant
- Furniture Merchant
Floating Shelter
Additional content has been added to this location. A new boss has been added: The Pirate King. The Pirate King drops a unique weapon:
Flintlock Pistol
The Flintlock Pistol has been removed from the Black Powder Weapons Workbench and is now exclusively dropped by this boss. Its damage has also been increased.
Neptune
A new underwater area has been added as part of a side quest.
This area can be accessed through a pipe and allows players to explore sections of the ship buried beneath the sand in order to complete the quest.
Pirate Armed Transport Ship
Level 5 combat location. Unlocked through a radio signal received during a side quest.
Note: This ship is a combat location and cannot be captured or sailed.
Paradise Island
Paradise Island serves as the final battle area of the game and is an enormous island containing four major combat locations:
- Military Port
- Rolling Stone Fortress
- Winding Mountain Fortress
- Underground Fortress
A new world map region, Paradise Island, has also been added at the southernmost part of the map.
All of the new combat locations listed above, except for the Pirate Armed Transport Ship, are located within the Paradise Island region.
Tip: Paradise Island is protected by powerful coastal defense systems. We strongly recommend bringing a warship before attempting to explore and conquer the area.

The Aquarium consists of three parts:
