Ahoy, Seafarers!
We’re back with another patch, fixing some reported issues and bringing in a few new additions.
⚓ How to Access the Beta Branch
Open Steam and go to your Library
Right-click on Seafarer: The Ship Sim
Click Properties
Select the Betas tab
Choose 'public_beta' from the dropdown list
🌍 New Languages added
With this update, we’re adding several machine-translated languages to Seafarer. We want to be completely transparent about this: these translations were created with machine assistance so we could deliver them quickly to the many players in our community who have been asking for them. We hear you, and we wanted you to have access to the game in your language as soon as possible.
Because these translations haven’t gone through full human proofreading yet, you may notice mistakes or odd phrases. If you spot anything that looks off, please let us know! Your feedback will help us improve accuracy and polish over time.
Going forward, we will have these machine-translated languages reviews and refined by a localization studio so they can reach the same quality as our fully localized languages.
The following languages have been added: Dutch, Italian, Spanish (Spain), Polish (Poland), Turkish (Turkey), Danish, Swedish, Russian (Russia), and Korean.
🛠️ Interactable windshield wipers
We’ve also added interactable windshield wipers to Bernhard, Rigid, Density, Archer, Lancer, and Herbert – including multiple wipe zones and speed options for better visibility and immersion.
More wiper features for Willy, Nordic Duchess, and Big Trip are coming in the next update!

As always, your reports help us make Seafarer better for everyone. Thank you for your support and patience!
