Patch Notes - 1.0.6.3.4ea876f (11th December 2017)
Today’s release sees the main branch updated with the new procedural generation system. This was previously released on a separate branch, check out the patch notes for all the updates and bug fixes that were included. If you moved over to the proc gen branch, then you can transfer back over to the main branch once the update is live. You’ll be able to import your save file and this time your map will not be regenerated. If you’ve never tried out the proc gen branch, then once the update goes live you will still be able to load existing save files, but you will see some changes: your chart will regenerate and you will be moved to the New Winchester starting area. However, you will not lose any progress you have made on that character. Prospects and Bargains! Also included in this update is our new trading system: Prospects and Bargains. Head over to New Winchester and visit the Promise of Days club at Wolvesey station. Here you can learn all you need to know from seasoned sky captains. Once you’ve picked up a couple of tidbits, then open the Bazaar and start wheeling and dealing. If you’d like a live demonstration of the Prospects and Bargains system then check out our live stream where our Narrative Director, Chris, explains the ins and outs of trading in the High Wilderness. Bugs There are a couple of Known Issues with Prospects and Bargains that we didn’t have time to fix, and some we deliberately deferred until a future update. We made this decision as we want to make a wider change that will incorporate those fixes but this will take some time. Specifically, if you have your Possessions or Hold interfaces open when you accept Prospects or pick up Bargains, then they do not update until they are closed and reopened. This was an existing issue we fixed a couple of updates ago, but the problem is also present in the new Bazaar interface. We made the decision to defer these bug fixes until the next update so that we can implement a feedback change alongside it: we will be adding your Sovereigns to the shop and Bazaar interfaces! Have fun trading and please let us know what you think on the feedback thread on trade. Directions Alongside Prospects and Bargains we’ve added a feature that will allow us to give directions towards ports. Currently the only quest using this is the starting quest to Port Prosper, but we’ll be implementing this feature across a range of storylets in the future. Directions are based on a 16-point compass (north, north-northeast, northeast, etc.) and are always given from the position of the region’s hub port no matter where you are in the High Wilderness. If the port in question is in the inner ring then it will be ‘some way’ from the hub port; if it is in the outer ring then it will be a ‘long way’ from the hub, e.g. Port Prosper is a long way north of New Winchester.
* Prospects and Bargains * Directions * The Fastidious Inspector quest has been reactivated now that directions are in game * Because the Fastidious Inspector quest is active again, we’ve once again reduced the number of Sovereigns handed out in the A Gift for New Captains storylet when starting a new character * A number of shops from previous builds have been retired and new ones are in place with Fuel, Supplies and the port’s export good
* Loot can now be collected from Enduring Dreadnaughts * The + and - icons within shop interfaces now update correctly when buying and selling multiples

It is the dawn of the 20th century, and London has taken to the stars! As the captain of a spacefaring locomotive you'll behold wonders and battle cosmic abominations in the furthest heavens. Stake your claim. Fight to survive. Speak to storms. Murder a sun. Face judgement.
Ten years have passed since Sunless Sea, and Queen Victoria has led an exodus from London to the heavens. There, a revitalised British Empire - ambitious and authoritarian - begins to expand across the skies.
The stars are alive. They are the Judgements: vast intelligences that govern all things. But they are dying. One by one, something is snuffing them out, leaving their thrones empty. An opportunistic Victorian Empire is colonising the domains they leave behind, painting its industrial vision upon the fabric of the heavens.

- Travel between distant ports, unravelling stories, bearing passengers and news, and trading in exotic celestial cargoes.
- Your every foray into space is as precarious as a Polar expedition. You’ll need to balance your resources carefully and keep an eye on your crew’s Terror to avoid mutiny and death.
- Your captain's actions could tip the precarious political balance of a region. Will you run guns for the Independents? Or spies for the Empire? Choose wisely – your decisions will affect the story; not just for yourself, but for your future captains as well.
- Leave your mark on the universe, and be marked in return. When you are creating your captain, every decision is a story, and every story has a consequence.
- Equip your vessel as you see fit. Would you benefit more from reinforced armour plating, or the additional manpower allowed by external crew pods? ("Soundproof! Cosy! Detachable!")
- It is not safe in the skies. A captain will need to defend themselves against pirates, scorn-flukes, the Cyst of Faces, and worse.
- Recruit a gallery of unpredictable characters to crew your locomotive as First Officer, Chief Engineer, Signaller, or Surgeon. Each brings their own skills and stories to your adventures.
