Skipping time option on boat

[lbhgaming]

After having put the lines out , or the nets , or the "crap cages" , and you then turn off the engine of the boat not far from them , and you just sit there alone on the bench looking out the window while watching the big clock on the wall ..........
It is a loooong 15 hours wait .

We need to have the option to skip time (like in the harbour when docked) , when we sit in that cabin . It could be the big clock on the wall that we press "E" on , but we need that option .

Sorry that option is not going to be added in the game

Why is this not going to be added? It comes up ALL THE TIME! Clearly it is something that a significant portion of the players want. And don't say that the game gets too easy with it, becuase that is garbage. I can set my lines, drive my boat in a BIIIIIIIIG circle for 15-20 hours and be right back where I was in a matter of minutes and the only thing that I am out is a bit of fuel that I can easily replenish with my earnings from the trip. Why not cut out the need to set waypoints and zip around and just ad a button? Functionally it is no different, just a quality of life change. At this point, y'all are just being stubborn for stubbornness sake.

Because this game is finished. The devs have moved on to the sequel which is suppose to come out sometime this year.

Finished ?
Perhaps you did not notice how empty it is ?
Or how the AI seems to like to sail up on the land ?
Or how your boat gets broken just by being 5 meters from the dock if you stay too long ?

This game is not finished . Not enough methods to catch fish . Not enough different kinds of fish to catch . Not enough to interact with on your own boat . You can´t even sit with your own crew , because they have their own magic cabin , where you cannot go , and they cannot go to yours .
No . This game is not finished .
I just hope the devs don´t turn into moneygrabbers , as the industry seems to do to devs these days . This game has potential .
You won´t see me buy another game from them , if they cannot finish one .

We can revisit this thread in how ever many months you want to and see if any more content has been added. I agree the game could be a lot more but as I said, the devs are(and have been) working on the sequel to this game. I doubt they will go backwards to an "older" game once the sequel is released.

If it's finished then that is even better. Give it workshop support and let the mod community do their thing. The AI and time skip issues would be fixed in less than a day. Seems awful bold of them to start working on a sequel when they left this one in such shambles.

If they are not going to add a skip time option on the boat , they certainly don´t have time to add a workshop either .

We're not adding time skip on the boats, because it will make the game way to easy, as its short distances to get into the ports!

In our new game we're adding this feature, as the new game has a much bigger map so it will make much more sense.

Mod support is something we plan to add in a future title.

I am forever disappointed to hear the words 'done' being used with any software. That you don't plan or consider maintenance/hotfix type changes to support your fan base over doing future work...is embarrasing.

[Woober]

Sorry to disappoint you, but we have been doing our best to support the game over the last 2 years, but after some serious consideration internally the best way to move forward and do everything you want us to do, was to build a new game mostly from scratch, which we plan to release later this year.

Adding these features that you want, would make Fishing: Barents Sea even less fun, but we promise to make it worth for you all in our new game, which going to be 100 times bigger than FBS!

Always is option to release some kind of patch to add some options.....
Anyway why You don't add info about load capacity? its will be added in future?
Maybe good idea will be added wishlist topic or something....

[imBestefar]

Thanks for the reply Woober, appreciated.

I have to be honest, that's the reason I quit plaing it. My gaming time is already taking too much real life time and it simply not worth it playing a game where I am wasting time by just sitting and waiting and not playing. It doesn't make the game harder or easier, it makes it boring.

[Woober]

There is fast travel, mostly fish habitats are close to Hammerfest so it should be easy to get out setting your gear. We aimed the game to be around 20-30hours of gameplay, we didnt expect people to play over 1000 hours, thats why we're doing our best to add more things in our upcoming game, where you can also sleep on the boat + alot more :)
