My ship is lost beyond the border.

[noirdelire]

I'm not used to ship, This is my first serious try wtih them. And I did a mistake, I didn't use buoy. I had just a line going beyond the border, soviet side, taking coal and unload at harbor.

At start it was working, but I have added more ships, I have 10 hoppers now, and it becomes a mess. Ships was jammed everywhere !! My river is 1km large, I thought it would be enought, but no.

So, I set up a new line, with buoy, and it works. Except that there are two ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ships that stay indifinitly beyond the border. They are moving at 14mph, they have no fuel anymore, but they keep going in nowhereland. If I change their shedule, it's say they have no way to reach first stop.

Lost.

What can I do ? Will they get back after a few years ? Is there a way to reset them ? Just pay the bill to destroy them (it's expensive) ?

normaly your ships will sail away and "off" the map and then they will return again.
you dont need to give them a route via a buoy.. But its a good idea to do it so you can control their route a bit.
I dont think your ships are lost, but be a bit patient ships are slow and things take time.
But it should not take years but more like ½-1 month or so once you cannot see the ship anymore before it come back.. They need to sail for quite a while outside the border on the map.
Also you can maybe find your ship in the vehicle list and then see what its doing.
In a worst case scenario maybe you can force it to return to home port.
OR a super trick.. select one of the ships waypoints and then press the yellow arrow two times.. that normaly make road vehicles "teleport" to another location.
some buildings also have a button "saying return all vehicles to home" but that will effect all vehicles connected to that building

ps. dont worry about running out of fuel with ships ( as far as i know ) then they will continue sailing until they reach port.
its been a long time since i use ships but when i used them in 2023 they often run out of fuel but it wasent an issue at all.

They are beyond the border for more than 4 months, now... so I think there is something wrong. When I got the other, some was grounded and they magicaly get back to the river. But those 2 last one doesn't seems to find a way home.

I tried to double click the yellow arrow, but they refuse to teleport. They keep with that message saying they can't reach the place. I also tried to send them to depot, but it doesn't work. I think I'll use cheat mode to get cash and replace them.

Something is wrong, no idea what...

Pirates hijacked your ships.

same problem....ships get lost/stuck beyond border unable to return.....and stupid game mechanic say that u need to pay to sell them /total bullsh.t/.
only ''fix'' that work for now is to replace them /find that ship in vehicle list and use replace button/.
they should relly add ''teleport'' button so u can return ships from bugged positions.

What map you are using guys and maybe where those ships struck?

It is a known bug . Even with 1.0.0.3 it has not been solved
