@pegge49 The Jeremiah O'Brien came all the way from San Francisco for that anniversary. Were you out on the water for this, or watching from the shore?

@itsnex1s The slow start is the best bit. Does the ship keep drifting for a while when the sails come down again, or does it stop right away?

@zackontopx @threejs When the boat heels over in that weather, does anything move below deck? A mug sliding along the chart table would sell it.

@kiwasakik Snow on a harbour town is a nice start. Is the tram the only way around, or do the little boats carry people across too?

@lotsman_jan Sisters leaving DDN together and side by side again in Antwerp. Leaving back to back like that, do you just follow the Adele out in line, or hang back until she's clear of the Maasmond?

Draw a line, the ship follows. Turning her is the tugs' job.

All of it from a playtest this week, nothing scripted. #indiedev #gamedev

@Jbn3ex Good to know, thanks. So when is Dutch Harbor at its busiest? Pollock season in winter?

@EPERiley Mud showing at low tide and a ship still finding its way out down the middle. Any idea what it was? From that shape it could be a small tanker or a dredger.

@tom_lyra Going out to a ship in this, or heading home after they called off boarding for the day?

@BartGonnissen 7,000 launches a year is about nineteen a day, in whatever the North Sea is doing. How long does a pilot usually wait on the Wandelaar before their ship turns up?

Never tell a ship to stand by.

We made our test bot ignore the radio for nine minutes. The ships kept coming.

@Nanago_Pz7 Parcel trains at passenger platforms, like in the old days. Does the cargo then go on by truck from the station?

[Port Control @portcontrolgame]

@highwaysandco Part 6 already. Which design has held up best so far, and which one jammed when you didn't expect it?

[Port Control @portcontrolgame]

@kristianlobo1 A clip-on lens on a phone from 450 m, and you can still pick out the scaffolding. Where do you stand to get that view?

@GeoffreyWatson2 Fifteen years laid up in Lisbon, and her last trip is at the end of a tow line. Where was the first photo taken?

Parking a 300 m ship is the easy part. Then three cranes unload it into the yard, faster than the IGVs can take the boxes away, until the yard is full. Your call: more IGVs, or a bigger yard? From the makers of Rail Route.

@postcard13 Killoran with every sail furled and Samaria going past in a cloud of smoke. Any idea where it was taken?
