 The Ship, The Ship Single Player, and The Ship Tutorial come as three separate library options in Steam.
Windows
All versions require Steam DRM.

Essential improvements

Finding multiplayer games

The master server does not work in game, to get around this follow these steps:

Use Steam's generic server browser[citation needed]
  1. Close the game if it's already running.
  2. On Steam, go to View > Servers.
  3. Click 'CHANGE FILTERS' and change the 'Game' to 'The Ship'.
  4. Hold down shift and select all of the servers in the list.
  5. Right click > Add Server to favorites.
  6. Start The Ship, then go to the server browser and go to the favorites tab.

Notes

Servers in the Steam browser show bots as players. Either check player lists individually or use the in-game favorites tab to see REAL player counts.

Skip intro videos

Use -novid command line argument[citation needed]
