The route network can therefore be corrected and expanded directly on the world map and prepared for later automatic route calculation.
Although this tool is intended exclusively for administration, it forms an important foundation for the entire routing system. Missing or incorrect sea routes can be corrected specifically without working directly in the database.
Alongside the new news and changelog system, this version also introduces important internal tools for the continued development of the world map and route network.
The sea-route tool in particular is a central step for the game's technical foundation. New points and connections can be inspected, created and removed. This makes the routing system easier to maintain and expand deliberately.
The tool is not directly visible to players, but it is essential for stable ship movements, correct routes and the later expansion of the game world.
