Only one number on that table has a shelf life: the price.

The tutorial path and progression

The store text describes one onboarding route and one currency of progress. Start with guided tutorials or take on structured missions, then earn credits, expand the fleet and acquire licences.

• Guided tutorials for onboard systems.
• Structured missions for credits.
• Licences that unlock larger vessels.
• Fleet growth from a small harbour operator to a professional captain.

No values are attached to any of those steps, so the cheat sheet records the route rather than a table of costs.

Maps, harbours and the simulated systems

Two maps are named with measurements, and the listing adds over 40 harbours, seamarks and navigation lights. The simulation set is long and specific: propeller torque, bank effect, wind and current drift, anchor behaviour, line tension, hull damage, flooding, mooring and towing.

Onboard, the named tools are radar with AIS and CPA, sonar and radio communication. Weather and sea state run from a day and night cycle to storm fronts, fog, rain, snow and rough seas, with optional real-time weather data on top.

Achievements and languages

Seventy-seven achievements are listed for the app. The API publishes ten names as a highlighted subset, and all ten follow two shapes: mission counts from ten to five thousand, and XP totals.

• 10 Missions done
• 50 Missions done
• 100 Missions done
• 250 Missions done
• 500 Missions done
• 1000 Missions done
• 2500 Missions done
• 5000 Missions done
• 5000 XP gained
• 15000 XP gained

The remaining sixty-seven have no machine-readable names in the API. Nine languages are supported and English is the only one flagged for full audio.

How to use this sheet

Hold on to the platform line, the price snapshot and the two map sizes. Those are the facts that decide whether the sim fits a machine and a budget, and the map sizes are the clearest published signal of how much water there is to learn.

If only one line matters, it is the graphics tier: a dedicated card with at least 8GB of VRAM is the published floor, and that is a higher bar than the storage figure suggests.
