The ocean is no longer just a barrier… it is your battlefield, your kingdom, your legend in the making.

Naval Ascension: Sailing Ships reimagines maritime gameplay, rebuilding simple rafts into bases for fully realized warships, trading vessels, and floating fortresses. Every plank you place and every sail you raise brings you closer to mastering the open sea.

Build Without Limits

Command your own Sailing Ship, a powerful upgrade over the standard raft, designed for large-scale construction and performance.

Expanded building space across all axes
All items are crafted in the Shipyard
Faster movement than the base raft
Integrated weapon group system
Ship bell for immersive control (R key / gamepad supported)
Ability to scare away Leedsichthys (X key / gamepad supported)

With the Shipbase, you gain the structural freedom to construct ships that feel like true seafaring vessels rather than simple platforms.

Customize Your Ship

A ship reflects its captain.

24 Figureheads ranging from mythical creatures to symbolic designs
Sails available in multiple sizes and configurations (full, reefed, with or without rope)
16 sail designs inspired by bosses or full/striped painting (designs are paintable)
Steering Wheel variants: Bone, Crab, Hydra, Octopus, Shark, and Basic Whether you prefer a clean merchant vessel or an intimidating warship, you can define your identity on the water.

Naval Combat System

Equip your ship for battle and take control of the seas. Weapons can be assigned to directional groups (front, back, left, right) for tactical combat:

Ship Cannon – High damage against wooden structures
Ship Catapult – Effective against stone defenses
Ship Ballista – Designed for combat against creatures All weapons simulate crew operation and can be controlled manually or from the steering wheel. With the Ammo Storage, weapons reload automatically as long as ammunition is available.

Utility and Decoration

Enhance both function and atmosphere on your ship:

The steering wheel used for navigation, targeting, and raft features is freely placeable on your ship
Anchors, decorative storage, and treasure props
Items such as gold statues, sextants, and spyglasses These elements allow you to create ships that feel practical and immersive.

Take Control of the Seas!

Whether you are building a trading fleet, a pirate vessel, or a warship, Naval Ascension: Sailing Ships provides the tools to expand your gameplay beyond land. Build larger. Sail faster. Fight smarter. Your journey begins on the water.

To build big vessels you need to adjust these settings in the GameUserSettings.ini

Adjust the values to any number you want for Structures and Bounds. X10 is for medium/small boats. x25 for big boats. x50 for epic massive ships. (And don't go higher than 22 for train cars. Trust me).
