In the version before I only activated the ships after they got towed (to avoid checking for docks on all ships all the time), but that meant that if you only pushed a ship into the docks it wouldn't trigger any $$$. So I added that ships were activated by pushing as well, but clearly I didn't check if the ships already was docked, meaning pushing docked ships was a gold mine. Thanks to your early feedback I was able to fix it before the deadline :)","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":987281,"author_name":"Kaimon","author_uid":"kaimon","epoch":1696265114,"text":"Great game, you managed to make a lot with less and that's quite clever !
