I like this game much better than the first train valley game.

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo is tacking possible?

You can sail against the wind when you get a triangular sail if you make a good boat for it, but I think it is a lot harder than in real life with a good sailboat. The default boat layouts aren't too great so it is important to experiment a little and build them yourself. You will pickup new parts on the islands so it will be easier to build a good boat later on. When I am tacking and sail at an angle against the wind and want to turn I tend to turn too far. How much depends on the boat, but if I want to turn 90 degrees then I tend to turn 135-150 instead. If I have enough room then this isn't too bad, but it is not acceptable when there are too many obstacles close by.

It is far easier to not tack at all. If it fits then I either use quadratic sail and follow the wind, or use triangular sail and sail almost directly toward the middle or toward the outer part of the uncovered area. I also have jets so I can use that as an alternative to tacking to go against the wind. I always combine this with a triangular sail so I can still navigate when I run out of energy. The energy is refilled at each proper island so I can land frequently to refill it more often. I also get energy from jellyfish when I pass them.

I have no issue with building or sailing any more. Square sail for going with the wind and triangular sail to sail at an angle. Just unlocked propeller, but I haven't figured out how to reliably get enough energy from jellyfish and other sources yet.I expect it will let me go directly against the wind when I figure it out. It is more challenging until you get the triangular sail though. I recommend pickup up all ship parts on all islands you visit or pass by and don't sail too far out in the storm.

Don't forget that you can buy it directly from them as well.

It is looking great. I just hope gameplay will be great as well.

I have bought it, and am downloading it, but I don't have much time at the moment so might be a few days before I start playing it.

From what I have seen on youtube I am not worried about replayability for various reason. One reason is that the order you unlock technologies in the research tree is partially randomized. Different techs probably mean different playstyle. There also are different settings for starting a new game that affect you in various ways, so rather than having a balanced start, you could experiment with increasing the difficulty of some aspects while making other aspects easier. I also think that free patches and DLCs might help as well.

After watching some youtube videos of the game I feel that this game will be quite fun, so I bought it.

The still images reminds me a bit about the hammerware games goodfolks and family farm although when I watch part of a let's play, it doesn't remind me of them as much any more. I am definitely going to buy this when I have time to play.
