Game Mechanics

Devices
CST is currently available on PC and Tablets, and not on Xbox or phones.

Tablet support was added September 2019. It is recommended that you use a device built in the last several years, anything with less than 1GB of ram will probably not load the game.

Saves and such
These following numbers pretty much determine max ship sizes and number of ship slots per save. Yet you can have many many save slots.

WIP save data system:

Customized Raven (No NPCs)        14,336 bytes

Customized Raven (57 NPCs)        15,814 bytes

Customized Albatross (No NPCs)    35,614 bytes

Customized Albatross (318 NPCs)    40,130 bytes

Max datastore size: 260,000 bytes

When deleting a save slot you will get several prompts that you need to actively confirm before you can move on to the final prompt and have the save deleted for good.

The game saves automatically on exit

Ingame Settings
You can find the Settings tab at the lower right on your screen once you loaded into the game.

Settings
You can then find another Settings tab at the top of the GUI that shows on your screen. It has several toggable options to help you optimize your game performance experience. Music volume - you can adjust ingame music volume with this slider Render distance - you can adjust the render distance from 1,000 to 5,000

NPC render quality - the slider lets you choose from the following options: No - Bad - Meh - Decent - Good - Butter

Note that if your device can handle it, there is actually no good reason to go beyond Good.

The following come with toggable On and Off options:
Prop wash - The bubbles behind your ship Show other ship - (speaks for itself)

Dynamic ship internals - Hide objects in your ship when out of view: if you want to view those objects set it to off Fancy shadows - Very GPU heavy - (speaks for itself)

Show wave particles - (speaks for itself but if you are not sure its those neat little waves you can see in the water around your ship)

Feedback
You can provide constructive feedback, suggestions or report bugs directly in game using the Feedback tab.

Tutorial
CST offers an easy to follow ingame tutorial which pops up the first time you join a CST server. If you wanted to redo the tutorial, you can find it in Help at the lower right of your screen.

The tutorial will take you through a few step to get your first ship going. After that you are welcome to continue to customize your ship in any way that suits you and lets you make more money.

Cash Buying Option
If you wanted to top up your ingame money somewhat, there is a Buy Cash button located at the bottom right on your screen. Once you hit that, you can see the different amounts of ingame cash you can buy using Robux.

The following chart shows details:

$5,000 = R$5

$11,000 = R$10

$60,000 = R$50

$130,000 = R$100

$700,000 = R$500

$1,500,000 = R$1,000
