Hardware Equipment
Hardware equipment must be installed onto the boat using in-game time, in the appropriate slot. The four categories of hardware equipment are Engines, Rods and Talismans, Trawl Nets, and Lights. The player has limited slots and must strategically place these components in their slots to best equip their boat for their current task. Hardware Equipment can be acquired by purchasing them from the Shipwright or Travelling Merchant (Shipyard), completing Rock Slab puzzles, from completing Pursuits, or from searching shipwrecks.
