🎣 IdleWaters: take your server deeper together

One server, one boat, and an ocean that never ends. Take turns casting, upgrade your vessel, and discover what waits beneath the surface.

⚓ How it plays

An admin runs /setup and picks a channel. A persistent panel appears — that panel is the game. No commands to memorise, no walls of text.

1. 🎣 Cast the line. Every cast drags the boat a little deeper.
2. 🐟 Land something. Fish sell for coins. Junk gets salvaged into boat parts.
3. 🛠️ Upgrade the boat. Better hulls, sonar, rods and reels reach deeper water.
4. 💰 Reap the rewards. Deeper water means rarer species and better payouts.

🤝 Built for a crew. A shared cooldown keeps casts coordinated, and whoever cast last waits for someone else to take a turn.

🕒 Sailing solo? A 15-minute fallback lets you cast again, but a crew that shows up together descends far faster.

🌊 Descend forever

Explore eleven handcrafted zones, each with its own species, colours and character:

• 🏖️ The Shallows
• 🌿 Kelp Forest
• 🪸 Coral Reef
• 🌊 Open Ocean
• 🌒 The Twilight Zone
• 🦑 The Deep
• 🕳️ Abyssal Trench
• ⚫ Hadal Depths
• 🏛️ Sunken Ruins
• 🌀 The Maelstrom
• 🐉 Leviathan's Lair — 20,000m

🗺️ Beyond the Map. Past the final zone, procedural tiers keep generating forever. Depth is infinite, so your crew always has somewhere deeper to go.

📖 Fill your Fishdex. Every species your crew catches is recorded in your server's collection, with credit to whoever discovered it first.

⛈️ World events: one ocean, every server

Nine global weather and sea events affect every server at the same time. When The Great Storm rolls in, it rolls in for everyone.

🌟 Six boons

• Feeding Frenzy
• Great Migration
• Calm Seas
• High Tide
• Bioluminescent Bloom
• Shipwreck Surfaced

Boons boost catch rates, multiply payouts or bring richer catches within reach.

⚠️ Three risks

• The Great Storm — snaps lines outright.
• Red Tide — spoils the catch.
• Fog Bank — blinds your sonar.

Every server's panel displays the same coloured event banner, so your crew always knows what the sea is doing.

🧲 Salvage rigs and automation

Reach The Deep at 1,200m to build a Salvage Rig, unlocking a second button, a second activity and another economy alongside fishing.

🔩 Drop the magnet. Dredge up junk, valuable coin scrap and, occasionally, a rare Relic.

⚙️ Build your electronics. Spend Relics on a tech tree featuring magnet strength, winch motors, electromagnets, metal detectors and GPS arrays.

🤖 Automate your salvage. Unlock the ROV Drone and Battery Bank to collect junk while nobody is playing, ready to claim on your next cast.

⭐ Level up your angler

The boat belongs to the crew. Your level belongs to you.

Every cast and magnet drop earns personal XP, unlocking skill points for your own progression tree:

• 🎯 Precision
• 💪 Casting Arm
• ⏳ Patience
• 🍀 Fortune
• 🧲 Salvager
• 🌊 Ocean Mastery — endless progression for anglers who want to keep growing.

Personal bonuses help you contribute more to the crew, while shared boat upgrades remain the biggest driver of progress.

📅 Built for the long voyage. Fully training the skill tree takes over a year of steady play.

🏆 Compete beyond your server

Three leaderboards give every crew and angler something to chase:

• 🚢 Deepest boats — compete against servers across the world.
• 🎣 Top anglers — climb the global player rankings.
• 🤝 Crew standings — see how you stack up within your own server.
