Will the game have potential romance/marriage options?
Since the Foundation Update, you are able to improve your relationship with the crew members! You can improve your relationship with the crew members by helping them to settle on the Cursed Islands and decorate their houses with decoration and furniture of their favorite styles! However, there is no romance or marriage between the characters.
How far can you go in doing stuff like farming?
Farming is important on the remote islands to ensure the survival and satisfaction of the crew in the camp. There are different plants to cultivate and by exploring you will discover new seeds. However, the game does not focus solely on farming as we’ll send you on various adventurous explorations and quests! But is still important to get all ingredients for the food you need to cook.
Is there going to be a stamina or schedule system that limits what you can do in a day?
Yes! There is a day and night rhythm with action and recovery phases. These phases must not be observed but it is encouraged by mechanics that it is done because it allows a more efficient energy balance. In addition, cooking plays a major role as your energy status will increase or decrease at different rates depending on your diet.
Are there ways to make farming more efficient?
Yes, there will be ways to make farming (e.g. watering) more efficient in the course of the game.
Is there going to be a coop mode?
The game is released without coop mode because we want to create the most enjoyable single-player experience.

Is Stranded Sails mainly a farming sim, an adventure, or both?
Stranded Sails is a mix between adventure game and farming sim. But at its core, it focuses more on the adventure part. Farming is there to prepare yourself for the next expedition.
