Dredge V1.5.3

The headline of the patch notes for v1.5.3 was the correction of a key bug that had been plaguing some players: . This powerful item, when exploited, could break the game's balance. The developers at Black Salt Games not only fixed the issue preventing the duplication but also provided a clean-up method for those who had already unknowingly created multiple anchors. The official notes advised players to clean up any excess by deploying them at sea via the inventory and selecting the "Cast Overboard" option, then saving and quitting. Upon reloading, only one anchor would remain.

Without the v1.5.3 hotfix, many players faced progression roadblocks because un-clearable ooze pockets halted construction tiers and prevented the capture of mutated anomalous fish types. By restoring the cleanup triggers in Twisted Strand and Stellar Basin, Black Salt Games ensured players can comfortably max out their ship upgrades and complete the corporate questline smoothly.
