May 11, 2026 - Patch Notes

Hello operators,

Today's update brings several popular community-requested features to Docked, such as support for Logitech's Heavy Equipment Bundle, joystick support, and Free Play Mode (v1)!

Free Play Mode (v1):

Introducing v1 of Free Play Mode! The plan for this much-requested mode is to develop it in stages so we can collect feedback and make adjustments with each iteration we release. This new gamemode provides a dedicated environment for operators looking to fulfill large-scale orders, allowing them to manage cargo without the constraints of mission objectives or time pressure. Free Play is designed for operators to refine their skills, explore the port at their own pace, and engage with the various machinery in a sandbox setting.

Key elements of Free Play Mode (v1):

  • Accessible from the start, no unlock required.

  • Operators have access to a new handheld tablet to manage and monitor the cargo plan in real time. No more loading in and out of menus!

  • Operators  fulfill the cargo plan by loading and unloading containers between the ship, the yard, and the train.

  • Operators have access to the STS Crane, Reach Stacker, Straddle Carrier, Terminal Tractor, and RTG Crane.

  • Operators can save mid-way through a mission to continue their work from where they left off.

  • Operators can change time and weather through the new handheld tablet. 

  • Operators can focus strictly on machinery operations and ignore economic constraints.

We look forward to reading your feedback as we continue to improve and expand Free Play Mode.

Note: operators with customized steering wheel controls should reset their input settings to default before continuing play in order to prevent gameplay issues after the control logic updates.

You can expect further updates to the yard in the near future.

Thank you for your continued support,

— Team Docked
