• A thing I've recently noticed is that the lifeboat stations also produce coastal missions as well as the ocean ones. So I'm currently getting a medical emergency on a beach in central London!


    Is there a way to add a specialisation type for either coastal or ocean to prevent this. This then can mean dedicated lifeguard stations and dedicated lifeboats etc

    Go into the building edit and set your mission spawn area for calls. drag the icon out into the water so that the edge of your circle is on the beach and the rest it in the ocean. We have asked that the option be given to have that call radius in the form of an square or rectangle for things just like this... then the edge of your area would be along the beach. Developers have not said no, but have not changed it yet..

  • I understand that, however I have set the call radius as small as possible for the 2 lifeboat stations on the river Thames. Although there are beaches somewhere of the calls that spawn are not legit for the locality. If I was to drag it away then I'd have no missions spawn on the thames

    Correct....nothing can be done to change that until they consider giving us the ability to changes the shape of the "spawn area". The way it was explained, regardless of where you put stations the game can't differentiate between land and water. Before I adjusted mine, I had boats in distress in the middle of the National Forest with no water for miles.......no wonder they were in distress.....stupid boat owners!!

    The fact that they can't code to differentiate water and land, even with the OSM data available is a bit yikes
