Nivalis Nights districts, taxis, trains and boats

Update #8 (November 6) adds a setting to hide transit quest markers. With it on, trains and taxis stop showing quest markers for places you have visited and can fast travel to, except pinned quests. Pinned quests also take priority on the compass when it cannot show every quest, and boat positions on the map are fixed for 4:3 screens. These are the developer’s notes; Kingy has not tested them.

In one launch-week community recording the boat comes from the Seafaring quest: Karel Crabface Jones in the Docks offers the captainless Putter, the tracker sends you to Salt Pete, then Take the Wheel and Discover a new area with your boat. That run reaches the Sewers and ends with Return to Salt Pete. Prices and any earlier prerequisite are not shown.

The August 7 overview distinguishes HOVA taxis serving nearby districts (about 0:29–0:36) from metro hubs forming a city-wide network (about 0:37–0:45). Its boat segment follows at about 0:46–0:56. Use this distinction when planning a trip; it does not establish which option is fastest or cheapest on a specific route.

The boat narration points toward befriending people who know the docks. At 0:55 the footage shows a conversation with Karel Crabface Jones in the Docks, but the excerpt does not show a completed boat unlock. Treat this as an exploration lead, not a verified quest sequence, price or dialogue solution.

The September 11 tourist-map announcement shares a brochure of key areas and activities. Follow its source link to view the original images. It is useful orientation material, but it is not a verified set of coordinates or a route to every vendor.

Fares, schedules, exact station names, boat acquisition steps and location unlocks still need testing. The district descriptions above are not a complete map of all explorable areas.

New fast-travel options reach owned venues and greenhouses in the district. Fares and unlock routes remain untested.
