Repairing ships is complex work, as you need to fix broken wood and replace bulbs. Most ships will have locked doors, and customers will ask you to get them open to complete the contract.
The correct angle is required for lockpicking, or else the lockpick will shake or break. Once the lockpick is broken, you need to purchase it again from the market using money. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t offer any upgrades or skills for the lockpick to enhance the success ratio in Sunken Engine.
So grab your lockpick and start lockpicking the doors and compartments you see in the ship.

How To Use the Lockpick

The mechanics for unlocking doors are a little bit complex, as you need to get the lockpick in the correct spot.
Some of the iron parts on the ship may be bent. You can use your hammer to straighten them. However, some doors are locked, and customers will pay to open them. Take your lockpick, rotate it, and test if the lock turns completely. If it doesn’t, adjust your angle and try again. Make sure you don’t break the lockpick.
