Plan your next Ship Graveyard Simulator 2 session
Our independent guide examines the core mechanics of Ship Graveyard Simulator 2, focusing on tool selection, crane logistics, material prioritization, safety awareness, and cooperative play. By observing how each element interacts, you can refine your workflow without relying on undocumented shortcuts.
01 / THE GUIDE
Tool Impact Observation
Apply the hammer to a steel beam and the torch to an aluminum sheet. Note the time taken and the amount of usable fragment produced, then decide which tool suits each material in future tasks.
- Try the hammer on a steel plate and the torch on an aluminum panel to see which yields more usable fragments.
- Notice how the torch’s heat affects copper components compared to the hammer’s impact.
02 / THE GUIDE
Crane Path Planning
Before lifting a large engine, sketch the crane’s swing arc and container placement. Adjust the layout to minimize movement steps, reducing the time spent repositioning heavy parts.
- Plan the crane’s swing path before lifting a heavy engine to reduce repositioning.
- Position the large container near the crane to streamline storage after each lift.

03 / THE GUIDE
Material Yield Comparison
When a new ship arrives, list its steel, aluminum, and copper yields. Compare these numbers with your current inventory needs to choose the ship that best aligns with your production goals.
- Review the material breakdown of each incoming ship before starting demolition.
- Select ships whose material yields match the resources you need most at the moment.
04 / THE GUIDE
Hazard Detection Routine
Enter a newly accessed ship area and record any visual signs of gas leaks, exposed wiring, or toxic fumes. Create a quick checklist to verify safety before beginning any demolition work.
- Keep a helmet equipped when approaching any large ship module.
- Watch for visual cues like flickering lights or gas hiss to spot hazards early.
05 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Role Allocation
In a multiplayer session, assign one player to crane operation, another to handheld tools, and a third to material collection. Observe how clear role division influences overall project speed and efficiency.
- Assign one player to operate the crane while others focus on handheld tools for smoother coordination.
- Use online co‑op to tackle the largest ship categories that would be difficult solo.
