Lugger Lugger 10x Planks, 20x Iron 10 days 36 Resource 4 x 1 3.0 Docks at Large Harbour

Expeditions

On some maps you'll run out of room or resources and you'll need to explore the seas to set up a new colony on a distant island.

Collect Resources

To be able to build a new Harbour on another island you first need to collect the construction resources at an existing Harbour via the Expedition panel.

Assign Boat

Once all the resources have been collected at your Harbour you can then assign a Clipper to the expedition. Select any newly constructed boat, select 'Assign Expedition' and the boat will travel to the harbour to collect the Expedition resources.

Exploring

Once the stackbots have loaded all the expedition resources onto the boat, it is ready to sail! Now when you select the boat it will automatically enter manual navigation mode. This means you can left-click on any water tile and the boat will sail to it.

Build New Harbour

As you sail around the seas you'll discover new land. When you decide on a shore you'd like to set up a new colony, select 'Build Harbour' and you'll be able to select a location for the new harbour to be constructed. Once you place the harbour, the boat will unload resources from the Expedition to construct the harbour.

Large Harbours

Expeditions can also be started at a Large Harbour but note that the resources collected will be for construction of a new Large Harbour and so the only boat that can be assigned to the expedition is the Lugger.
