View source for Pier

== Overview ==

The Pier allows construction, repair and crew management of a [[Ships|ship]]. Only 1 ship can be built per Pier. Once advanced ship types are unlocked, Docked ships can be upgraded to a higher level than their current level.

Docked ships will be restocked to a full supply and can be repaired in the Pier menu. Ship repairs will need the same materials used in its construction.

You can upgrade a ship into any ship type of a higher level than its current level. Upgrading the ship will unassign all crew and convert them into [[Pirates|Drifters]].

The Pier has an internal storage for any kind of loot. Docking ships will instantly transfer their cargo into this storage. [[Pirates|Fetchers]] from other [[Buildings]] can be assigned to gather [[Resources]] from the storage. For [[Resources|Raid Goods]], this is the only way to distribute them across the island.

== Tips & Strategies ==

* Having a [[Warehouse]] nearby with all those items will make repairs happen almost instantly and reduce your ship's idle time.
* Upgrading and immediately canceling the new ship is a workaround of unassigning Crew manually, which would cost [[Cohesion]].
