[[Whiskers]] can explore the ocean, fish in the deep sea, and fight naval battles against attackers. Nautical activies start in the mid-game and bring with it benefits and dangers, from uncapped resource gathering options to the need to defend your islands.

== Take to the sea ==
Once you've [[Research Lab|researched]] Tier 1, you have a random chance of discovering a lone sailor in desperate need of assistance in the winter. If you choose to rescue him, it will trigger a spiral of consequences which will see you come into possession of schematics containing the vital secrets to shipbuilding.

Ships are capital assets requiring heavy investment to construct but can be freely reassigned between docks. There are 3 ship types, including combat ships and boats that can act as fast ferries.

=== Naval Resources ===
[[File:nautical update boat.png|right|500px]]
With your first ships, you'll be able to explore the open ocean to uncover valuable points of interest, including Guano Rocks, Fishing Spots, and Sunken Ships rich with salvage to collect.

You'll also be able to trade, fish, and harvest guano to fuel your industry. Leverage the bounty of the ocean with uncapped resources through trading and open ocean resource nodes, such as guano farming on Guano Rocks for unlimited [[Resources|Fertilizer]] and industrial scale [[fishing]] in the deep sea.

You can also fulfill requests from the [[Pirates]], which in turn will buy your colony periods of protection from Pirate raids. In doing so, the Pirates' pressure on the [[Claws]] will increase, until it reaches a boiling point and the Claws establish an anti-pirate corps. From there, by currying favor from the Claws, you'll gain the means to build a fighting navy.

Late game ship gameplay is focused on maximizing Guano harvests, selling cargo to other colonies at better rates than the smuggler, importing basic resources to feed your industry, exporting finished goods at twice what the smuggler pays, and ultimately eliminating every Pirate island.

=== Naval Dangers ===
There are a number of situational dangers to be found on the ocean, and the most pressing is the constant requirement to eat. [[Whiskers]] need food both on shore and at sea -- but on the open ocean, there are no berries to pick. Instead, you must pack your own canned food to survive, because if you run out of food and your sailors and officers will starve.

Should your ships arrive at their home dock in one piece, the ship's crew will unload the spoils and bury any dead. On the off chance the ship sunk, the carried cargo will be left floating in the ocean as salvage and any survivors will row home in the emergency lifeboat.

Keeping your crew alive is vital, as not just any Whisker can crew a ship. Only Whiskers with the new [[Traits|skills]] of Sailor or Officer can set sail. Larger ships require Officers & Sailors, while smaller ships can make do with only Sailors. Whiskers with Sailor and Officer skills will slowly and randomly become available in Whisker ships, but their skills carry a heavy cost. As with other Skills, nautical skills can be taught to other Whiskers using the [[School]].

=== Naval Combat ===
A fighting navy brings with it the opportunity to fight, both in naval combat against other ships or by storming islands themselves. You can attack Pirate islands to eliminate them permanently, but your islands can also be attacked.

In order to defend your colony, you will need to build Cannon Towers and Defensive Walls. Cannon bombardment is simulated, so walls and terrain defense provide functional protection based on height and line of fire obstacles. Similarly, all ships are simulated with open ocean pathing, so a maze of cannon towers can force attacking ships to navigate through a chokepoint and flip the odds in your favor.

This is the last Warehouse to be unlocked and it is the grandmaster of storage with a price tag to match. It has no peers in its massive cost of planks which will take your builders a bit of time to even deliver the materials. It is also impressive in its physical size, being 2 tiles longer and 1 tile higher than the [[Large Warehouse]]. Despite the imposition on space and resources, this behemoth can hold more than 2.5 times that off a Large Warwhouse or almost 7 times that of a Medium Warehouse.

If you can find places for these monolithic storage structures, you can almost begin to forget about your storage woes forever. Just be careful to not turn these warehouses into a storage junk drawer by not using any filters or storage limits. Your Whiskers might just find it easier to toss everything into this Warehouse rather than put it into any neatly filtered warehouses you were using before.

The conveyor input is once again located on the back of the warehouse, opposite the front entrance.

This is the 4th warehouse you will unlock and it is a giant leap forward in terms of storage capacity. Holding a bit more than 2.5 times the [[Medium Warehouse]], it will start to end your storage concerns.

Good storage options for this Warehouse are the goods you are most likely to have in great quantities like logs, stones, fuel, etc. It may also be a great candidate to hold multiple goods at once. Don't forget to set storage space limits for each of those goods though.

The Large Warehouse is only a bit larger in its dimensions than the Medium Warehouse, only really extending its length by one additional tile. When built, it will appear 3 floors in height, but like many buildings, this is just a visual deception. The entirety of what appears to be the third floor can be built upon. This means it is effectively the same height as the Small and Medium Warehouse and may fit more readily into existing colony design plans.

The conveyor input for this Warehouse is located on the 2nd floor, opposite of the entrance.

An institution where Whiskers can teach others their skills.

A Whisker placed in the first slot of this building can "teach" their relevant expertise to all other Whiskers present in the school.

Teachers in the school can do the following:

*Convert other Whiskers to their guild
*Teach others to be an apprentice
*Teach others to be a craftmaster (will first teach apprentice before craftmaster if needed)
*Teach others to be a scholar

You may wish to set the teaching filter before assigning a teacher to help find available teachers and ensure you don't accidentally teach the wrong thing.

Once students have completed their training, they will be automatically unassigned from the school and become builders.

Schools will display the "no workers" red icon whether nobody is assigned to the school or if there are just no students.

Schools are vital to reshaping your workforce as needed. Do take care in teaching your Whiskers as anything besides changing their guild will permanently increase their expectations and cannot be undone. There is no advantage to Whiskers having specialties unless you need it for a building requirement. That is, a craft master in a regular slot will function just like any other untrained Whisker.

The Blast Furnace is required to smelt iron ore into either iron bars or steel bars. This building has a much larger footprint than the Ore Furnace, but otherwise functions similarly.

Before you excitedly construct the Blast Furnace to finally begin melting down iron ore, do consider that it also produces an enormous amount of air pollution. You should construct this far from and downwind from your colony.

This building, like other furnaces, does not need to be heated during winter, as its operation is sufficient to keep the building warm. It will not substitute for a proper heater for your industrial buildings.

The first recipe available to the Blast Furnace is to make iron bars. 5 iron bars will be produced at the cost of 2 fuel and 1 iron ore. This makes the Blast Furnace more fuel intensive than its Ore Furnace counterpart. You may need additional fuel production either via Charcoal Furnaces or a Sifting Tower processing coal to support the additional demand.

Iron bars are used in late game research and later game construction projects (e.g., rail systems, steam systems). Unlike the lucrative iron ore from whence it was made, The Claw will not accept iron bars to pay taxes. This likely will not be a concern at this point in the game, but something you may wish to consider if you're reliant on iron ore to pay the bills.

Because iron bars cannot be sold, it is a good idea to set a production limit on them to preserve fuel and iron ore. The Blast Furnace will likely outpace your research consumption of iron bars, so you shouldn't need a large stockpile.

Near the end of the game, an additional recipe to produce steel can be researched. 5 steel bars cost 1 iron ore, 1 coal, and 2 fuel to produce. This is extremely energy intensive because a single coal can produce 21 fuel in the Sifting Tower. Steel bars are used in late game recipes but are not needed for additional research. Like iron bars, nobody purchases steel bars. As such, production limits are encouraged here too.

The catalyst for the Blast Furnace is the fire tongs. These are produced at the Copper Smith at the cost of bronze ingots. Using this catalyst at the Blast Furnace should be carefully considered in the context of bronze supply and needed production speed.

A fast way to send whiskers up or out, requires steam to be connected to it for it to function.

The Whisker Launcher is placed instantly without the need for any construction time. It requires a destination to be set before Whiskers will use it. The further the destination is set, the more steam each use will consume. For example, a close range jump may consume 2 steam per use while a max range may consume 9.

The maximum horizontal range is 8 tiles starting at but not including the red sqaure. The Whisker Launcher will not send a Whisker careening down more than 3 tiles of elevation from its current position. The maximum height of a jump appears to be 10 tiles.

This is an extremely fast way to move whiskers up in elevation at the cost of steam. If it is the fastest path available to a whisker, they will take it. Care should be taken in using the Whisker Launcher in a high traffic area as it can quickly deplete piped steam and fuel.

The piped steam input is located directly on top of the steam tank.

The Civic Office grants you the ability to have one more policy active at a time. You can build as many as you would like, but any more than 7 will give you more policy slots than there are available to activate right now.

There is an Achievement to have 8 policies active at the same time. You will need to build 6 Civic Offices to accomplish this Achievement.

Despite having an entrance, Whiskers are not assigned to these buildings. Once constructed, the additional policy slot is immediately available and will stay that way as long as the building stands.

While it is powerful to activate more policies, do remember that they cost approval and you could run out before the end of the work day with so many active.

The Town Hall is your first government building. It gives you access to enacting and abolishing powerful policies that can do everything from improve resource collecting to allowing you to produce trinkets for The Claw.

Once constructed, clicking on the building will give you access to the policy screen where you can enact and abolish policies at your discretion. The Town Hall allows you the ability to have up to 2 policies active at one time. So choose wisely. You will only be able to activate more policies if you build [[Civic Office]]s.

This building has one of the larger building footprints and its cost is high for the early game. It will represent one of your first major accomplishments in the early game. Constructing it is part of the initial tutorial quests to guide you towards a successful playthrough.

The Ore Furnace is used to turn ores into ingots. You will need this building to smelt copper, bronze (copper + tin), and gold. This building is the gateway to the mid-game as copper ingots are required for all research passed this point.

Ore Furnaces can only produce one of their recipes at a time. Only refining copper ore will be available at first until further research is completed. You will want 1 Ore Furnace per available recipe. You may construct more, but the limited supplies of both copper ore and gold ore should not demand more of these unless you've found some rich veins of copper or have a lot of miners.

One fully staffed (engineering Whiskers) Ore Furnace that is routinely supplied with ore can keep up with modest research needs (2-4 researchers) and still leave ingots available for building or constructing products. More researchers may risk outstripping your supply of copper ore more so than your Ore Furnace's ability to produce ingots.

Ore Furnaces use Fire Tongs as their catalyst but as mentioned with the Charcoal Kiln, the production cost of bronze ingots may not make the increased production speed worth it here. You will have to evaluate your stockpiles of ore and Bronze ingots to decide if expediting production is worth it.

Production limits are usually recommended, but since you need a few thousand copper ingots just for research, it is recommended to produce with reckless abandon until reaching the end of the research tree. Just make sure you have at least a Medium Warehouse available to store your ingots. You will likely never have enough gold ore to ever worry about production limits and there is little reason to keep gold ore around.

Copper and Bronze ingots are not available to sell for taxes or to the Smuggler. Gold Bullion is accepted by The Claw, The Smuggler, and The Pirates. While copper ore and gold ore can be sold in a pinch to The Claw, it is not recommended. Gold ore converts to Gold Bullion at a 1:1 ratio at the Ore Furnace, so it is best converted for the extra value. Copper ore is valued less than iron ore, harder to find, and is best utilized in research or construction.

Aside from the gold ore conversion rate, the other ores are up converted to greater quantities of ingots at the cost of fuel and production time.

Since this is a building that uses fuel, it will produce pollution and it produces a lot. Similar to the Charcoal Furnace, this building should be located away from and downwind of your colony. Between your Ore Furnaces and Charcoal Furnaces to feed them, you should now have a consistent haze of pollution drifting away from your island during working hours. Make sure your Whiskers stay clear when possible.

Fuel should be staged in a Warehouse near your Ore Furnaces to keep them operating at peak efficiency.

Ore Furnaces do not need to be heated during winter as they will produce enough heat to keep themselves warm during winter. They will not substitute as an effective heater for the area in which they are located.

You may wish to dedicate a Mining Camp or two to exploring and mining for copper to keep up with your Ore Furnace needs. Given this is usually subsurface mining, copper ore is slower to obtain than iron or tin ore. You should account for this in trying to keep your Ore Furnace busy.

The Research Lab is required to research any of the technologies available in the game that are not otherwise unlocked from the start or by receiving a blueprint from [[The Claws]].

==Operation==
Each Research Lab has 2 slots for [[Education|Educated]] Whiskers to occupy. There is no [[Guilds|Guild]] affiliation for the building.

===Resource Consumption===
The Research Lab will consume [[Resources]] in accordance with the tier level for whatever you are trying to currently research. Research Tier 0 requires [[Planks]]. Each tier of research thereafter will require a new resource plus all prior resources required for earlier tiers.

Each Research Tier must also be unlocked before the blueprints in that category become available. You will need to unlock at least the next metal refinement to be able to progress further. The current progression is [[Planks]], [[Copper Bars]], [[Bronze Bars]], and [[Iron Bars]]. While [[Steel Bars]] can be unlocked, it is currently not needed for research.

{| class="wikitable"
|-

| Research Tier 2
| [[Planks]], [[Copper Bars]], [[Bronze Bars]]
| tbd
|-
| Research Tier 3
| [[Planks]], [[Copper Bars]], [[Bronze Bars]], [[Iron Bars]]
| tbd
|}

The Whiskers working in the Research Lab will periodically fetch the necessary resources. Once the Research Lab is fully stocked, the Whiskers will slowly and simultaneously consume all needed resources. If you're missing even one resource, research will stop. For example, your researchers won't continue to consume [[Planks]] while waiting on [[Copper Bars]].

===Coordination===
Only one blueprint can be researched at a time. Multiple Research Labs will coordinate research on the same blueprint, decreasing the overall time to completion. However, the increased research speed is not linear. Each Research Lab working will also introduce a coordination penalty which will reduce research speed, but overall research speed will still be increased.

The resource cost for a blueprint remains the same (e.g. 42 [[Planks]] for a [[Plank Abode]] blueprint) regardless of how many Research Labs are working. However, the resources will be consumed at a faster rate because multiple Research Labs will be fetching resources and consuming them.

The Stone Cutter has one job: to turn [[Stone]] into [[Cut Stone]]. Cut Stone is required for many mid to late game buildings. It is also a highly valuable resource to sell to the Smuggler for [[Gold Bullion]].

The Stone Cutter is one of only 2 buildings that can consume raw [[Stone]] as an input. It is very unlikely your Stone Cutters will be able to keep up with your raw stone production from your [[Mining Camp]], so you should not have to worry about having sufficient raw inputs for this facility.

While this building is available from the beginning, it is not a good idea to build it immediately as you will want to focus on making other building materials with your engineering Whiskers, like [[Planks]] at the [[Sawmill]], until you have recipes that require [[Cut Stone]].

This building requires at least apprentice Whiskers in all its worker slots which can make it difficult to staff without a [[School]] to help supplement your supply of trained workers. This will also mean you will have a greater number of [[Whiskers]] with higher expectations - something you may wish to avoid in the early game.

The Stone Cutter produces [[Cut Stone]] fairly slowly, so you will want to fully staff this building with engineering Whiskers to leverage every possible production bonus.

The building utilizes [[Rope]] as a catalyst and should always be used. Rope is not difficult to obtain and one [[Flax Spinner]] can keep up with multiple Stone Cutters with more to spare.

It may be tempting to wildly scale up Stone Cutters to increase the production rate of [[Cut Stone]], especially when you are upgrading many houses and replacing paths with [[Stone Path]]. Because this building utilizes [[Machinery]] and apprentices, you may wish to judiciously scale up your production with respect to your ability to support the increased maintenance costs. 3 to 5 Stone Cutters will likely be sufficient mid to late game to provide enough Cut Stone for building projects and some for sale in reasonable time frames.

==Details==
* Its catalyst, [[Ropes]], is used up at one per 20 production cycles.

The elevator entrance is one of two required components to build a working elevator. The other required component is the Elevator Shaft. At least two elevator entrances must be placed on an elevator for Whiskers to be able to use the elevator. The entrances may be separated by any number of Elevator Shafts. Additional Elevator Entrances can be placed on the elevator to allow for multiple stops. Elevator Entrances are not required to face the same direction which can allow for some creative elevator options.

Five whiskers can use an elevator at once. Whiskers will queue at an Elevator Entrance until it arrives. For higher traffic areas, it may be prudent to install multiple elevators side-by-side to limit wait times.

Power is not required to operate elevators and they will function immediately when placed correctly. There is no construction time to place Elevator Entrances or Shafts.

Elevators can have their speed increased by adjacent Steam Engines. There is an Achievement that involves creating a 23+ tile tall elevator that uses steam power.

Elevators are not a replacement for all stairs or other elevation changing transit options. Long Stairs do not have limits on the number of Whiskers that can use them at once. Slides, similarly, do not have a throughput limit and have extreme descent speeds that elevators cannot match.

Elevators make the most since when a small quantity of Whiskers are reliant upon using them. Mine shafts are a prime example where Elevators shine. There are many more applications to creatively utilize them. Just be fully aware of their limitations.

Defenses

2026-09-28T21:15:48Z

76561198017070215: New page: structure health, walls, towers and cannonballs (patch 28 game data)

'''Defenses''' protect your colony from cannon fire during [[Demands|pirate]] raids and bombardments by [[The Claws]]. This page collects the numbers from the game files (patch 28). Where a number's meaning is our reading of the game files rather than something the game states, it says so.

==Structure health==
Every building has a ''Structure Health'' value. Almost all buildings have '''1 HP''', so a single cannonball hit destroys them. Walls and stone structures marked '''Cannon Resistant''' in their tooltip have far more, which lets them absorb shots that would otherwise hit your buildings. Combat is simulated, so shots are blocked by whatever is in their line of fire (see [[Nautical Gameplay#Naval Combat|Naval Combat]]).

===Cannon Resistant structures===
{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Structure !! HP !! Cost !! HP per Cut Stone
|-
| [[Small Defensive Tower]]
| 100
| 30 Cut Stone, 4 Iron Bars, 1 Bronze Cannons
| 3.3
|-
| [[Stone Archway]]
| 60
| 20 Cut Stone
| 3.0
|-
| [[Stone Pillar - Short]]
| 40
| 5 Cut Stone
| 8.0
|-
| [[Stone Pillar - Tall]]
| 40
| 6 Cut Stone
| 6.7
|-
| [[Stone Wall]]
| 32
| 3 Cut Stone
| 10.7
|-
| [[Stone Pedestal]]
| 32
| 3 Cut Stone
| 10.7
|-
| [[Red Brick Wall]]
| 32
| 3 Cut Stone
| 10.7
|}

Per Cut Stone, the plain walls give by far the most protection.

===Other sturdy buildings===
These have a little more than 1 HP: [[Central Warehouse]] (8), [[Civic Office]] (6), [[Town Hall]] (6), [[Blast Furnace]] (3), [[Cannon Foundry]] (3), [[Giant Warehouse]] (3), [[Large Shipyard]] (3), [[Ore Furnace]] (3), [[Research Lab]] (3), [[School]] (3), [[Small Shipyard]] (3), [[Stone Cutter]] (3), [[Stone Stairs]] (3), [[Elevator Entrance]] (2), [[Elevator Shaft]] (2), [[Large Warehouse]] (2), [[Whisker Launcher]] (2).

==Cannonballs==
Each cannonball type has a damage power. Assuming damage is subtracted from HP (our reading), a 32 HP [[Stone Wall]] survives about 4 hits from pirate Iron Shot.

{| class="wikitable"
! Ammunition !! Damage power !! Fired by
|-
| [[Stone Shot]]
| 3
| Your ships and towers
|-
| [[Bronze Shot]]
| 5
| Your ships and towers
|-
| [[Iron Shot]]
| 8
| Pirate ships and pirate island towers
|-
| Chain Shot
| 13
| Claws warships
|}

==Towers==
The [[Small Defensive Tower]] can be ordered to fire on approaching hostile ships. Its workers load the best cannonball available, and it can't fire without cannonballs. A game setting makes all defenses fire at pirate ships automatically, but the game warns that pirates are then likely to escalate.

{| class="wikitable"
! Tower !! Range !! Time between shots !! HP (naval combat) !! Notes
|-
| Your cannon tower
| 8000 units
| 1.8–2.2s
| 144
|
|-
| Pirate island tower
| 12000 units
| 4–6s
| 144
| unlimited Iron Shot, repairs itself over time
|}
Range is in game units (about 100 units per metre). Your towers are outranged by pirate towers but fire about twice as fast. (The Small Defensive Tower building itself has 100 Structure Health.)

==Raids and bombardments==
* '''Pirates''' first arrive around day 6 and then about every 6 days (±1). Their demand grows by 8 coins per Whisker and slowly with time, with a minimum of 89 coins. See [[Demands#Pirates|Demands]].
* Not paying in full brings cannon fire. Our reading of the game files: pirates fire one cannonball per 89 coins left unpaid (at least 5), and a Claws bombardment fires one per 144 coins of unpaid tax (at least 8). The payment screen shows the exact number of cannonballs you'll face.
* Whiskers near an explosion have a 50% chance of being injured (10% during your first bombardment). An injured Whisker has a 25% chance of dying from the injury. Injured Whiskers recover at the [[Medical Triage]].
* Each building destroyed adds 3 unrest, which falls by 1 each day.
* Destroyed buildings stay destroyed until you ''Mark for Rebuild'' (or ''Quick rebuild'') them. Losing an office also loses its policy slot.

The Sawmill is required to produce [[Planks]] which are required for numerous buildings and to complete all research in the game.

Given how vital this building is, it should be fully staffed by Engineer's Guild Whiskers to maximize output. This building uses [[Ropes]] as its catalyst and it should be used continuously. [[Ropes]] are easy to produce at a [[Flax Spinner]] and you're unlikely to run out.

The Sawmill consumes [[Logs]] and produces [[Planks]] at a rate of 1:5. This generous ratio means anything built with [[Planks]] is effectively cheaper than building its [[Logs]] counterpart (if it exists).

Production limits should be set on [[Planks]] to ensure [[Storage and Belts|Warehouse]] storage space is not overwhelmed. A good option is to dedicate a Warehouse or two to Planks and set the limit to total dedicated storage capacity.

Two or three fully staffed Sawmills should be sufficient to not keep you waiting long when completing building projects.

Planks are consumed by the [[Research Lab]] and the [[Carpenter]] (late game).

==Details==
* Its catalyst, [[Ropes]], is used up at one per 20 production cycles.

The Tailor is the final building in the fabric production chain and will produce tailored cloaks or bedding.

This production chain is Fiber Crop -> Threads -> Fabric -> Tailor products. Crops are either Flax or Cotton grown on Farms. Threads can be made at the Flax Spinner and/or Cotton Gin. Fabric is made at the Weaver.

Understanding this supply chain is important because scaling up Tailors to provide Tailored Cloaks to your entire colony, as well as bedding, will be an undertaking.

Each job at the Weaver produces 3 Fabric which is just enough to make 2 Tailored Cloaks (rare down convert) or 3 Bedding at the Tailor. Your colony of Whiskers is likely quite large by the point you unlock the Tailor. So even two tailors, one producing bedding and one producing Tailored Cloaks, will not be able to keep up when replacement rates are considered.

At the very least, you will need at least one Weaver to support one Tailor. Your ratios will vary based on everything from Whisker travel time to available traits/expertise. Remember, there is currently no reason to significantky stock pile thread or Fabric, so push the limits. Only the final products will payoff in terms of Whisker positive thoughts, cold resistance, and ability to sell the products.

Like all fiber supply chain buildings, the catalyst for production is scissors. These cost copper ingots at the Coppersmith. Given the expense, the use of this catalyst is heavily dependent on the conditions and resource availability in your colony.

The Showers are the 2nd bathing facility that you can build. It can be unlocked after researching the ability to pump water. It will allow your Whiskers to bathe in locations other than on coastlines, as long as you can pump water to that location.

Each Shower facility will require piped water to work. The Shower itself can hold a stockpile of water, but it may be insufficient to cover all of your Whisker showering needs if you do not build water towers. Remember, your Whisker who pumps water will not be working during bathing time.

Showers provide a 2-star bathing experience and can accept soap from a [[Luxuries Supplier|Luxury Suppliers]] for additional positive thoughts.

Piped water is provided to the building via an inlet on the backside of the building above the ground floor. This can make it challenging to locate in existing densely populated areas. Try being creative in running overhead piping or build tunnels under existing buildings.

==Details==
* Up to 10 Whiskers can bathe at once; each bath takes 12s and uses 5 Water.

76561198017070215: New page from game data (patch 28)

A '''catalyst''' is a resource that a production building keeps on hand to boost its output. In the game's words: ''Catalysts are consumed slowly over time, increasing the output of recipes when present.''

Each catalyst is used up at a rate of one per 20 production cycles. Workers fetch new catalysts for the building as needed (shown as the ''Gathering Catalyst'' activity).
