The primary Steam source was reviewed on 2026-08-08. Exact values or steps that source does not confirm remain labeled unknown until reproduced in the current version.
The verified expedition relationship
A ship is not presented in isolation from people: the official material connects ship construction with crew and captain assignment before sea expeditions. Crew cohesion and needs add management considerations. This page can safely describe those categories, while the current game must remain the source for any named vessel, crew member, captain, requirement, or displayed value.
Before sending an expedition, record only what is visible: the selected ship, assigned crew, assigned captain, and the current presentation of cohesion and needs. This is a documentation checklist, not a claim that every field is a hard requirement or that satisfying a particular value guarantees success. The supplied source does not publish such thresholds.
- Confirmed action: build ships
- Confirmed preparation: assign crew and a captain
- Confirmed crew concepts: cohesion and needs
- Confirmed destination frame: sea expeditions
Record readiness without a tier list
Use a pre-expedition note that preserves the live interface wording. If the game shows a crew need or cohesion state, copy that label rather than translating it into a made-up score. If a captain has visible information, record it without ranking the person against every other captain. A current observation can be useful without becoming a permanent optimization guide.
After the expedition, record the route or destination only as displayed and the outcome only as observed. One result does not establish a guaranteed reward table or prove that the captain was solely responsible. Production state, crew context, and other conditions may differ, and the evidence used for this page does not define a complete outcome formula.
- Preserve visible ship and crew labels
- Record cohesion and needs without invented cutoffs
- Keep the captain choice descriptive, not ranked
- Separate one observed outcome from a guaranteed rule
Unknown values, routes, and rewards
Exact crew statistics, an ideal crew number, cohesion or need thresholds, the best captain, a complete ship ranking, expedition routes, and rewards are not confirmed by the official material supplied for this site. The same is true of any production recipe claimed to be mandatory for an expedition. These gaps remain labeled instead of being copied from an existing wiki.
Use the Production Chains Guide when the verified question is about resources moving through the city, and use the Beginner Guide when the underlying issue is the relationship between cliff areas and connections. If a future official source documents a fleet value or expedition rule, attach its date and version before adding it as a lasting answer.
- No ideal crew total or hidden threshold
- No best-captain recommendation
- No guaranteed expedition route or reward
- No unverified fleet or ship ranking
