New Player Route
How to Play
Understand the colony loop, villager assignments, and why this is not a passive idle game.
First Island Setup
Food-first setup, housing order, and harbor prep on your opening expedition.
Controls & Interface
Mouse controls, villager panel, building menu, and harbor interface.
The Island Loop
Each expedition follows a loop: land on a wild island, gather resources, construct buildings, recruit villagers, survive unique events, then set sail when the harbor is ready. Between islands you spend Prestige points on a permanent talent tree.
Prestige & Talent Tree
Prestige talents persist across the entire archipelago run. Production, exploration, and disaster branches shape how fast you rebuild and how safely you reach deeper islands.
Endgame: THE Piece
The ultimate goal is THE piece deep in the archipelago. Route planning, exploration talents, and disaster mastery all feed this endgame objective.
Achievements
17 Steam achievements covering colony milestones, disasters, and THE piece completion.
