Beginner Guides

Start with How to Play if you are new to colony incrementals. First Island Setup walks through food, wood, and harbor order on your opening expedition. Food Management covers the skill that prevents most early wipes.

  • How to Play — core loop, active management, and beginner mistakes.
  • First Island Setup — opening villager split and building order.
  • Food Management — surplus targets, recruitment discipline, and winter buffers.

Event & Combat Guides

Island events are the main difficulty spikes after island three. These guides cover the three most common run-enders reported in Steam reviews at launch.

  • How to Beat Pirate Raids — defense roster and resource protection.
  • How to Survive Winter — stockpile math and seasonal reassignment.

Mid-Game & Endgame

Island four and beyond is where Steam reviews say management complexity jumps. How to Get THE Piece and the walkthrough route connect mid-game prestige to the final archipelago objective.

  • Island 4 and Beyond — mid-game difficulty spike and talent prep.
  • How to Get THE Piece — route strategy and endgame talent priorities.
