Corsair Cove Getting Started: Build a Stable First Cove

The goal of the first cove is a stable loop, not a large footprint.

1. Secure the camp and connection

Start from the Pirate Camp and Shipwreck supplies. Keep each new building inside camp reach and complete its connection before expecting construction or operation.

2. Add housing before jobs

Tents hold two pirates. Leave capacity for the workers and Fetchers required by the next production link.

3. Cover food and drink

Greenhands consume Stew. Once the first ship brings Swabbies, the camp also needs Booze. Keep the Galley and Tavern assigned to the same camp as the workers and pier they serve.

4. Complete the Planks loop

A Woodcutter supplies Hardwood to a Sawmill. The Sawmill converts 4 Hardwood into 10 Planks per minute. Assign the route and make sure output storage is being collected.

5. Expand one dependency at a time

When a new building introduces an input, trace it before starting another branch. Use the camp checklist before opening a second camp.
