Build island towns, connect production, and command fleets
Limbic Entertainment describes Corsair Cove as an island city builder in which the player supplies settlers, establishes production chains, sails a fleet, and serves the Crown. The official wiki organizes documentation around resources, buildings, population, ships, fleets, trade, and exploration.
Those systems interact. A production building cannot rescue a settlement if workers, transport, storage, or inputs are missing, and a new island increases the number of routes that can fail. This guide therefore starts with visible bottlenecks instead of an unversioned optimal ratio.
