Corsair Cove Beginner Guide

Your first useful milestone is a settlement whose inputs, workers, transport, storage, and consumers can be explained. Add a second chain only after the first one moves reliably.

Build a readable first settlement

  1. Pause and inspect the current island, harbor access, and buildable land.
  2. Place the settlement so homes and early jobs have short connected routes.
  3. Secure the basic need shown by the current population panel.
  4. Build one complete production chain from input to consumer.
  5. Let the chain run, then expand only after storage and worker demand remain stable.

Diagnose before adding capacity

  • No input: trace the producer, route, and storage.
  • No workers: inspect population and job demand before constructing more workplaces.
  • Full output: find the missing consumer, warehouse space, or transport step.
  • Needs falling: restore the affected good before pursuing a specialized chain.

Treat exact ratios as versioned

The official wiki documents buildings and resources, while patch announcements can change production and balance. Record the game version beside any ratio and verify it against the current building panel.

Quick answers

What should I build first in Corsair Cove?

Build a connected settlement that can staff and supply one complete basic production chain before adding specialized capacity.

Why is a building not producing?

Check inputs, workers, road or harbor connectivity, storage space, and whether the output has a consumer.

Should I copy a launch-day ratio?

Only after confirming it on the current patch; production and balance values can change.
