Colonising the Other Islands

## Exploring the Planet

Congratulations, you've made it off the first island on an old Colony Ship. Where to now, captain?

First things first, let's work out where these new lands are. Explore the planet by clicking on the colony ship, then clicking to move around the world with the ship. Keep exploring the planet until you uncover new islands!

## Colonising the new Island

Once you've found a new island, move your Colony Ship alongside the island, and click Colonise, and then click on the tile you'd like to colonise. On Xbox, select your Colongy Ship using A when it is being hovered over by the selected Hex, and then press A again to bring up the focus on the properties card, scroll down to the Colonise button, and then use the dpad to select the target Hex.

This will destoy the Colony Ship, and build a Port on the tile you selected. Congratulations! You have settled a new island!

## Getting Up and Running

### Sorting out Food, Water and Housing

As on the first island, your first job is to ensure your Peeps have ample access to Food, Water and Accommodation. Depending on the island you've settled, you may be able to grow Fruit in an Orchard, or you may be limited to only growing Potatoes. Check the Fertilities tab along the top of the screen for more information.

Since there is no Shelter on this island, and there are only 5 Peeps brought from the first island to the new island, you'll need to build a School to increase your population on the new island. Don't forget to build a Library as well to allow you to build more complex buildings!

### New Research

On this new island, you'll also find that there is a new type of technology: Red Research. As before, construct an Explorer's Hut to allow Peeps to collect the research from Technology Deposits across the island, and use this to research Shipping, which will allow you to build Ports and Shipwrights, which allow you to build ships and start Trading between your islands!

### Returning to the First Island

Back on your first island, you'll want to build the newly unlocked Port and Shipwright. Once completed, build yourself a Trade Ship, which will allow you to move resources between your two islands! You can do this manually, or automatically using Shipping Lanes.

A common set up is to have your tool-producing island (Island 1) exporting Tools to Island 2, maintaining around 20 on Island 2, and have Island 2 exporting all Red and Green Research back to Island 1, to allow more research to take place there. You can also choose whether you want to export Stone and/or Planks, depending on whether you want to produce them on the second Island.

## Getting Off the Planet

To explore the universe further, you'll need to find and repair the Ruined Spaceship. This will be on one of the two non-starter islands, and requires a bunch of resources to repair, including Fuel, Steel and Glass, as well as at least 50 adult Peeps on the island.

To progress to the point of having all these resources, keep exploring the planet and settle the third island, and continue your research through the Research Tree. As well as learning how to produce these resources, you'll also find helpful technologies such as Clothing, which will reduce the Fatigue your Peeps suffer on Snow and Desert islands; Pollution Cleaner which allows you to build a Pollution Cleaner to remove the worst of the Pollution produced by your industry buildings; House, which will allow the construciton of Houses which can accommodate more Peeps; and Fountains, which allow you to build Fountains to keep your Peeps happy.

Whilst exploring and researching, make sure to keep your Peeps Happy to ensure they work efficiently, as well as keeping them well fed and watered. Where possible, reduce the effect of Fatigue by providing Clothing to Peeps.

Always make sure to build a School and Wood Generator on your islands as well!

Once you have all the resources and Peeps required, repair the Ruined Spaceship, and you're ready to launch!
