Story Missions/DWG

Wake up son! Get your lazy. no good, rear end out of　bed now!
We’re taken on water! I must have hit　something here in these shallows, and now we’re dead in the water, sittin here like ripe pickens for any pirate that wanders by.
Your mothers doin all she can at the bing pumps to keep us afloat, and I gotta stay on Mid deck to keep an eye on our missiles, they are making an　odd tick. tick. tick noise.
You go down below decks, see whats going on and get us moving again!
If you manage that, get yerseif up to the helm and get us out　of these muddy waters.

Objective:
The bottom of the wanderlust is rusted out and a large section has broken away.
Repair the hull breach and build a new engine so we can get underway.

Navigate through the Waypuims to get us to safety, and be prepared to issue firing orders it we get attacked.

Tip:
You must bring resources from the "Resources" tab on the upper left of this screen.
Without resources you rannot build new parts in the game.

Dead In the Water
Your engines have fallen through a hole in the engine room. maintenance around here is horrible.
Get down there and get it running.
You must reach 1000 power bebre you leave.

How to: Full Enable
The core ola fuel engine is the "Fuel Engine Generator", this is the first part to be placed.
The Crankshaft attaches to the Fuel engine and forms a line leading away from the engine. This has no effect on the power of the engine, but serves as a connection point for Cylinders.

Cylinders convert fuel to power and the strength of this conversion can be affected by other parts.

Injectors connect to Cylinders; these cause more fuel to be used tor Significant power gains.

Carburetors connect to cylinders and provrde a smaller boost to power than Injectors, however other parts like Turbochargers and Super chargers can attach to it.

Exhaust attached to Cylinders to reduce gas build up in the cylinder.
The more power a cylinder creates also creates extra gasses which in turn create extra heat.
When a Cylinder overheats is shuts down to cool off.
It is wise to give proper exhaust to a cylinder to prevent this.

Advanced Knowledge
Superchargers and Turbochargers are used to reduce tuel usage on an engine.
In this tutorial you do not need to worry about fuel use, your ship has plenty.

Supercharger reduces fuel usage when there is little drain on an engines power.

Turbochargers Reduces fuel usage when there is a high drain on the engines power.

Into the open ocean
Well done son! That engine is purring like a baby kitten! Maybe you will prove yourselfa man one day after all.
Why dont you get up on deck and take the helm, get us out at this river and into the open ocean.
Follow the mysterious markers that have popped up on your screen.
I dont have a clue where they come from, but lm certain they are there for you.

Tutorial Mission: Out of Gas
Well, now you've gone an dun it.
That engine ye cobbled together has burned through almost all of our blasted reserve fuel.
Ive signaled {or a nearby trader to come sell us some fuel, but ill garantee that hes gunna fleece us
good.
Us sittin out here like dicks, its not helpin my nerves none, none at all.
I got some parts to an old cannon up on deck, why dont you go slap that old junk together into something useful.
Our antique close range missiles have served us well in the narrow confines of the river, but out here in the ocean some pirates can have us full o' holes beforin we can get on em to swing back.

Objectives:
While you wait for the trader, build a cannon on the turret base.
Be sure to delete the parts laying on deck so you can use those resourses to build a better cannon.

You can bring more resourses frorn the "Resourses" tab on the upper left of this screen to help even more.
Fight off any pirates that come to attack you.

How To: CRAM Cannons
The CRAM cannon is a system that packs “pellets" into a shell.
The longer you let the shell get packed with these ”pellets" the stronger the shell is.
Larger shells can of course hold more pellets, and the entire system works best when using large
shells.

Firing Piece: The most important piece, it can connect to "6 way connectors" and controls the firing of the cannon.

6 way connectors: These done have any effect on the cannon, but allow other parts to be linked to the firing piece.

Auto Loader: A very important piece that connects to 6 way connectors. it allows the packing and loading process to go much faster than connecting to 6 way connectors and serves as a 3 way connection point for ammo and pellets.

Ammo Box: These provide the empty shells for the cannon system to fill, without some your cannon have nothing to lire.
Having many of them in a system does slightly increase the firing speed, but not significantly.

Pellets: There are 4 kinds of Pellets that can be packed into a shell. "EMP, Explosive, Hard, and Fragmentation".
Each one does different things and can be combined into a shell in drfferent quantities.

Gauge lncreasers: This part can connect to the firing piece, 6 way connector, and themselves. They will increase the size of the barrels and the size of the Shell. The Bigger the shell, the more pellets can be packed into the shell, but at the cost of a slower firing speed.
CRAM cannons are meant to tire slow.

Barrels: There are 5 types of barrels; each one changes the cannon or the cannons firing arcs in some way. They attach to the Firing piece.

The Dredge
That Nitwit trader has led pirates right to us! Pirates, they’re everywhere in these waters, like roaches they are.
That dredge is defenseless and we're running on iumes, so running aint an option. Man the weapons get them firing boy!

Tutorial Mission: Gone fishin
Ahh, look at this place! Have you ever seen land as beautiful as this? Mountains on two sides of us, reaching into the sky trying to tickle the clouds, Islands to another side, its shore covered in sugary white sand, dotted with palm trees, and Sapphire water for as far as the eye can see!
Your father can never appreciate such a wonderful sight.
Just look at him!
He‘s already in the middle of that dusty old fortress, feet kicked up and fishing pole between his legs.
Left us here to get the hard work done, yes he did.
Well, guess we better get to it then? I know a thing or two about these mainframes; your old mamma's got a few tricks up her sleeve still. So. let's get this thing hooked up.

How to: Mainframes and Weapon Controllers
You listen up boy and ill teach you what to do with these electronic parts.
You see that Mainframe? That's the brain of a ship, it can control everything a ship can do.
Now, put it somewhere safe, don't want no sea water splashing up on it.
Now. you see them cards you got layen around? Each one tells the Mainframe how to do different things.
The most important one on the ship is the Naval Card, so don't lose that! Those cards will plug into "AI card slots" which attaches to the Mainframe.
Don't worry about the ship goin crazy and killin us, all you gotta do is take the wheel and you have control over what the ship does.

Now, you see that Wireless transmitter? Yeah, that thing.
That allows the Mainframe to talk to the rest of the ships parts.
Without it. the mainframes just talkin to itself and that aint helpin no one. Go ahead and plug it into the box.

Now, this parts a little confusin i need you to hit the "C" button on your Keyboard.
Yeah I know the mainframe aint got no Keyboard, I aint talken to you right now.
Ok, now you see in the screen that just popped up, it says "AI control" you have a bunch of buttons, should say "Off. On. Combat".
Go ahead and hit that Combat button.

Yeah. that's right boy, the ship just started moving on its own, that means your mainframe is up and running.
Now, to make it talk to our weapons.
I have already hooked up the missile launchers, but why don't you go below deck and get the cannon hooked up.

You will find some instruction signs down there to help you along boy.

Now what?

After the Al lS hooked up, make sure the Al wall still let you do the drivin’.
Take the Wanderlust over to the mysterious and unexplained giowm" beacon.

Onyx Watch Barricade

Sails! There‘s Onyx Watch Sails comin down the pass! They got us blocked in on both sides! There‘s nowhere to run, and you're Father's still sittin blisslully unaware on the fort like the imbecile that he is.
We aint got a choice, we fight or we die, let's see what this Al can do for us, you do the drivin', and let the Al do the firin'.

Firing Groups
If you have the weapons sleected in the firing groups, the Al can on take over control and fire for you. AI is much better at firing cannons (and losers) than you ever will be, so let it do its thing.
