|
For years now people have been setting up large groups of fishing
|
|
boats to feed their island. These groups get very large and are
|
|
difficult to keep track of.
|
|
|
|
This is an example of how to set up a fleet of fishing boats
|
|
so they will take their food produced each update and drop it off
|
|
at the harbor of your choice.
|
|
|
|
See 'info order' for a complete description and example of
|
|
syntax for the 'order' command.

You have ships 0,12,88 in the harbor 15,1
|
|
Sector 16,0 has a very good fert of 93 so you want to use that
|
|
as your fishing grounds.
|
|
|
|
1) move your ships to sector 16,0
|
|
"nav 0/12/88 16,0"
|
|
|
|
2a) set up autonav using the 'order' command.
|
|
"order 0 des 15,1 16,0"
|
|
This will establish a circular trade route.
|
|
|
|
2b) set up food levels for the ship
|
|
"order 0 level 1 start food 30"
|
|
"order 0 level 1 end food 30"
|
|
|
|
You can also use a global '*' or a fleet letter here.
|
|
"order * level 1 start food 30"
|
|
"order * level 1 end food 30"
|
|
|
|
"order F level 1 start food 30"
|
|
"order F level 1 end food 30"
|
|
|
|
NOTE: You should set BOTH start and end fields to insure
|
|
autofeed will work correctly and set them at the
|
|
same levels!
|
|
|
|
NOTE: if you are using autonav with normal cargo ships.
|
|
Fishing boats are a special case to the autonav code.
|
|
This setup will only work correctly with fishing boats.
|
|
If you want to use autonav with cargo ships please use
|
|
the examples found in the 'order' command.
|
|
|
|
repeat 2a,2b for other ships in the area.
|
|
|
|
During the update your fishing boats will now move to the harbor at
|
|
15,1 unload food until it reaches 30, then move back to 15,1 and STOP.
|
|
If you're using fishing boats that require fuel, i.e. fb2
|
|
when the ship enters the harbor, and the fuel level is at 0, the
|
|
autonav code will automaticly refuel the ship for you.
|
|
So unless the ship gets sunk, or something happens to it, like the
|
|
civs starve on board if you don't leave enough food on it,
|
|
the ships will continue to feed your country and you won't even need
|
|
to think about them.
|
|
|
|
The Max limit that autonav will stockpile is 99999 units.
|
|
So if your sector get overcrowded the ship will sit in the harbor
|
|
until it can unload all of its food.
