|
Fishing boats and oil derricks let you exploit sea resources.
|
|
Navigating them back and forth between harbor and fishery / offshore
|
|
oil field is rather tedious. Autonavigation lets you automate this.
|
|
.s1
|
|
It is more commonly used for fishing boats than for oil derricks,
|
|
because oil fields are commonly configured to deplete quickly, and are
|
|
often too far from harbors for the slow oil derricks to make
|
|
autonavigation effective.
|
|
.s1
|
|
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. Oil derricks work exactly the same.
|
|

See info \*Qorder\*U for a complete description and example of
|
|
syntax for the \*Qorder\*U command.

You have ships 0,12 and 88 in the harbor at 15,1.
|
|
Sector 16,0 has a very good fert of 93 so you want to use that
|
|
as your fishing grounds.
|
|
.s1
|
|
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
|
|
autofish will work correctly and set them at the
|
|
same levels!
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Fishing boats and oil derricks are a special case
|
|
to the autonav code. This setup will only work
|
|
correctly with them. If you want to use autonav
|
|
with cargo ships please use the examples found in
|
|
the \*Qorder\*U 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 automatically 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.
|
|
.s1
|
|
For oil derricks, step 2b becomes:
|
|
.nf
|
|
"order 0 level 1 start food 30"
|
|
"order 1 level 2 end oil 1"
|
|
|
|
Note: If food is not required, food cargo levels can be zeroed.
|
|
|
|
Note: In this configuration, the end oil level is not important
|
|
as it is not used.
|
|
.fi
|
|
.s1
|
|
If your ship can't be unloaded because the the harbor is overcrowded,
|
|
it will continue along its route.
