The '''Cargo Ship''' is an automated vehicle which transports resources from [[World Map/Map Locations|Map Locations]] to the [[Home Island]]. As of {{version|ver=Beta 0.3.11}}, there are always seven [[Damaged Cargo Ship]]s visible and reachable on the map with repair costs increasing along with distance from the [[Home Island]].  As of version 0.5.3, there are only four Damaged Cargo Ships on the map, but one settlement offers a quick trade of one cargo ship in exchange for Construction Parts IV.  (Like all quick trades, it can be taken more than once.) As of v0.7.9, the trade costs Construction Parts III.

A cargo ship's size is determined by its assigned [[Cargo Depot]], with one ship section for each possible cargo depot module.  When a Module is attached to the Cargo Depot, a corresponding container appears in the corresponding section of the ship.  Each ship section has a fixed capacity depending on ship size; 2 and 4 module ships are 800, 6 and 8 module ships are 1200 as of v0.8.0.  The speed at which each ship module can be loaded or unloaded depends on the size of the matching cargo depot module (see, for example: [[Fluid Module (S)]]).
There are two ways to acquire these ships:

The Cargo Ship is an automated vehicle which transports resources from Map Locations to the Home Island.

There are two ways to acquire these ships:

  • Four Damaged Cargo Ships are present and discoverable on the world map. They can be claimed and repaired by having the main ship bring resources to them. See the table below.
  • One Village sells additional Cargo Ships in exchange for Construction Parts III. This can be performed repeatedly without limit.

A cargo ship's size and cargo capacity are automatically determined by its assigned Cargo Depot, and the Cargo Modules installed there.

Cargo ships require fuel to operate. They can be set to run on Diesel, Heavy Oil, or Hydrogen.

The amount of fuel used is dependent on the number of cargo modules built, the capacity of the section on the cargo ship, and the "Save Fuel" setting (the table below assumes all possible modules are built). The time required is dependent on the "Save Fuel" setting. The table below does not include this extra time and is the time taken from the edge of the map. The workers needed to operate the ship are determined by the size of the ship (and thus the size of the Cargo Depot -- regardless of the number and size of modules built). Note that the cargo modules also require workers based on their number and size. Both time and fuel are per trip, regardless of the ship's destination on the world map.

Cargo Ship Capacity
Size Section Capacity Total Ship Capacity
2 800 1600
4 800 3200
6 1200 7200
8 1200 9600
Cargo Ship Fuel and Worker Usage
Size Workers Time () Fuel Used
Standard Save Fuel Standard Save Fuel
2 12 180 360 210 147
4 22 180 360 330 231
6 30 180 360 630 441
8 36 180 360 810 567

Repair

After discovery on the World Map, each Damaged Cargo Ship must be repaired before it can be utilized. Each one has a different repair cost, with the cheaper ones being located closer to the Home Island.

Trivia

If a Cargo Depot is upgraded or downgraded, the assigned ship will automatically sail off the map, change size to match the new depot, and return. Unlike all other sailing actions, this happens even if the cargo ship is Paused, has no crew, or has no fuel. In older versions of the game, the map included 7 Damaged Cargo Ships, and those were the only ones that could be obtained. There was no option to trade for more.
