Carrier Command 2/Carrier: Logistics



The logistics screen, to the port side of the bridge, lets the carrier's crew manage and maintain the various warehouse islands, factories, and the barges that move between them.

Inventory/Logistics Screens
The two large screens to either side of the stations are identical in function and can be toggled between three views. The Stock tab (shown on the left) displays the exact number of supplies available in your current stockpile. It lays out all the items in a four column table. From left to right, the columns are: Clicking on one of the rows lets crewmembers add items to the number requisitioned by the carrier. Barges will then move around your archipelago and attempt to fulfill the orders requested by the carrier. Each barge has a certain amount of space and can be intercepted by enemies.
 * The name of the item
 * The number currently in a warehouse under your control
 * The number currently requisitioned by the carrier
 * The current usable stock of the item on the carrier itself

The Map tab, shown on the right, lets crewmembers assign barges to different islands, routes, and the carrier itself.

Each island in the archipelago can either produce items or store items in the case of warehouses. See the page on Islands for additional information.

From the map screen, click and drag from any friendly island to another friendly island to create a supply route. Barges will automatically move from the first island you clicked to the second island. While it is possible to link two production islands together, non-warehouse islands cannot store any items and thus the barge will waste time. Generally speaking, you will want to link your production islands to a warehouse island, and then your warehouse island to your carrier.

The map screen also lets players have production islands produce items. By clicking on a production island on the map, they can have the island begin producing items at a currency cost. Currency is gained daily for every island owned by the player, and additional currency is gained by destroying enemies and capturing islands.

Production islands can temporarily store their goods, but they cannot receive goods from other islands and act as warehouses.

The Barges tab (not shown) lets crew interact with barges. Clicking on a barge shows its current inventory, its weight, and to snap to its location on the map or show its current destination.
