There might not be Giants to kill there, but the thespian must still be on the lookout man for danger.

Once the Ash Beach has been located, structure can begin. Building a Shipyard requires the post-obit resources: 500 Souls, 10 Wooden Boards, 6 Wrought Iron, and ii Aboriginal Cores. The player will need their Tinkerer upgraded to Level 3 in order to produce these resource, and then that upgrade should be a priority for players looking to ready canvass.
