'''Ports and carriages''' are your gateway to adventure and trade, connecting towns across continents. Provided a good enough network, with just a small fee and a short wait, you can set sail to any location in the world. | |||
No matter the distance, you can always reach your destination even if it's beyond your port's range. The port system will calculate the fastest route which may include stopping at some other ports along the way. This means you can travel anywhere without the hassle of planning multiple stops yourself. | No matter the distance, you can always reach your destination even if it's beyond your port's range.

The 4 types of ports are jetty, dockyard, harbour, megaport with jetty being the smallest and traveling the shortest distance and megaport being the biggest and having the larger range covering half the world. Don’t worry though even if the port you want to go to is outside of the travel range of your port you can still get there. You will just have to have some layovers in some other ports along the way, but the port system will calculate the fastest path for you so you don’t have to worry about trying to find the shortest path.--> | The 4 types of ports are jetty, dockyard, harbour, megaport with jetty being the smallest and traveling the shortest distance and megaport being the biggest and having the larger range covering half the world.
