The Oceanic Terminal is a special goods building of the Oceanic Future that sends out a submarine on Oceanic deep sea expeditions to collect Orichalcum.

Production

This building produces Orichalcum (Orichalcum), a special good of the Oceanic Future.

One trip to the deep sea provides the player with 50 orichalcum. The submarine requires the selection of three crew members from five randomly offered crew members. The amount of harvested orichalcum can be augmented or reduced by the crew members. A damaged submarine also reduces the amount of orichalcum acquired.

The standard expedition time of the submarine is 24 hours. By upgrading the Oceanic Terminal and hiring certain crew members, the expedition time can be decreased to a minimum duration of 7 hours.

Submarine damage

Taking a trip to the deep sea damages the submarine by 13%. A damaged submarine hauls less goods and needs more time to take a round trip. A highly damaged submarine also costs more goods to repair.

First Upgrade

The first upgrade reduces the standard travel time of your ship to 22 hours. Your ship capacity increases by 5 (to 55).

Second Upgrade

The second upgrade reduces the standard travel time of your ship to 18 hours. Your ship capacity increases by 8 (to 63).

Third Upgrade

The third upgrade reduces the standard travel time of your ship to 17 hours. Your ship capacity increases by 5 (to 68).

With this upgrade your crew must have 4 crew members and the choice window will give you 6 Crew members to choose from instead of 5.

Crew Members

You can hire crew to travel in your submarine and get orichalcum. They will also gain 100 experience points each time you use them. When they gain levels, they will perform even better.
