Follow the Journal without spoiling the outcome

Separate requirements, collected cargo and chapter claims.

What a chapter page reveals

A chapter page can show objective requirements and consumed materials before its outcome text. Outcome sections are marked as spoilers. Later chapter titles, unlocks, opponents and route rewards may themselves reveal progression; use the wiki’s spoiler controls if you want to discover them in play.

For a locked chapter, work backward through its listed materials, encounter requirements and earlier claimed chapters. Follow each missing material to its source, then return to the Journal when the requirements are met.

Check completion and costs separately

A requirement can count finished work, a trade level, an encounter victory or a previous claim. A cost consumes a specific item when you claim. Owning the cost basket does not automatically satisfy every objective, and finishing an objective does not waive its costs.

Delivery chapters can require the collected return receipt. Collect the cargo when it arrives and keep the receipt until the chapter is claimed.

Beyond the final project

Optional advanced routes and production goals remain after the last chapter. A route’s place in the catalogue does not mean it is required by the twelve-chapter campaign.

You can follow the Journal closely or spend time improving equipment, production and civic services along the way. Claim completed chapters to receive their unlocks before planning your next destination.
