Please someone explain how to connect coastal settlements (exploration) like I'm 4 years old.

[Brufus]

Age of exploration, 3 coastal settlements, all within 10 hexes. All have fishing quays. All have one or more treasure fleet resources. No treasure fleet resource "progress bar" shows up in the resources screen.

Do treasure fleets only start to generate at 50 percent age or something?

Before people ask: YES, I have a homeland coastal settlement with a fishing quay within 10 tiles of one of my 3 others.

Double checking, do you have the shipbuilding tech?

Woah! Do I need shipbuilding? Just read the description and nothing is mentioned about connecting coastal settlements or treasure fleets.

Then again, tons of stuff isn't mentioned in this game that somehow the community knows about - please, teach me! Is this the key?!

Build a fishing quay. 90% sure you also need shipbuilding

Yep. Pretty sure this is only described by the objectives if you turn on the tracking for the economic legacy path.

It's outlined on the legacy path screen. They usually have pretty good descriptions there of how to complete a legacy path.

shipbuilding, fishing quay, and im 99% sure the city centre has to be directly next to a coast. one of mine didnt qualify because there was a cliff in the way.

I think the key is the fishing quay. I don't think the center has to be right on the coast.

You can add the progress /quest system for every path, it show exactly what you need to do next.
