getting out of winterhome..

[zpigs]

ok, so the whole dreadnought, transport, escape thing..

pretty confusing with all the cabins etc. only tried it once and didn't have a clue what i was doing.

any tips on the best way to leave the city?

i bundled all my engineers off too early and had no one left to do anything in the city! doh!

You need 5000 coal to fuel the dreadnought. You need steel and steam cores to construct the cabins, and food rations for the people you pack into them. And you need to send out the people with the transports. You can only send one transport per day, and up to 50 people per transport, so you need ten transports fully loaded with people if you wnat to bring the maximum of 500 people out.

In the dreadnought sreen, there's the yellow bars for people, rations and cabins. You want them to be on an equal level by the time you launch.

Get the children out first, and load up the early transports with as much resources as you can already. Engineers stay until the final 1-2 transports. As your population shrinks, you can start dismantling buildings you don't need anymore to get more steel and use less coal, too.
