Export of ships

[jkloi]

Is there any way to export ships once they are built?

[melkij]

Nope, only manually.

Set their line with either foreign border and no other stops and start it.
The boat will travel to the border under its own power and then you'll get the money once it reaches the edge of the map.

This only applies to boats you just built though.

I didn't find a way to export, it would be easier to administer if it were possible automatically.

You need to send them directly from the dry dock. Select one of the customs houses and set them off. They need to have only one stop in the schedule. Larger ships will gave issues with pathfinding under bridges and may give you an error.
Planes are done in the exactly same way. When building for export, it is best to build as large vehicle as possible, since it extends time you have to send already finished one, without blocking another construction.

Or just play the ships and containers tutorial; it addresses this and takes less than 10 minutes.

I don't understand why the game doesn't provide an automatic export option (boats and planes). it's been requested by many for a long time.

I made the tutorial helped to understand the process, however there is no automatic way. Thanks for the tip.

Perhaps the developer wants the player to devote attention to this process.

It looks a lot like excessive micro managing though. It's ok if some people like that but I'd like to be able to opt out.

It's probably considered a minor issue in the overall development plan and if so would be reserved for post 1.0-release changes to the game.

The best work around I have found is to build large ships (more profitable too) and check the "alert me if this factory stops working" box. That way you get a safety net if you don't check regularly.

If only we had ship distribution offices.

I also did not figure out the way to sell ships automatically, that is very inconvenient. The same problem is for aircrafts.

The dedication to selling ships could be applied to other tasks. That option would be really cool.
