Cape Trelawney problem

[maats]

I've located the queen and she's instructed me to build a trading post in Cape Traelawney. But when I bring the supplies to build one I keep getting told I don't have enough supplies. For the record I brought 50 wood, 50 bricks and 50 steel beams in a Clipper and I still can't build outpost one the island she wants me to. I can however build outposts on the other islands in this region. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

You need timber, not wood.

Maybe you don't have enough influence. Crown Falls is big and takes a lot. The number needed should be shown alongside the materials when you hover over the ghost trading post.

[maats]

Ok, thanks for the input.

one of the quests should have been to pick up the materials from her ship to build on the main island.

Is there a risk that an AI character will colonize Crown Falls if you don't do it yourself soon after opening the region? It requires about 103 influence, and I need to build up the population on another island or two first. This must be done in any case to house the heavy industries that one doesn't want on Croiwn Falls.

Crown Falls (Cape Trelawney) and Manola (New World) are protected against being settled by the AI, but I don't recall whether that is forever or until the first player has taken their first island in the region.

the materials for the trading post are a gift you have to fetch from the queen. you dont need to bring them with you
