Multiple Processing of Raw Materials

Some Raw Materials can be processed multiple times. Below is the circulation of raw materials, from coconut to ship.

Suppose a player owns a coconut. To plant it in the ground, they need a suitable tool, such as a shovel, to do so. When the coconut grows into a palm tree, the player can cut it down with an axe obtaining a log. The log can be processed into planks in the appropriate building, which is a sawmill. The planks, when delivered to the shipyard along with other raw materials, will be used to create a ship.

The player may not be able to carry out the entire manufacturing process himself, and even if he does, his manufacturing and processing facilities may be scattered over several islands in the archipelago. In such a case, it is important to ensure that the transportation of raw materials is at a high enough level.

It may become a good idea for many players to find their niche and specialize in a particular industry.
