Follow the training officer's instructions carefully during the missions. The officer will not tolerate any deviations. If not, there may be problems with the missions.

Milk cow
First you have to get a milk cow as a reward. (Campaign mission)
Then you can define the position of the milk cow in the HQ. The milk cow is initially positioned at the coordinates DE9.

With a leader you can set a new coordinate. Of course, this will take some time. Therefore, plan the coordinate of the milk cow well in advance.
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2524352237

Radio Message
With the first radio message you receive the information that the milk cow will be in this coordinate and you are requested to send another radio message when you have reached the main coordinate.

With the second radio message you will receive the exact coordinates, how long it will wait there and it will be shown on the map as an icon.

The HQ can be opened in the port and here at any time.
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2524899037


We are Lost!
If the position accuracy drops to 0%, you will lose your position on the map. Pay attention to the values on the map table and map! Crew management and the gyro compass will help you to solve this problem in general.

When an officer gets injured, they are unabled to be healed in their bunk as you do not get the interaction wheel with them. Yes I had another officer with medkits selected to try and heal them. The only prompt I got was for the officer bunk, stating I could not let the selected officer use the bunk because it was occupied by the dying officer.

Hey Ruby

Wow, this looks like an aweful lot of work, you've done there collecting all this. Well done.

@moody: I don't think this is the correct thread for you question. There is a bug report thread somewhere over there *nods in the general direction of the forum*

I have a recurring crew management issue where I cannot set up my own number priorities for tasks for the crew/ officers. Only a zero will show up when I click on a square. cant scroll up the number and can not manually enter it. Anyone had this?

Hi Ratbird,

don't click inside. Move the mouse over the cell and change the value with Ctrl+mouse wheel.

Hi Ruby,
is it possible that you also put this thread in the Guides section ?
Thx Wolf

Ruby 21 Apr, 2021 @ 2:22am 
Hi Wolf,

that is probably not possible. The guides have a different structure
But the idea is not bad .... Let's see what can be done.

Cheers Ruby

I have a bug of sorts, I started in Wilhelmshaven and did 3-4 tutorials then a few patrols, I then transferred to La Rochelle and did another tutorial (Crew Management) did that fine then went back to La Rochelle and the task was still there so set sail back to Wilhelmshaven the task was completed but now I can not sail anywhere as I need to talk to an officer and there is none present only the recruitment and warehouse options are in port

Edit: To Fix this I used the console to teleport to the La Rochelle Port
