Caravan Speed Upgrades

Remember, you're only as fast as your slowest pawn—make sure to pack enough caravan gear for the whole crew.

• Unlock the hiking poles, all-terrain boots, and walkie-talkies by completing the caravan speed upgrades research project.
  
• Craft all items at a fueled smithy or electric smithy.
  
  • Hiking poles are the least expensive.
    
  • Walkie-talkies are the most expensive.
• Caravan upgrade gear is only usable during caravans (i.e., it cannot be equipped on your home map tile and is strictly for caravan travel).
  
• Important: To gain a speed boost, every member of the caravan must have their own gear for that specific caravan movement speed upgrade. If even one pawn is missing an item required for a specific speed boost, the entire caravan forfeits that boost.

Example:
If you pack 4 hiking poles for a 4-pawn caravan, your caravan will receive an 11% speed boost.
However, if you pack only 3 hiking poles and 1 walkie-talkie, no speed boost will be applied from either item.

Single Item Speed Boosts:

• Hiking Poles: 10% less time → 11% faster
  
• All-Terrain Boots: 20% less time → 25% faster
  
• Walkie-Talkies: 30% less time → 43% faster

Stacking Multiple Items:
Instead of adding boosts together, each one compounds on the last.

• Hiking Poles + Boots → 39% faster
  
• Hiking Poles + Walkie-Talkies → 59% faster
  
• Boots + Walkie-Talkies → 78% faster
  
• All Three (Max Boost) → 98% faster

Each item reduces travel time, but the speed boost is bigger than the % reduction suggests because the effects stack multiplicatively (not additively). Each item shrinks travel time, so the next boost works on a smaller base. That’s why a 10% time cut = 11% speed boost, and stacking items leads to speed gains.
