== Steam Engines ==
Certain ships, such as the Dragon and Prometheus, are equipped with steam engines that enable them to travel in any direction, with or against the wind at a constant speed. Steam engines are activated by pressing the E key. When a steam engine is activated, the engine speed overrides the sail speed of the ship, making this power best used when traveling crosswind or upwind. Running an engine consumes [[Coal]] at a rate relative to the power the engine is running at, at a rate of 1 coal per 45 seconds at full throttle and slower as the speed of the ship is slowed. This rate is not affected by the maximum engine speed of the ship.

* Due to the different performance between sails, certain ships may be faster than other ships in certain directions even if the Shipwright indicates it has a lower speed, for instance, the Stiletto and Cutlass, which are listed as having a speed of 8, will travel faster downwind than a Dart or Taipan due to their square sails, whilst the Dart and Taipan use primarily fore-aft sails.

* Wind in the [[Burkeland (Island)|Burkeland]] tile travels in the same pattern as the Grand Isles, despite its lack of a "wind rock". The southeastern island can instead be used as a reference point.

*The wind in the [[Burkeland (Region)|Burkeland]] and [[Eastern Sea]] tiles will always travel the opposite direction of the current wind direction in the Grand Isles.
