Placement is key as it will ensure that the Pearls enter your inventory as quickly as possible. The next thing is what items can be added to the Harbourmasters Office. The Harbourmasters Office is the same as Trade union but for buildings in the harbour area.

Layouts

In this section we will look at what layouts we can use for the Pearl Farm. Layouts are key when designing your islands so that the items arrive as quickly as possible. Lets now take a look at a layout for the Pearl Farm.

Option 1

Here we can see a very simple layout that uses three Pearl Farms. As we can see these Pearls will enter your Warehouse and then straight into your inventory. This layout produces two tons every minute.

Option 2

In this layout we can see that we are delivering the Pearls directly to the Trading post. This is ideal as the Pearls can be shipped back to the Old World for the production of Jewellery in the Jewellery production chain. We can also see that their is a Harbourmasters Office located in the harbour area. This is where you can place items to improve the productivity and efficiency of the Pearl farm.
