== Start with a sustainable fleet ==

Food grants energy equal to its base BC value. A normal item found costs <strong>75 energy</strong>. Higher pet levels and tiers improve production. [[Pets]] continue while energy lasts, so increasing your fleet also increases the food you need to supply.

Send each pet to its preferred action for its species bonus. Fish pets are a useful foundation because much of their output is edible. Add other specialists as you need their materials. A fixed ratio such as 7 Fish to 3 Hunt to 1 [[Explore]] to 1 Mine is a community starting point, not a guarantee: your boosts, levels, food reserves, [[Craving|craving]]s, and market access change what is sustainable.
