Knowledge Plans

Plans aren't treasures. They're notes someone took very seriously.

In short: Knowledge plans make your research a little stronger on a single island.

- Plans appear in your laboratory once it's built up

- They're tied to the island, not to you

- Losing a battle can let an attacker plunder some of your plans

What are knowledge plans? #

Knowledge plans are an island-bound collection of insights that boost your research effect on that specific island. While your island holds a plan stockpile, every research lands a bit harder there — the magnitude depends on the research tree.

Plans don't move between your islands. What you produce on the main island stays there. A side island with its own laboratory produces its own plans — separate accounts, separate effects.

How are plans produced? #

Once your laboratory reaches a certain level, the island slowly starts producing plans. The production rate scales with laboratory level. Your laboratory stores only as many knowledge plans as it has levels; anything beyond that is lost.

You don't trigger plan production manually. It runs in the background as soon as the conditions are met.

When are plans at risk? #

If you lose a battle on a plan-bearing island, the attacker may take a portion of your plans. The size of that portion depends on the strength ratio — a narrow win nets the attacker less than a clear one.

In a successful colonisation, the plans transfer with the island to the new owner. They aren't destroyed — they go along.

Strategy #

• Laboratory pays off twice — plan production on top of the classic research-time reduction
• Defence protects your plans — an island that looks easy to plunder becomes a plan magnet for attackers
• Plan stock only matters while researching — a plan-only island with no active research doesn't realise the bonus

You can view your current plan stockpile directly in your island's Research tab — there is a dedicated section for knowledge plans.
