Infamy: Corsair I (You need to reach a certain level of notoriety as a pirate)
Materials:
Zinc Ingot x7 (Metal used for creating containers)
Shellac x4 (Protective coating)
Sheet Glass x4 (Transparent material)
Crude Saltpeter (Key ingredient in gunpowder)
Screw Mechanism x4 (Suggests moving parts within the works)
Silver x2250
Function (Speculative):
Based on the name and materials, the Torpedo Works I Blueprint likely allows you to craft or upgrade a facility dedicated to torpedo development, assembly, or maintenance in Skull and Bones. Here’s a breakdown of the functionalities:
Torpedo Assembly: This is the most likely primary function. The Torpedo Works allows you to construct your own torpedoes, giving you more control over your ship’s offensive capabilities.
Torpedo Customization (Potential): Higher tiers of Torpedo Works might allow for customization of torpedoes, such as:
Warhead type (explosive, incendiary, etc.)
Propulsion system (speed, range)
Targeting mechanisms
Material Analysis:
Zinc Ingot: Commonly used for creating containers, it might be used for the outer shells or compartments of the torpedoes.
Shellac: A protective coating, it could help prevent moisture damage to the torpedo’s internal components or gunpowder.
Sheet Glass: The presence of glass is intriguing. It might be used for:
Observation windows to monitor the assembly process or internal mechanisms.
Specialized lenses for targeting systems (in higher tiers).
Crude Saltpeter: A key ingredient in gunpowder, it suggests the use of explosive warheads for the torpedoes.
Screw Mechanism: This suggests moving parts within the Torpedo Works, potentially for:
Machinery involved in assembling or shaping the torpedoes.
Mechanisms for testing or calibrating the torpedoes before deployment.
Importance of Torpedo Works:
Having your own Torpedo Works grants you greater self-sufficiency, allowing you to build your torpedo stockpile without relying solely on purchasing them from ports.
The potential for customization in higher tiers can give you a tactical advantage by tailoring your torpedoes to specific situations or enemy types.
