Contracts

Welcome to Seaport's 3rd Birthday Event! In this event, Uncle Seaport returns to give you 20 contracts. After that, Rudolf Diesel will offer you another 30 contracts. Barrels are replaced by birthday cakes, and peanuts are farmed for peanut oil which powers the newly introduced motor ships!

Update 13 November 2018: Two new non-event ships were added, the Beaver and the HMS Wolverine. No new event content was added, but the travel time to Rudolf Diesel's contracts was reduced from 2 hours to 1 hour.

Update 20 November 2018: This was a big, big update and it will take some time to update all the information on the Wikia. Let's have a look:

• Six new ships: Orlanda, Griffdu, Hunyad, Elbe, Dalewood, and Rotarian.
• Four new Materials: Oil, Fuel, Cement, and Concrete.
• Two new destinations: Oil Field and Cement Factory.
• Four new achievements: Oil Tycoon, Chemist, Supplier of Cement, and Concrete Mixer.
• Other: all ships have increased cargo, and achievements were balanced.

Storyline

Uncle Seaport

#	Title	Story	Send	Get
1	Hello there!	How are you doing, captain? Have you been taking care of my port? Well, it's your port now, I guess. Let's have some warm fish soup and talk about the old times when you arrived here.
2	Party Attire	You are probably asking why I have come to visit you again? Just look at my hat. We are celebrating the third birthday of our wonderful port! Now go buy yourself such a hat too.
3	Tough start	You might not have been here for so long but I remember the humble beginnings. We had to start from scratch building the first house and the first ship from scraps of wood.
4	Progress	I can see you have moved on and your port has become a great modern town. Don't forget to upgrade your port continually. Progress is everything in the marine business and everywhere else too.
5	Celebration	So let's prepare the Seaport birthday party. Bring balloons and party hats. It will be in a few days. You and all your sailors are invited.
6	Present and more	There is a fantastic birthday present waiting for you. But that's not all. I will keep it a secret for now. Let me just say you will need a lot of materials for new ships, captain.
7	Peanut lover	What would be a birthday party without some tasty snacks? How about peanuts? Everyone loves the salty crunchy nuts and I am no exception.
8	Seafood buffet	Something more filling should be on the tables too. For a Seaport party, it should be some seafood. And show me a sailor who does not like fish.
9	The venue	I think the best place for the party is the Town Hall. But is it large enough? How about you upgrade her once more. Just to be sure we all will fit in.
10	Last thing	The Town Hall is ready for the celebration. We just need something to drink and then we can celebrate. So let's go buy some drinks for the party.
11	Happy Birthday!	It's time I told you about the surprise. You have a magnificent fleet but the technological progress is going further. I have arranged a visit by Mr. Rudolf Diesel. He will help you make some great ships.
12	Great invention	Mr. Diesel has made a revolution in the industry. He has constructed a motor run by oil. It's much more powerful than a steam engine. We must get this invention for our port!
13	Start of new age	The motor ships are going to make our work so much easier. We just need to gain knowledge from Mr. Diesel and start constructing new vessels. Let me speak to your sailors to prepare them for this too.
14	Belling rumbling	Let's prepare some food for our guest. We want him to feel welcome in our port. Well, technically it's your port now and I am a guest now too. So I might just eat some of that food too.
15	A place to work	Mr. Diesel will need a workshop where he can do his magic. Let's build it now so he can get to work as soon as he arrives.
16	Peanut mystery	I have acquired some secret information. It seems Mr. Diesel loves peanuts. He has ordered tons of them. Maybe he is secretly keeping an elephant but I doubt that.
17	Tomorrow is the day	I hope everything is ready because our guest will arrive tomorrow. We should have some finances at hand in case he needs something for his research.
18	It's up to you	I am sure you can handle the cooperation with Mr. Diesel on your own. You are the captain and master of the port after all. I will just jump on my boat and go as soon as she is repaired.
19	It's time	My boat is ready to take me back home. And the future is already knocking on your door. Or maybe it's just Mr. Diesel. I can't wait to see the first motor ship in your fleet.
20	Good luck!	See you later, captain! And just in case, bring more peanuts. I want Mr. Diesel to feel like at home.
	Reward	Until later, captain! I hope we will see each other again next year. Have fun with Mr. Diesel.	20 +Xcap

Rudolf Diesel

Contract		Title	Story	Send	Get
I	1	Call me Rudolf	I received an invitation to visit your port. I love traveling by ships so it will be a pleasure to work with you. Have you already started amassing the materials?
	2	Hungry visitor	The voyage was quite long and I have grown really hungry. There was not much fresh food on the ship. Before we get to work, let's get something tasty to eat.
	3	I forgot something	I will need some things from my laboratory at home. Can we send your sailors for them? Meanwhile, we can start talking about the project.
	4	Empty pockets	Your men did a good job. Now I have everything I need to start work. I would give them some gold as a reward for being so swift, alas I have my pockets empty.
	5	Prototype	Currently, the diesel engine is just a prototype. We must be prepared for some failures. I will build a new one from scratch and try to avoid the previous shortcomings.
	6	Dangerous project	Do we have some secure space where we can experiment? In case of a failure, the engine could explode. That house will do, but we should put some warning signs outside.
	7	Peanut Port	Anyway, why do you have so many peanuts here? One would think you have an army of elephants in your port. Actually, I might have a use for them! For the peanuts, not for the elephants.
	8	Great fuel	Peanut oil or any other vegetable oil is a perfect fuel for my engine. However, I am afraid it won't be efficient for mass production. But we will solve that later. Let's buy us some more oil.
	9	Cold box	I don't want you to go running around too much when I need you here to assist me. So bring in some food in advance. We can store it in another one of my inventions, the refrigerating box.
	10	Accidents happen	While you were gone, there was an accident. Thankfully, I was out too or it might have ended badly for me. But the house is quite a mess.
	11	Too much oil	With your sailors' help, we will be done with the rebuilding sooner. I know now where the problem was. I might have used too much oil. Let's be more careful in the future.
	12	Solid material	This new engine is going to work and it will be perfect for a ship. You construct the ship and I the engine. I would advise making the hull from metal in case of accidental explosions.
	13	Almost done	The ship looks great. And the engine is ready too. Now we just need to install it. I will take care of that. You make sure there is a dock large enough in your port for this new vessel.
	14	Useful oil	We need more fuel for the ship. I used the oil we had to fry fish when I was hungry. I am sure you can get us more, right?
	15	The best fish	Actually, the fish tasted great. So if we could get more, that would be fantastic.
		Reward	Let's have a short break, captain, and welcome our two new assistants. I am sure they will help us finish our work much faster.	+150%cap +250%cap
II	1	She is amazing	Well, look at her! No sails or steam and yet she is so fast. But a new technology is not cheap. I had to invest some of my own money to construct the parts.
	2	Let me explain	Let's show your crew how to take care of a motor ship. It's nothing complicated, but there are a few differences to sailing vessels or steamships.
	3	Change is coming	A Motor ship will be able to carry much more cargo than a steamer. Oil is much more space efficient than coal. You better prepare your warehouses for the change.
	4	Almost safe	At first, I advise taking some spare parts with you on the voyages. The ship version of the motor is not completely failproof yet. Let's go to the Hardware Store, I will tell you what you need.
	5	Fuel issues	I am sure that in time we will come up with a better alternative to the peanut oil. But for now, let's buy a few gallons. This was the first fuel I used for my prototype as well.
	6	There is more	The ship is working fine but my work here is still not done. I have to give my know-how and then we can talk about the business part of our deal. But first, let's have a look at your fleet.
	7	Important experience	It is a great fleet but with the motor ships, it will be even better. Of course, you will need some experience to use the motor ships. Until then just keep on trading and fishing.
	8	This is business	The patent for the diesel engine will cost you some money. I like you, captain, but you must understand this is a serious business. I can't just give away things for free.
	9	Good crew	Maybe sometime in the future, there will be ships which can sail without sailors. But now we still need a good crew to manage the ship. Make sure you explain the new things to them.
	10	We need space	Now let's go have a look at your docks. I know you have already made some adjustments but the motor ships will take up much more space in your fleet than your current vessels.
	11	Peanut Mania	If you still have some peanuts in your warehouse we can produce oil from them. It's good to have some fuel in reserve and you can even use it for cooking.
	12	Bonus for free	Look here, these are the plans for my earlier invention, the refrigerating machine. It can be a useful thing even on a ship. You will need some metal to build it.
	13	Packing	Now my work here is done. Your port is ready for the technological revolution. Help me pack my things, I need all the equipment delivered back into my lab at home.
	14	Massage home	I have just one more request for you. Please deliver a letter to my wife in Munich. I will take a ship home but I guess your sailors can deliver it sooner than I arrive.
	15	Goodbye	It was a pleasure, captain. You have a beautiful port and fleet. With my new technology, it will become even better. We will probably never see each other again, so take care.
		Reward	I hope you will take good care of my invention. A ship deserves love like any young maiden. Farewell, captain.	20 +Xcap
