The '''Port''' is a major [[Buildings|infrastructure building]] that enables maritime [[trade]] with other settlements. It is the primary structure for establishing sea-based commerce and serves as the anchor for all port-related construction.

== Overview ==
The Port must be placed on a coastline and requires '''{{#expr:abs({{BuildingData|name=port|data=balance|resource=population}})}}''' workers to operate. It is one of the most resource-intensive buildings in the game since it costs {{formatnum:{{BuildingData|name=port|data=cost|biome=wood|resource=wood}}}} of the local [[Biomes|biome]] resource along with {{BuildingData|name=port|data=cost|biome=wood|resource=stone}} of a secondary material and {{BuildingData|name=port|data=cost|biome=wood|resource=tools}} {{Icon|Tools}} in every biome. In the [[Wood Biome|Wood]] and [[Arctic Biome|Arctic biomes]], construction requires {{formatnum:{{BuildingData|name=port|data=cost|biome=wood|resource=wood}}}} {{Icon|Wood}} and {{BuildingData|name=port|data=cost|biome=wood|resource=stone}} {{Icon|Stone}}. In the [[Stone Biome|Stone biome]] construction requires {{BuildingData|name=port|data=cost|biome=stone|resource=wood}} {{Icon|Wood}} and {{formatnum:{{BuildingData|name=port|data=cost|biome=stone|resource=stone}}}} {{Icon|Stone}}. The [[Earth Biome|Earth biome]] substitutes {{Icon|Earth}} for {{Icon|Stone}}, requiring {{BuildingData|name=port|data=cost|biome=earth|resource=wood}} {{Icon|Wood}} and {{formatnum:{{BuildingData|name=port|data=cost|biome=earth|resource=earth}}}} {{Icon|Earth}}.

Once built, the Port unlocks trading and halves all transport costs, making it a critical investment for settlements that rely on importing or exporting goods. It provides '''{{formatnum:{{BuildingData|name=port|data=marketStorage}}}}''' units of trade storage capacity for goods.

The Port also acts as a parent structure for further maritime expansion. [[Dock]]s can be constructed within 20 meters of the Port to extend it, and ships {{C|[[Small Ship]], [[Medium Ship]], and [[Large Ship]]}} can be built from Docks to increase trade volume and range.
