Use this flow to understand where Longship enters progression and why it matters before crafting everything else.

Use it as the iron hauler

A Longship turns iron from a risky backpack trickle into a planned logistics route. Keep the portal for people and repairs, then move ore by ship when enough crypts are cleared to justify the trip.

How to get it

Craft with iron nails and other materials.
