Duty station
 Examples of Carpentry/Patching, Gunnery, and Sailing/Rigging duty stations aboard a ship. |
A duty station is a specific post associated with a specific puzzle. Each duty station will display an oval label. Aboard a ship, each duty station will be associated with a duty puzzle, while within a stall or a shoppe, each duty station will be associated with the corresponding crafting puzzle. When you click on a station's label, the label will display a radial menu of the options available for that station.
For each type of station aboard a ship (save the one for Navigation), clicking will display a pair of options for each associated duty puzzle -- "How to play (Puzzle)" and "Play (Puzzle)". The Navigation station will also display this same pair of options, but it will also display additional options involving voyage configuration.
Aboard ship, these are the types of duty stations within the game at this time (along with their associated duty puzzle(s) and their function within the game):
- Sailing/Rigging -- ship's movement
- Carpentry/Patching -- repairing the ship
- Bilging -- emptying the ship's bilge of excess water seepage
- Gunnery -- loading the ship's cannons
- Navigation -- directing the ship's movement
Crafting station

Just like the a duty station aboard a ship, a crafting station within a stall or shoppe will display an oval label. Also, when you click on the oval, you'll get the same radial menu with the same two basic options (although the option to play the puzzle will say "Do yer job" instead).
The number of stations within the business place will depend upon the size of the stall/shoppe. Furthermore, the specific puzzles for these stations will always be the one for that business.
