Aquatic Compartment — Tame Transport
Tides of Fortune Aquatic Compartment — enclosed water rooms for tame transport, underwater habitats, ship deck pools, and ocean creature management.
Aquatic Compartment Overview
The Aquatic Compartment creates enclosed water-filled spaces for keeping aquatic creatures, building underwater habitats, or constructing swimming pools. Patch 89.25 introduced it as a ship tileset and harbor structure for transporting tames across the Genesis ocean on Sloop and Brigantine vessels.
Naval captains use Aquatic Compartments to move ocean tames between harbor bases, deploy creatures during Ocean Outpost shore assaults, and maintain breeding programs at water-adjacent harbor locations. The structure bridges land-based tribe operations and offshore naval gameplay.
Server configuration option NeedsPowerToActivateAquaticCompartments defaults to True on unofficial servers — compartments require power to activate on private servers.
Ship vs Harbor Placement
Ship-mounted: Snap Aquatic Compartments to designated deck tileset zones. Transport tames across ocean biomes without leaving them behind at harbor. Brigantines accommodate multiple compartments alongside cannons and storage — Sloops have limited deck space, prioritize essentials.
Harbor placement: Build permanent underwater habitats near your Shipyard. Breed aquatic tames, store expedition-ready creatures, and create swimming pool amenities for Luxury harbor aesthetics.
Plan tileset layout before committing resources. See the customization guide for optimal deck configurations by playstyle.
Gameplay Applications
Transport Palaeoctopus and other ocean tames on offshore voyages. Shore teams deploy compartment-held creatures during Ocean Outpost dynamite phases for thrall clearance support.

Combine with Aquarium display structures at harbor for a complete aquatic creature ecosystem — transport in Compartments, display prized catches in Aquariums.
