New Stuff: Moving locations/sites

[RaginCajun]

So I haven't played in a few months.  Got updates and checking out the new stuff.  A few questions...

1. It appears instead of building your own ship, you now "move" to a ship location.  Does this entail now building smaller, less permanant settlements and then slowly moving towards the ship?

2. When you get asked to destroy a stronghold, is this similar to when you get attacked?  Should you have advanced weaponry, grenades to blow walls, etc just like the attackers on your settlement have?

This is just a new possible victory condition, triggered by the event Journey offer. Other victory conditions still exist.

This is a World quest event, and they are a bit advanced from what I understand. Haven't tried them yet, but seem to be late-mid-to-end-game content.

No you don't get new smaller stuff at the vanilia game. But you got 2 methods to move on.
1. Caravan,
move slowly, need food and caravan animals to carry your stuff.
You pack up all your stuff, travel so far your got food, settle again, harvest and create new food...
2. Launch pods,
move very quick, need chemfuel and steel/components to build.
You build alot of launcher and pods, load your stuff into the pods and launch. Settle again...

... you repeat this until you reach the loaction of the ship (northpol).

Ofcourse there are mods for lightweight equipment, Set-up camp, sleeping bags, tents.

2. When you get asked to destroy a stronghold, is this similar to when you get attacked?  Should you have advanced weaponry, grenades to blow walls, etc just like the attackers on your settlement have?

Basicly yes, but you only need to kill the defender, and even not all because mosttimes they start to flee.
After they flee/dead you won and you can plunder/deconstruct all at the map, grab the stuff and head back (you only got a limited time for this before the map get closed).
