How to reach Aery in the Light Wind sled
Important: You cannot feed the dogs if you are on another land and you have left all your dog food at home. So store some food on lands as you reach them and have the storage building finished. Wind’s Song and Aery are great places to have emergency stores of food.
Upgrade your first sled “Small Sled” at Wind’s Song to the “Light Wind” sled.
Store some dog food at Wind’s Song
Open your map and hover over Aery, you will see that Aery is 190 km away and will take 8 days to reach. The Light Wind can travel only 125 km before you have to rest the dogs.
To reach Aery you have to rest the dogs somewhere, this will be Wind’s Song. If you haven’t already stored food here then load some now to the sled.
Go to Wind’s Song - 89 km away & 4 days to reach. Dogs will eat 8 food
Unload the dog food and feed the dogs here.
Now you can continue to Aery.
To return home you will have to take the same route via Wind’s Song. When you click the Home button the game will take you home via the most direct route (it will calculate the stopovers needed)
How to get Home with No Food
If you “get stuck” on a land with no food for the dogs unload your sled (if you have the storage building constructed) or try to reach a closer land with storage and unload,
1. Click the HOME button in the bottom left corner of the screen.
2. Click the red GO button in the pop-up informing you that you will lose your load.
3. Click the red GO button in the 2nd pop-up to confirm your decision to go back home.
If you could not unload your sled you will lose all materials on it. You will not lose any enhancements or travel items.
Remember you can only feed dogs if you have food in storage on the land you are currently visiting.
This all sounds very confusing, but it is important now to understand how the sled works, as you upgrade your sled and begin using enhancements you will be able to travel anywhere with the sled with minimum stops.
