Expedition Automation

Sends expeditions automatically with selectable launch celestials, cargo mode, fleet composition, delays, smart system selection, and return buffers.

Overview

Expedition automation is the core OGame expedition bot module. It keeps expedition slots filled with consistent launches while letting you control fleet composition, cargo thresholds, timing, system choice, and which planets or moons participate.

Use this guide when you want steady expedition farming without manually relaunching fleets after every return.

How It Works

Configure the expedition fleet, choose automatic or manual cargo mode, then set delays between launches. Optional smart system selection uses performance data to pick systems. The bot launches from selected planets or moons and can wait for delayed fleets before starting the next wave.

Settings

Fleet Configuration: Defines which ships and quantities are sent on expeditions.
Cargo Ship Mode: Uses automatic cargo calculation or manual ship quantities.
Minimum Cargo: In automatic mode, ensures expeditions launch only when enough cargo is available.
Delay Between Expeditions: Controls pacing between expedition launches.
Wait Time When Not All Sent: Controls how long the bot waits when it could not send every planned expedition.
System Random Range: Randomizes nearby systems within a range.
Use Smart System Selection: Chooses systems based on historical performance and ROI.
Maximum Expected Loot: Caps cargo calculations for efficient fleet sizing.
Selected Celestials: Limits expeditions to selected planets or moons.
Latest Return Delay: Adds a buffer after the latest returning expedition.
Wait For Delayed Fleets: Prevents relaunching too early while delayed fleets are still returning.
Pause Expeditions: Temporarily pauses expedition launches without deleting the configuration.

When To Use Expedition Automation

Use it when expeditions are part of your regular resource income.
Use Selected Celestials when only some planets or moons have the ships and deuterium needed.
Use smart system selection after the bot has enough performance data to compare systems.
Use extra return delay when you want less predictable relaunch timing.

Recommended Setup

Start with a fleet composition that your account can replace comfortably.
Set Minimum Cargo high enough to avoid weak launches.
Keep launch delays realistic instead of forcing immediate relaunches.
Enable smart system selection only after you have collected enough expedition performance data.
Pair this module with OGame expedition performance stats to review results.

Common Mistakes

Oversizing fleets with unrealistic maximum loot assumptions.
Selecting celestials that do not have enough ships or cargo.
Setting delays so low that the routine becomes easy to spot.
Changing system-selection settings before enough data exists.

Best Practices

Use a stable fleet setup to keep expedition results consistent.
Avoid very short delays to reduce detectability.
Keep maximum loot realistic to avoid oversizing your fleet.

FAQ

Can the OGame bot choose expedition systems automatically?

Yes. Enable smart system selection when you want the bot to use historical performance data to choose systems.

Can I limit expedition automation to specific planets or moons?

Yes. Use Selected Celestials to control which locations can launch expeditions.

Should I use the shortest possible delay?

No. More realistic delays are better for pacing and reduce repetitive launch patterns.
