Fixed a truncated word, added a caliber comparison table versus the 24-pound and 36-pound cannons (damage, reload, cost, hull fit), and explained the reload-versus-damage tradeoff.

Each station tier accepts higher-grade metals and planks, letting you re-craft this gun with whichever material pipeline your base currently supports.1818Station TierIngredientsOutputCraft TimeLevel 1Copper Ingot x10, Wood x1012-Pounders x11s (60/min)Level 6Foothills Iron Ingot x10, Timber x412-Pounders x11s (60/min)Level 11Mire Metal Ingot x10, Tarred Planks x5, Shipwright's Tools x212-Pounders x11s (60/min)2020Caliber Comparison2121All three baseline cannon calibers share the same 380 ATK ceiling, Range Rank A, Accuracy Rank B, and Max Item Level 15. The difference is per-volley damage against reload time and the material cost to build them. The 12-pound gun is the lightest and fastest-reloading of the three.2323CaliberDamage (Max)ReloadLevel 1 CostFits12-Pounders150011sCopper Ingot x10, Wood x10Every hull24-Poundersapprox. 2000longer than 12-poundhigher metal and wood costmost mid and large hulls36-Pounders250014sCopper Ingot x20, Wood x20Blackbeard Frigate only2525The 12-pound gun reloads three seconds faster than a 36-pound gun, which matters in sustained Naval Combat where total broadsides landed often beats raw per-shot damage. Because every hull in the game carries at least one 12-pound slot, this caliber is the universal fallback while you gather materials for heavier guns. The exact 24-pound damage figure is not confirmed in the current data, so treat it as an interpolation between the 12 and 36 values.2626When to Use2828The baseline 12-Pounders is the most accessible cannon of its caliber and requires no Recipe Papers to craft. It trades mechanical effect for raw availability, which matters when you need to re-arm mid-campaign or outfit a new hull quickly before hunting down higher-tier plans.3030See Also3232Cannons: full roster of every ship-weapon variantNaval Combat: how cannons resolve damageShipwright's Workshop: primary crafting stationShip Customization: pairing cannons with hull, hull mods, and naval tactics12-Pounders: Tempered: related variant12-Pounders: Devastating: related variant12-Pounders: Perfectly Ordered: related variant3434Details3636Crafted By3838Crafted at: Shipwright's Workshop4040IngredientQuantityCopper Ingotx10Woodx104242Disassembles Into4343MaterialQuantityCopper Ingot×10Wood×104545Fits Ships4646ShipBlackbeard BrigBlackbeard FrigateBlackbeard KetchBrethren BrigBrethren FrigateBrethren KetchBrigFrigateKetch
