Expedition Automation
Sends expeditions automatically with configurable fleet composition, minimum cargo, delays, system selection, and max loot targets.
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 and minimum cargo, then set delays between launches. Optional smart system selection uses performance data to pick systems. The bot launches from selected planets or moons.
Settings
- Fleet Configuration: Defines which ships and quantities are sent on expeditions.
- Minimum Cargo: Ensures expeditions launch only when enough cargo is available.
- Delay Between Expeditions: Controls pacing between expedition launches.
- 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.
- Extra Delay After Latest Return: Adds a buffer after the last returning expedition.
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.
