Editing Dispatch

'''Dispatch''' sends idle tamed [[Creatures]] from your stable on timed auto-missions. You assign a squad, the mission runs on a real-time countdown (progressing offline), and on completion the squad returns with loot. Dispatch is a hands-off way to put stabled dinos to work while you focus on other skills.

== How it works ==

* You start with 1 mission slot. More slots come from the '''Expedition Ledger''' [[Shop]] upgrade (up to 3) and the '''Field Ledger''' from the Mark Exchange (see [[Contracts]]).
* Each mission has a '''difficulty''' rating on the same scale as expeditions. Your assigned squad's combined strength is compared against it — a squad of three geared mid-game dinos (around score 90) is comfortable through Night Patrol and a coin-flip on Deep Scout.
* Your [[Homestead]] Watchtower adds expedition strength, improving mission odds.
* Missions run for a fixed duration, then pay out loot. Some loot items are guaranteed; others have a drop chance.
* '''Failure never zeroes a run''' — a failed mission simply halves the loot, so a dispatch is never a total loss.

Percentages show the drop chance for that item; items without a percentage are guaranteed. Longer, higher-difficulty missions reach into rarer materials and gems.
