Commissioning activates a mapped Source, Factory or Settlement with its initial cargo delivery. Until that delivery is complete, the Live Map and radio menu show the commissioning requirement instead of ordinary operating stock.

1. Select the mapped but inactive site on the Live Map and note its required cargo.
2. Find a Source or Factory that can provide that cargo and choose an aircraft that can carry it.
3. Stage and load the crate, then navigate to the inactive site.
4. Deliver with Cargo > Deliver with the aircraft at the marked construction point, exactly as for a normal cargo delivery.
5. If more than one crate is required, recheck the remaining requirement before the next flight.

Success. A commissioned Source starts producing after its final crate arrives. A commissioned Factory begins accepting recipe inputs. A commissioned Hub or City begins consuming Food, gains level 1 and can hold non-Food Reserve cargo.

The tyre at the construction point turns into a helipad two minutes after the final delivery. Take off and clear the spot before then: the helipad appears exactly where the tyre lies.

Commissioning cargo is delivered normally and is not paid from a Settlement Reserve.
