Corsair Cove Bombardiers: required building missing fix

Direct answer
If Corsair Cove still says Bombardiers are missing the required building, verify that the Outfitter belongs to the same Pirate Camp as the Pier. The Reddit replies warn that overlapping camp ranges can assign a building to the wrong camp; check which camp is highlighted while placing it.
A solved Reddit player report found that an Outfitter can be present yet fail the Bombardiers requirement when it belongs to a different Pirate Camp than the Pier. This is a community report, not an independently confirmed official rule.
What the player saw
The Reddit author had Medicine, Boots and an Outfitter, but the Bombardiers hiring screen still reported a missing required building. The author also noted that the Outfitter was only two buildings away.
The reported fix
The author solved the warning by assigning the Outfitter to the same Pirate Camp associated with the Pier. A reply adds that overlapping camp ranges can assign a building to the wrong camp.
- Check the Outfitter's Pirate Camp association, not only its physical distance.
- Make the Outfitter and Pier use the same Pirate Camp before trying to hire the Bombardiers.
Placement check
A second reply advises watching which Pirate Camp is highlighted while building. Do not assume a particular reassignment button or menu exists; those controls are not documented by this report.
Evidence boundary
This page preserves a solved player report and two corroborating comments from r/CorsairCove. The sources do not state a game version and the official Wiki was not used to independently confirm this behavior, so treat it as a practical community check rather than a guaranteed mechanic for every map or future patch.
