Greetings, Settlers 🏛️

This update brings a long-awaited feature — direct control over your production flow — alongside important fixes and balance improvements across the settlement.

Work Distribution System

You can now decide how work effort is distributed between multiple active production slots within a building.

No more flat production — you’re in control now.

Combined with increased worker capacity, this unlocks a new layer of strategy and efficiency:

  • Prioritize what matters most

  • Adapt production to shortages

  • Fine-tune your settlement’s output

Your feedback continues to shape the game — and this feature is a direct result of it.

🐞 Major Fixes

This update also focuses stability and core systems:

  • Fixed a critical issue where buildings could be lost after saving/loading

  • Fixed some missing professions of workers

  • Fixed couples forming far too rarely

  • Fixed settlement and building wealth resetting after researching technologies

  • Fixed new settlers missing daily needs cost

  • Fixed incorrect resource loading from save files

🔧 Improvements & Balancing

We’ve continued refining the core economy and production balance:

  • Rebalanced several production boost bonuses

  • Adjusted how the settlement pays for produced goods

  • Adjusted upgrade costs across multiple buildings

  • Buildings now start with a default production selected

  • Rebalanced several production recipes to better match the goods demand

  • Building level color will change when wealth is enough to start the current upgrade

Final Note

This update may look focused on production — but behind the scenes, something much bigger is taking shape.

Caravans are moving. Traders are coming. And the foundations of a full coin-based economy are being built.

Not ready to be revealed just yet… but it won’t stay hidden for long.

As always — thank you for supporting the journey. Your feedback shapes every update.
