Dear Settlers!

A new version is planned to be deployed on the 22nd of July. It will (re)introduce a building many of you have been waiting for. Also, a new special goldmine will be available for a limited time only. Last but not least there is news about Quest XP to Star Coins conversion!


Let's start with the The Granite Pit:

Level requirement: Minimum level for the new building is 26
Capacity: Includes 3.000 units of granite. It uses 3 units to produce one granite (resource)
Upgrades: It can be upgraded to level 5. For each upgrade it uses 3 more units of granite inside the building to produce one extra. I.e. with level two: 6 units used, 2 units output
Limitation: Purchase cooldown time of 1 week
Tradable / Giftable: No
Building license: No building license is needed
Buffs: The output can be increased by using productivity buffs
Refill: Can be refilled with omniseeds
Moving: It is not possible to move this building
Recurring: The building won't go back to the star menu when it's depleted or when you demolish it. There is a warning message when you want to destroy it

The gold mine will be available through a "Limited Offers" promotion.
More information to follow.




Last but not least, we've got good news for all level 50 players! Once you reached level 50, XP from quests was lost.
This will change in the new game version with "XP to Star Coins".

The following information applies to level 50 players only:



Open quests: All open quests will provide Star Coins instead of XP
Upcoming quests: All upcoming quests will provide Star Coins instead of XP

All former XP rewards from quests that were not taken into account by the game because of the level-cap will be refunded as Star Coins a few weeks later.

During one of the weekly maintenances to follow, a special script will gather all information, calculate the amount of Star Coins and refund them directly to the account. More information will be provided soon.

Please feel free to leave your feedback here (http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/28698-Feedback-Granite-Pit-new-Special-Goldmine-Quest-Experience-Points-to-Starcoins?p=261616&viewfull=1#post261616).

Happy settling!

The following information only applies to players with level 50



Dear Settlers,

During the next maintenance all former Experience Points gained by level 50 players upon finishing quests (that couldn’t be added before because of the level cap) will be refunded. The amount of Star Coins to be refunded was calculated over the last weeks. More details on that can be found in the above Dev Diary (http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/28697-Dev-Diary-Granite-Pit-new-Special-Goldmine-Quest-Experience-Points-to-Starcoins?p=261615&viewfull=1#post261615).

All affected players will receive an in-game mail during this week's maintenance. The corresponding Star Coins will be attached to that mail.

Happy settling!
