[Dev Diary] Bugs Appear!
Bugs: More information about upcoming feature - Bugs.
Dear Settlers,
This developer's diary entry is related to a new feature: Bugs! The feature is available for players level 1 and above.
More information can be found below.
The bug system offers the possibility to create new bugs using bugs instead of standard resources. For this purpose, the new tab called bugs has been added to Mayor's house interface and the Military tab has been removed from there. The bugs tab shows an overview of all bugs that have been acquired so far and what can be produced out of them.
After the bug from the "bugs" tab is produced (without speeding up completion), you need to collect it from Mayor's house.
How do you do this? It's easy:
1. Click on Mayor's House building on your home island.
2. Go to the bugs tab.
3. Click "Pick Up" button.
4. After you've done this, the bug will go directly to your star menu.
The bugs can be found on the home island and adventure maps. These special bugs are being placed in random places on the home island a few times per day. In order to collect them, you must find these bugs on the island and click on them.
Bugs on adventure maps follow a different rule. They are spawned at the start of the adventure and are not re-spawned over time after you collect them. Every time you pick-up a bug from a map, you receive a certain amount of it.
All bugs can be traded and are located in "Miscellaneous" category in the Trade window interface.
Bugs can be present on both types of zones: home islands and adventure maps.

In the bugs tab in the Mayor's house, you will notice that bugs have different background colours. These colours are indicating rarity. A brown background colour indicates common bugs, green indicates uncommon and blue indicates rare ones.
