    [Dev Diary] Island Expansion

    Dear Settlers,

    Last month we released a Sneak Peek in which we presented a game version with 4 additional islands to the home island archipelago.
    It is now time for the version to hit the live instances, so let's take a closer look at what has changed from the previously announced test server version!

    In order to increase the building space, additional building slots will be made available across four islands:

    Sector 20:
    • A default island (green grass) with 14 building spots and 3 water building spots.
    • The island contains as well granite and saltpeter deposits.
    • The island is located in the north.

    Sector 21:
    • A default island (green grass) with 13 building spots and 2 water building spots.
    • The island contains as well titanium and saltpeter deposits.
    • The island is located in the north.

    Sector 22:
    • A desert island with 16 building spots and 7 water building spots.
    • The island contains no deposits.
    • The island is located in the south.

    Sector 23:
    • A desert island with 16 building spots and 7 water building spots.
    • The island contains no deposits.
    • The island is located in the south.

    In order to access these new islands, make sure you explored the independent islands to the south. For that, a minimum level of 50 is required. The unlock order by sector number is the following: 10, 11, 12, 22, 13, 23, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21. An island deed would be necessary to claim the newly explored islands - please keep in mind that you won't be able to use the deed unless you explored the southern islands!

    Name: Island Deed (Limit: 7)
    Description: A deed for an independent island. Use it on an explored island to claim it for yourself. Does not work with the island sectors.
    Price: 3,495 gems


    We hope you'll enjoy the extra settling space! Share your thoughts with the Community in the dedicated feedback thread!

    Happy Settling!

    Dear Settlers,

    We'd like to shed some light on the deposits that were just made available along with the new islands:

    Each deposit type is split into several deposit groups, containing different amounts of deposits with different sizes. Each deposit group contains deposits of one type and with one specific size. Each group also has a certain amount of deposits and a maximum number of active deposits at the same time. The number of active deposits can be lower than the overall amount of deposits in the group. In this case, not every deposit in the group can be found actively. Which of the existing deposits are picked is defined randomly.



    Download the map: small, (1.91 MB) medium, (8.06 MB) original (huge), (90.5 MB)

    Titanium
    • Max. 3 out of 4 available deposits
    • +1 in comparison to before

    Saltpeter
    • Max. 4 out of 6 available deposits
    • +1 in comparison to before

    Granite
    • Max. 3 out of 4 available deposits
    • +0 in comparison to before
    • The usage of granite is more limited in comparison to titanium ore and saltpeter. The amount of available granite is higher in comparison to titanium ore and saltpeter. That is the reason why we decided not to increase the amount of deposits for granite.

    Our team is following your feedback closely and will address your concerns in regard to the granite deposits, although it might take a while. We are also working on providing an overall documentation about the deposits across the whole island.

    Happy settling,
