Settlement Survival Dev Log #4
I know I know. I know we just posted dev log 3. No worries and no bad news. We are here to spread words to anyone who might be interested in that Settlement Survival mobile will be officially released on March 9th, the first discounted price of 4.99$.
The mobile version of the game has its own pros that players can pick it up at anytime. We very much hope players who don't have enough time to play PC games will enjoy Settlement Survival mobile.
As mentioned in the last dev log, SS mobile is in charge of an independent team. Our development work is still focusing on PC games.
And next is the latest progress from the dev team:
For Travel/Tourist DLC, as we finalized the relevant formula a few days ago, the previous design work has come to an end. Next, we will enter the substantial development stage. The work of program and art will proceed as we planed. Now let me give you a brief intro about Travel/Tourist DLC.
The Travel/Tourists System will bring 3 new attributes: Satisfaction, Attraction and View Points.
We have prepared 12 kinds of architecture. They can be visually different in size or in level. Around the scenic spots, we need to provide entertainment and service facilities for tourists. These facilities are roughly divided into 5 types, and each type can be subdivided into several different kinds of buildings.
Except the architecture that are exclusive for Travel/Tourist System, do you remember the View Points mentioned just now which can change the appearance of structure? Yep, that means the appearance of most structures in game can be changed. It's worth expecting, but we still have more work to do. Anyway, we will try our best to complete it before the time.
In addition to Travel/Tourists System, the new DLC also contain some parts of Policy and Law feature which is only a small part. This doesn’t mean Policy and Law will be a whole systematic part in the new DLC. The Policy and Law feature will be updated in the stable version, but the Travel/Tourists System will only be available when players download the new DLC. It's not a big problem because our first DLC will be 99.9999% free. The description of Policy and Law feature is pretty simple. It can temporarily or permanently affect some elements in the current game. However, the specific features are various in game.
Infinite Technology is not a complicated feature. It will also be updated in the stable version. It was firstly designed to solve the problem that Tech Points become a bit useless at the later stage in game. It’s not a , but who wouldn’t like a permanent upgrade of attributes. More details will be shown in the future updates.
We will keep you guys updated for the future updates. Some content will be released ahead of time for sure, but most of them are little pieces in game. And the transformation to Steam Deck is kind of an accident, we will release it once it's all done.
The development of Travel/Tourists DLC still needs time and that’s all I can share for now. Please look forward to it!

The Travel/Tourists System will bring 3 new attributes: Satisfaction, Attraction and View Points.
- Attraction will affect the number of tourists to the town. The number here not only refers to tourists, but also immigrants. Attraction generated from scenic spots and affected by Satisfaction.
- Satisfaction generated from tourists' evaluation. You can get higher Satisfaction by serving your tourists well and meeting their needs.
- View Points is actually a new special coins that can be used to purchase certain resources, like changing the appearance of the structure (Please forgive me for not being able to share more, but I believe you will find it interesting).
