Settlement Survival News

Hello everyone!

Next week marks an important milestone for Settlement Survival as we deliver an update, with some key localizations and our Christmas experience.



Before we get into all that, we wanted to share with you something very important: our official roadmap!

As a big thank you to all of you who’ve bought the game, wishlisted or followed us, we wanted to give you an insight into what’s on the horizon over the coming weeks and months as we work towards our full launch next year. (open it in a new tab to get a closer look!)



We've already delivered over 20 updates since October. Now our roadmap stretches all the way to Q2 2022. We aim to deliver major improvements and content across almost every area of the game. From reworking our storage systems, to new factions, trade and a partial UI rework, it will also see the addition of new stories, modes and improved map elements.

There’s a lot to do, but we’re passionate about making Settlement Survival as good as it can be. Thank you for all your feedback and bug reports so far.



Besides next week’s update, we’ll also be switching on our Christmas event! Here’s the full details:

[h3]1. Giant Christmas Tree 🎄[/h3]


Appearance: A giant Christmas tree, 10*12 (squares) in size, with plenty of fairy lights, some gifts and a large box pulled by reindeers underneath it.
Materials: Sapling x1, Plank x1225, Rope x1225
Effect: Click "hold a feast" in the Building Menu and every child in town will gain Delicacy x10, Chocolate x5, Cocoa x5 as well as some reindeers running over the town. (It’s important to note that this has a cooldown time of 5 years, and the button turns gray during its cooldown).

As for the animation of the reindeers pulling the sled: Reindeers will hover over the town during the feast, running around and around. This animation lasts a month in the game. How festive! 🦌

[h3]2. Snowman[/h3]


Appearance: A cute snowman, 1x1 (squares) in size, slightly shorter than a citizen. ⛄
Materials: Water x1, Timber x2
Effect: The minimum health of citizens in a 10-meters radius around its scope will be increased by 5%. The effect can be overlapped with that of a Clinic or Hospital and Bathhouse. It can also be placed on the road.

[h3]3. Small Christmas Tree[/h3]


Appearance: A small version of the largest Christmas Tree with presents and lights hanging from it, 1x1 (squares) in size, and it has to be planted in the wild.
Materials: Sapling x1, Rope x2 (Decorative Construction).
This decorative construction will stay in game even after the Christmas Event has ended!

[h3]4. Wild Christmas Trees[/h3] (automatically spawns on the map) will be added.

[h3]5. House Upgrades - Christmas Tree 🎄[/h3]
Materials Needed: Sapling x1, Rope x50
The same effect as Luxurious Furniture, it increases the happiness for the citizens living in that particular house.

[h3]6. Decoration on Houses added during Christmas[/h3]

[h3]7. Background Music[/h3] during winter becomes more Christmassy 🎄

[h3]8. Christmas Hat added in Tailor Shop[/h3] (rebuilding needed, and the appearance of citizens would change after wearing it). 🎅

We’re excited for the future development of Settlement Survival! Your support is crucial in making all this happen. If you want to talk with us or ask questions about the game, we're active in the Steam forums and in our Discord.

We look forward to your feedback on our roadmap. There will be more news about the update soon. We hope you enjoy our Christmas festivities!
