Hey settlers👋,
Here's a new update with a few changes! Stairs are now automatically updated to stone when connected to a stone road. Animals have a home concept and will clean their homes. Fruit trees, cacti and palms can be fertilized. Many bugs have been fixed, such as the correct setting of barn capacity after reloading.
Thank you for your feedback and support, tell us what you think by writing a review! ❤️ 🦊

Hey settlers👋,
Today we surprise you with a big update, on the one hand with a new animal and new maps, on the other hand with a ton of changes regarding balancing and quality of life. Here we go 🔥:

🐟Pike:
Finally, the trout has a natural enemy that keeps the population under control. The pike hunts smaller fish and can be fished just like the trout.



🏔️New Mountain Map:
A new mountain map is now available. On it you will find additional iron ore but also an extremely cold climate!



🌳New Moderate Map:
A new fertile map with interesting cliff formations. Perfect for agriculture to support even larger cities with food



🏜️New Desert Map:
A new desert map with additional copper but extremely hot climate!



Thanks to your feedback, we've also made a lot of balancing and quality of life changes. You can find the detailed patch notes below. 👇
