[h2]Hey, Settlers![/h2]

…or should I say: hello, world! 🤖

Programmer’s Sale is live and Havendock is part of it! It’s a delightful event organized to commemorate Ada Lovelace - a brilliant English mathematician from the 19th century and the pioneer of programming! She wrote what is considered to be the first computer program in history - an algorithm designed to be carried out by a machine 💽

To celebrate the life and achievements of Ada Lovelace and feel like a true digital genius yourself, check out the games present at this event! They’re not only fun to play, but also will help you discover and polish your tech talents!

Havendock will definitely make you feel like a real engineer 👷 You can design and construct intricate automation belts - optimize water production with pipes, make farming more efficient with Polly the parrot’s help, transport goods between islands thanks to adorable kewi birds, and more!

Here’s to all the bright brains out there 🧠

[h2]Hey, Settlers![/h2]

The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner - it’s this Friday, on September 29th! To celebrate together we want to invite you to Havendock’s Moon Island, which just appeared on the main branch!


[h3]Let’s get ready to party - here’s what’s new:[/h3]

🔨 Two brand new recipes - craft lanterns in refineries and prepare mooncakes in cookhouses

🏮 Special questline - release lanterns to unlock rewards from the Moon Bunny

🥮 Moon Forge - every 10 mooncakes give you enchanted equipment

🌜 New powerful trait - Moonglow, which makes your settlers’ lives much easier as you level it up

👯 Very magical Moon Bunny costume with special perks for the lucky settler wearing it

🔥 Cozy Moon Pit where you can craft mooncake earrings or just warm up while you watch the night sky

🕺 Fancy feast for your settlers - no one should celebrate alone!

🐇 Bunny settler who comes with great benefits for your whole settlement

Just getting warm by the Moonpit 🤗 ...Wait, who's that back there?

They don't know I had to pay 20 Moon Dust for another party 😩

Mission to blend in failed successfully

Wait, I didn't know that bunnies can live underwater 🤨

Get cozy and enjoy the festival 🧡
