Rise of the Settlement – Dev Diary Community Update #3

[p]A new chapter begins for your settlement — one of opportunity, challenges, and choice.[/p][p]With this update, we're introducing the Quest System, allowing your community to take on meaningful tasks in exchange for growth, bonuses, and unique rewards. Whether you're gathering food, preparing for winter, or embarking on expeditions, quests will give purpose to your people’s actions — and yours.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Quests and Missions concept is implemented and ready to be used — and extended further with new quests, expanded missions, and awesome additions like story-driven arcs, rare rewards, and dynamic world events.[/p][h2]
✅ Production Quests[/h2][p]
Support your settlement's economy by fulfilling requests like gathering wood, harvesting crops, or crafting basic goods.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]✅ Expedition Quests[/h2][p]
Assign villagers to risky ventures like searching for seeds, exploring the unknown, or trading with distant groups. Success is never guaranteed — but the rewards can be game-changing.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]✅ Feast Quests[/h2][p]
Celebrate the abundance of food by hosting a feast. If word spreads, new villagers may be drawn to your growing community.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]✅ Quest Slots System[/h2][p][/p][p]You can have up to 6 quests active at the same time, managed through quest slots. Slots unlock progressively through the technology tree, letting you build a rhythm of multiple ongoing tasks and long-term strategies.[/p][p][/p][h2]✅ Seasonal Rotation & Progression[/h2][p][/p][p]Quests evolve with the seasons and your technological progress — making each campaign feel alive and responsive.
You’ll encounter:[/p]

• [p]Monthly Quests that refresh every in-game month[/p]
• [p]Seasonal Quests tied to the current season (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter)[/p]
• [p]Themed Quests that appear only in specific months or specific seasons — each with its own unique flavor and rewards[/p]

[p]This system ensures that the challenges your settlement faces shift over time, encouraging you to adapt, plan ahead, and make the most of every opportunity.[/p][p]We’ve just begun — but there’s already plenty to do:[/p]

• [p]21 Production Quests — covering everything from basic gathering to more specialized resource tasks[/p]
• [p]4 Feast Quests — where you trade food for the chance to grow your population[/p]
• [p]1 Expedition Quest — send villagers out to search for rare seeds and grains[/p]

[p]This is just the start. More quests, more types, and deeper questlines are already in development![/p][p][/p][h2]🧭 Choices Matter[/h2][p]Many quests offer options — choose which resource to pursue, which people to send, and when to act. Every decision shapes the outcome, and some quests may fail or be delayed if your village isn't ready.[/p][p][/p][h2]🔍 How to Access Quests?[/h2][p]Quests are found in the Quests Panel, which unlocks early in your gameplay. As new buildings and techs are discovered, more quests will become available.

🎁 This is just the beginning! We’re building a living quest system that will grow with future updates, introducing storylines, faction interaction, and larger expedition arcs.[/p][p]Stay tuned — and may your choices bring fortune to your people.
