Dear Settlers,

BB_Alex (Game Design Team) provides the next Dev Blog: As announced a few weeks back, it explains the Treasure Searches during events in more detail.

It also explains why sometimes, even though an event is active and Explorers return in time, no event resources are returned.

Hi all,

We will restart all GWs shortly to remove an issue that locked many zones recently. After the restart the issue the already locked zones should be unlocked.

Dear Settlers,

Woodcutters are asleep all throughout the island, Recycling Manufactories are working overtime and your settlers are spending the day outside planting trees.

Take the time to enjoy nature on this wonderful spring day!

Happy Recycling!
