Dev Diary: Valentines Event

The upcoming Valentine 2019 Event: New specialists, new buildings, new buffs and more

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/003...ine_banner.png

Dear Settlers,

Love is in the air - can you feel it!? Valentine's Day has always been a time to share your affection for those you hold most dear: family, friends and even total strangers if you have an abundance to go around. For this year, we'd like to celebrate this event by encouraging you to play together with your friends in jolly cooperation; those that do can expect to reap many bonus rewards! But even if you're the more lone-wolf kind of player, we've still got some love-themed content for you to eat your heart out.

*Important Update 13/02: We are aware of a latency issue with the current Valentine’s Event game version and are working hard to troubleshoot it. At this moment we cannot tell when the event will be started but wanted to share the event info with you anyway so you can prepare.

FLOWER FARMS

Flower Farm: Costs 50 Stone and 100 Hardwood Planks
Production: Each Flower Farm produces event resources (Flowers) over time - starts with 100 Flowers, and takes 20 minutes to perform a full production cycle.
Limit: 3 per player

You can build them on your island: not only do they provide Flowers, but they also help set that romantic mood!

The Flower Farms can only be refilled with "Flower Refills". If you're wondering how you can get those precious refillers, you should play any co-op and multiplayer adventures; basically, any that are designed with more than one player in mind. You can find the complete list in the in-game Event window.

There's another thing that can happen to your Flower Farms: they can deplete if you let them run out! If that is the case, you can purchase Fertilizer from the in-game merchant to revive them. It costs 75 Flowers and it revives the depleted Flower Farm with 10 Flowers. This might look like a bad deal at first, but you will be able to use refillers and buffs again on a restored Flower Farm, leading to more Flowers!

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/003...st%20chain.png

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/003...cter_flora.png

You'll need to start with building your Flower Farms to grow her signature roses, forming them into buffing bouquets and applying them to your friend's population buildings.

Later into the quest chain, you'll start exploring a new type of buff which requires certain conditions to be met in order to trigger powerful effects!

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/003...adventures.png

With this event being themed around helping out your fellow Settlers Online players, it's the perfect time to join together and tackle the various cooperative adventures we have in the game. Doing so will earn you Flower Refills, which are a great way to sustain your Flower Farms and collect those beautiful red roses to spend in the shop!

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/003..._and_items.png

This event has a new type of buff: Conditional Buffs. These are activated by first fulfilling certain conditions, and stay in effect so long as the conditions remain met, only stopping when you fail to maintain the condition. First, though, let's take a look at the main buff that you'll need to use in order to achieve these special objectives:

Name: Flower Bouquet
Effect: Activates heartily buff effect
Target: Population building
Duration: 3 hours (22 hours on friend/guild members)
Price: 3 Flowers

Flower Bouquets can be made in your Provision House and Rarity Provision House by using Flowers. On their own, they provide a pretty love-filled buff effect on population buildings, but don't let that fool you into thinking they're just shiny fluff! If you have a certain amount of these buffs running concurrently on your home-island, you'll gain access to powerful zone-wide effects:

Name: Heart Lockets
Effect: +200% population growth
Targets: Mayor's House, Village School, University
Condition: Five (5) active Flower Bouquet buffs

Name: Family Day
Effect: +200% recruitment speed
Targets: Barracks, Elite Barracks
Condition: Ten (10) active Flower Bouquet buffs

Valentine Cards are another precursor buff that can be used to create lucrative effects:

Name: Buddy's Valentine Card Box
Effect: Rewards one of the Valentine Cards randomly
Production Time: 36 hours (Provision House), 6 hours (Rarity Provision House)
Cost: 4,400 Hardwood Planks, 780 Simple Paper, 660 Nibs

Upon making Buddy's Valentine Card Box, you'll be rewarded with one of 9 Valentine Cards, picked at random:

Name: Valentine Card
Effect: +300% Flower Farm production
Target: Flower Farms
Duration: 1 hour (3 hours on friend/guild members)

At face value, these appear as short but powerful buffs to your Flower Farm production, but something special happens when all three of your Flower Farms are buffed at the same time:

Name: Valentine
Effect: +100% to resource and refill rewards
Targets: Completed Co-op & Multiplayer adventures
Condition: Three (3) active Valentine Card buffs

As long as this conditional buff is active, the owner (and any friends that join them) will be able to take advantage of increased loot from their cooperative adventures, including Flower Refills! So be sure to spread the love, and the reap even more rewards while you tackle some group-content!

This isn't the last method of activating the new conditional buff effects: you can also do it with the new Love Garden building, but more on that below on the next page!

The Love Garden

The Love Garden is public building with a very similar function to the Christmas Market we released in last year's Xmas Event. It can buff population buildings in an area around it with a default buff effect but when enough are affected by this, it can trigger various conditional buffs:

<table style="border: 1px dashed black; margin: 0px; padding: 6px; background-color: rgb(235, 222, 193); width:900px"><tbody><tr ><th >Buff name</th><th >Description</th><th >Cost</th><th >Cooldown</th><th >Icon</th></tr><tr ><td style="background-color: white;">Love Garden Buff</td><td style="background-color: white;">Effect: Applies default buff effect, used to trigger conditions

Targets: Population Building
Duration: 12 hours</td><td style="background-color: white;" colspan="1">500 Water

500 Bread</td><td style="background-color: white;" colspan="1">21h</td><td style="background-color: white;">N/A</td></tr></tbody></table>

The first conditional buff triggers once you've buffed at least fifteen (15) population buildings concurrently:

<table style="border: 1px dashed black; margin: 0px; padding: 6px; background-color: rgb(235, 222, 193); width:900px"><tbody><tr ><th >Buff name</th><th >Description</th><th >Condition</th><th >Cooldown</th><th >Icon</th></tr><tr ><td style="background-color: white;">Heart Lockets Level 1</td><td style="background-color: white;">Effect: +200% population growth

Targets: Mayor's House, Villiage School, University
</td><td style="background-color: white;" colspan="1">15 Love Garden Buffs Active</td><td style="background-color: white;" colspan="1">N/A</td><td style="background-color: white;">N/A</td></tr></tbody></table>

Upon first building the Love Garden, you might notice a quest which asks you to buff twenty (20) population buildings, and wait one hour! After one hour has passed with the condition met, you'll obtain a random Love Garden quest. These quests can ask you to do various things: complete a certain type of adventure, find a deposit, go on a treasure search etc, and you will be rewarded with a relevant buff. Once you've completed a quest, you won't receive it again until you've gone through the entire pool, so you'll avoid getting the same quest back-to-back. And once another hour has gone past after completion, so long as the conditions are still met, you'll receive another quest!

Note that if you demolish the Love Garden during one of these quests, you'll be able to complete it, but won't be offered another quest until it's placed again.

There's one final conditional buff to unlock for those who are dedicated, unlocked when you've buffed at least twenty-five (25) population buildings concurrently:

<table style="border: 1px dashed black; margin: 0px; padding: 6px; background-color: rgb(235, 222, 193); width:900px"><tbody><tr ><th >Buff name</th><th >Description</th><th >Condition</th><th >Cooldown</th><th >Icon</th></tr><tr ><td style="background-color: white;">Heart Lockets Level 2</td><td style="background-color: white;">Effect: +300% Population growth

Targets: Mayor's House, Villiage School, University
</td><td style="background-color: white;" colspan="1">25 Love Garden Buffs Active</td><td style="background-color: white;" colspan="1">N/A</td><td style="background-color: white;">N/A</td></tr></tbody></table>

For more information on the reach of the area buff from the Love Garden, please check out these screenshots showing where the exact grid of each population building needs to be within the area of effect to be eligible for the buff.

Name: The Love Garden (Limit: 2)
Type: Building 2x2 (Not giftable, but tradable)
Description: A public building starting buffs, which are used as conditions to trigger zone effects and additional content.
Price: 1,990 Flowers

Observatory

The Observatory allows a player to greatly speed up the travel time for Generals going to and from adventures. It can produce three different types of Star Chart buffs to accomplish this:

<table style="border: 1px dashed black; margin: 0px; padding: 6px; background-color: rgb(235, 222, 193); width:900px"><tbody><tr ><th >Buff name</th><th >Description</th><th >Cost</th><th >Cooldown</th><th >Icon</th></tr><tr ><td style="background-color: white;">Rough Star Chart</td><td style="background-color: white;">Zone Effect: Reduces General travel time by 25%

Target: Home and Adventure Islands
Duration: 2 hours</td><td style="background-color: white;" colspan="1">820 Simple Paper

20 Map Fragments</td><td style="background-color: white;" colspan="1">47h</td><td style="background-color: white;">
https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/003...chart_icon.png</td></tr><tr ><td style="background-color: white;">Normal Star Chart</td><td style="background-color: white;">Zone Effect: Reduces General travel time by 50%

Target: Home and Adventure Islands
Duration: 2 hours
</td><td style="background-color: white;" colspan="1">750 Intermediate Paper

30 Map Fragments</td><td style="background-color: white;" colspan="1">47h</td><td style="background-color: white;">
https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/003...chart_icon.png</td></tr></td></tr><tr ><td style="background-color: white;">Detailed Star Chart</td><td style="background-color: white;">Zone Effect: Reduces General travel time by 75%

Target: Home and Adventure Islands
Duration: 2 hours</td><td style="background-color: white;" colspan="1">810 Advanced Paper

40 Map Fragments</td><td style="background-color: white;" colspan="1">47h</td><td style="background-color: white;">
https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/003...chart_icon.png</td></tr></td></tr></tbody></table>

The buff works for adventures started while the buff is active. Once Activated the buff will remain on the adventure even if the initial buff on your home zone is not active anymore. Propagated buffs are active on adventures as long as the adventure is running. Travel time for generals is impacted by the buff running on the same zone the general is travelling to. Buffs that are propagated to the adventure also impact other participants, reducing the travel time of their generals to adventures as well. However, the buff on the home zone only impacts the owner of the zone, reducing the travel time of their generals back from adventures. Do note that Star Charts are exclusive to one another, and cannot be combined for a greater effect.

This makes the Observatory a perfect building for those who love to do adventures as their main activity, and even more so if it involves doing cooperative adventures with their friends; especially during this event!

In combination with the "Navigation Crash Course" skill the travel time reduction is applied to the travel time value already reduced by the "Navigation Crash Course" skill. The final value is rounded mathematically.

Example:

Default Travel Time * Navigation Crash Course * Star Chart.

900 seconds * 55% * 25% = 158 (157,5) seconds

Name: Observatory (Limit: 1)
Type: Building 3x3 (Not giftable, not tradable)
Description: An intelligence building which can craft star charts
Price: 2,990 Flowers

<table style="border: 1px dashed black; margin: 0px; padding: 6px; background-color: rgb(235, 222, 193); width:900px"><tbody><tr ><th >Buff name</th><th >Description</th><th >Cost</th><th >Cooldown</th><th >Icon</th></tr><tr ><td style="background-color: white;">Weather: Hard Frost</td><td style="background-color: white;">Zone Effect: When weighty defenders throw a punch in such frost, every surrounding unit will be swiped of their feet.

The buff works for adventures started while the buff is active. Once activated the buff will remain on the adventure even if the initial buff on your home zone is not active anymore. Propagated buffs are active on adventures as long as the adventure is running. Buff propagated to the adventure also impact other participants, changing combat values of their units.

Since these buffs affect not only you but all enemy units as well, the Weather Station really allows you to shake up the meta strategies when it comes to dealing with adventures. You might choose to build your unit composition around one of the buffs and its bonuses, on an adventure where the specific enemy units would not gain as much of an advantage. When combined with the Observatory and Scouting Post, you can now test out new and interesting compositions and tactics while being even more effective at tackling even the hardest of challenges!

The Valentine Achievements promote sharing the love with your fellow Settlers, friends, guild members and receiving some love in return! You can unlock them during this event only.
Various buffs are rewarded for successfully completing achievements; with more powerful buffs being awarded the higher the achievement's difficulty.


The Achievements deal with many aspects of the event:

• Having friends buff your buildings
• Completing co-op adventures with friends
• Receiving one of every Valentine card (9 total)
• Maybe even being a bit selfish!?

EVENT RESOURCE CONVERSION

As usual, all event-related resources will be converted into gold coins.
We will also convert Valentine cards and Valentine Card Boxes into Employee of the month Badges.
No event resources are supposed to remain in the game.

A script will run during a future game update downtime to replace all event resources (especially Flowers) with gold coins.
The conversion applies to all items of that type, such as

• items in your warehouses and in your Star Menu
• items that remain in Flower Farms
• items included in public trades and friend trades
• items attached to in-game mails like loot from adventures or explorer searches

Conversion rates: The final amount will be rounded up.
1 Flower = 1 gold coins
1 Fertilizer = 75 gold coins

There is no action needed from your side, you will receive an in-game message with the corresponding amount of gold coins.

Dear settlers,

We want to clarify the description of the Valentine buff because it was a bit misleading:

• While every player can get a bonus to the loot of a coop/multiplayer adventure, everyone has to have the buff active on their own island to benefit from it. It is not working for everyone in the adventure just because the owner has it active on his island.

Happy Settling,
BB_Sious

Dear settlers,

We want to clarify how Flower Farms will behave once we enter the Removal/Deactivation phases:

• Flower Farms will still be able to produce Flowers during the Removal Phase.
• Flower Farms will be deleted at the time of the Deactivation Phase.

Happy Settling,
BB_Sious

Dear settlers,

We will be extending the Removal Phase of the Valentine Event to the following time:

• Monday, 11th of March at 10:00 CET
• At this time, the Removal Phase will end and the Deactivation will begin, thus fully ending the Valentine Event.

We'd also like to clarify that the specialists sent out in today's gift package will not count towards your shop limits; you can still purchase them if you're yet to do so.

Happy Settling,
BB_Sious

Dear settlers,


We'd like to clarify something about the buildings post-event and event currency conversion:

• Both the Observatory and Weather Station will be made available in the Shop for Gems in a future update.
• The event currency conversion will take place in an upcoming maintenance.

Happy Settling,
BB_Sious
