Dear settlers,

Please be aware of the following change in regard to the "Collect all" quest:

• The "Collect All" (home island) quest will now grant 4x Crystal Shards.

Happy Settling,

Dear Settlers,

Since we have received numerous inquiries about the changes brought to the Epic Farmyard, we'd like to clarify these changes here:

• All production chains now start on level 1 for players who did not own the Epic Farmyard before.
• The production chain level of the Epic Well, Silo, Mill, Bakery, Brewery and Stables on existing Epic Farmyards will automatically upgrade by one level (0>1, 1>2,...,5>6).
• The 6th production chain level can be gained through obtaining the corresponding blueprint by playing the "Evil Queen" campaign unless the automatic upgrade already brought it to level 6.

Happy settling,
BB_Sious
