Valentine Event on Test Server
Dear Settlers,
Today, the Valentine Event has been deployed on the test server. There, you can already take a look at what is new before the event officially starts on February 12. Here are the dates for the event:
Event Start: February 12, 10:00 CET
Start of removal phase: March 01, 22:00 CET
Complete deactivation: March 08, 22:00 CET
With the Valentine Event, we will also implement the following changes:
- Quest "Story Time": Following the feedback, we have reduced the number of Adventure Tales required for this quest in the Aurora Tower. In addition to the 25 Star Shards, only 150 Adventure Tales are now needed instead of 300.
- Stargazing Geologist: Contrary to his description, the deposits found by the geologist were not twice as rich. This has been corrected so that he now finds deposits that are twice as rich.
- Shop Limit: The Witch Coven and the Retirement Village can now each only be purchased once, as originally intended.
- Buff "Sharpened Pickaxes": We have improved the buff, so that buffed buildings now require 67% fewer resources to produce the same output.
Have fun testing!

Migration of Test Server
Dear Settlers,
The first bigger, visible step of the migration is around the corner. Today, we will shut down the external test server until further notice to transfer the test system into our infrastructure.
Afterwards, we will carry out a few internal tests. Therefore, we cannot yet tell you when exactly the test server will be publicly available again. Of course, we will inform you as soon as you can log in again and help us with the testing.
As previously announced, we will only start with the migration of the live servers and game worlds once the external test system is running reliably within our infrastructure. We will provide you with information about specific dates and maintenance windows as soon as they have been determined.
