New Major Update

The team also just released the Over-Haulers Update, a new 1.10 update with fresh content, improvements, and a full overhaul of the hauler system.

The update includes:

3 new World Map Modifiers
A hauler system overhaul
The option to play with 4 species in Training Expeditions
Fishing Hut panel improvements
A depletion progress bar in the resource overlay
UX improvements, bug fixes, and text adjustments

The main focus is the new hauler system, which now gives you more control over how haulers work through the Main Warehouse UI. You can set priorities by building type, decide whether haulers should carry ingredients, products, or both, and make better use of them across your settlement.

The update also adds three new World Map Modifiers: Guild Territory, Sacred Grove, and Ancient Spire. Sacred Grove is especially notable, since it allows settlements to have 4 species, something players have requested for a long time.
