Hello, just fixing some issues with the new clownfish research and also received a report of a loading issue today, so am pushing out a hotfix to address this. Sorry for any inconvenience caused!

-YYZ

v0.74.1 is released~

Fixes:
Fix mini drill giving infinite resources
Fix iron ore patch giving infinite resources
Fix clownfish showing seagull description and audio

Experimental branch:
You can now add kewi traits through kewi list panel

To improve convenience of adding kewi traits, you can now add them by the characters panel in the kewi tab. This way, you don't have to find or click on them individually which can be difficult when you have many of them moving at high speeds!



I am still working on final improvements and changes to the kewi traits and the Kewi Traits update is scheduled to land on the main branch approximately next Friday!

[h2]Hey, Settlers![/h2]

I’m actively working on updates for Havendock. My focus now is on steering the game toward version 1.0. I'd like to present a roadmap with the key updates leading up to its release.



Even after 1.0, I plan to add more content to the game. There’s plenty to look forward to!

The first update, Clownfish, Spycam, is already in the game. It includes Clownfish Breeding (with different rarities), an Underwater Expansion, and new research (Spycam and Great Barrier Reef).

[h2]Here’s what’s coming next:[/h2]

[h3]Content Update #2 – Oysters & Seafood Platter[/h3]
Oysters will spawn underwater and you can harvest them to cook a new premium dish. It can be used to upgrade Kewi Birds later! (Available in experimental, coming to main branch soon.)



[h3]Content Update #3 (February) – Kewi Traits[/h3]
To prepare for new islands that will increase reliance on inter-island transport, I’m introducing Kewi Traits. These will give your loyal Kewi birds specialized abilities, making them more essential for your growing settlement.



[h3]Content Update #4 (March) – New Buildings
[/h3]Several buildings are getting new upgrade tiers! These upgrades will eventually require materials from Astro Island and let you create a base that’s stronger (and maybe a little overpowered) than ever before.



I am also working on a potential Housing Revamp that removes Sleeping Rocks.

[h3]Content Update #5 (April) – Astronomy Island
[/h3]Unlock the next level of automation with drones, available on Astronomy Island. It’s time to push your settlement to new heights!



Thank you so much for your support, patience, and encouragement. It’s your passion for Havendock that keeps me going. As always, feel free to share your feedback or ideas. I love hearing from you.

Stay tuned!
