Hey Merchants!
Patch 1.4.0 introduces an important late-game feature: mansion building. We've added it so that you can have more freedom in planning your own habitat and make a part of the world truly your own :)
How it works
- You can find and purchase mansion isle on the map (only in newly-generated games, sorry!)
- Mansion building consists of multiple layers. Start with mansion walls / structure, then add details to it gradually. There are exactly 200 different blocks to choose from.
- You can expand your mansion island territory for gold
- You can store your goods at the mansion. Caravans can unload their goods at the mansion, but they can not take it. This is intended to be used as a final destination for resources used in mansion building.
If you need some guidance how to build it, check out this video:

There is not a lot of text here, but this addition took us a month of hard work. Hopefully this will enable you to get as creative as you want to. If you manage to build something cool - feel free to share it in screenshots or in our discord channel :)
Some other important changes:
Reduced the neck size of me and Helen in early access intro message
Build interaction icon added for lighthouse / buildings / mansion
Scyte icons on map view won't have empty frames anymore
We're going to take a 2-week break. We could not add your feedback from the last patch, but expect a small patch (regarding it) in January and then a full release somewhere in March. More in another video:

Happy holidays and we hope you enjoy the game!
