Greetings, Viceroys!
Against the Storm’s new Logistics and Balance Update is set to be released tomorrow - September 28 - between 1:00 pm UTC and 4:00 pm UTC.
Aside from numerous balance changes related to cornerstones, recipe distribution, and Citadel Upgrades costs, the update will introduce significant changes to the recently added Hauler profession.
Here’s a short excerpt from tomorrow’s update notes:
- ⚡ Haulers are now assigned to Warehouses instead of Hauling Stations.
- The Main Warehouse has 3 workplaces for haulers, and the Small Warehouse has 2.
- Haulers work the same way as they did before - they transport production yields and ingredients between buildings.
- Both small and big Hauler Stations have been removed from the game. They will no longer be offered as blueprints or appear in glades.
- Haulers are now unlocked via the upgrade tree in the Smoldering City. They are divided into two separate unlocks - for the Main Warehouse and for Small Warehouses.
- Both unlocks are new and can be found in the First Dawn Company branch of the upgrade tree.
We’re also adding new perks that can increase Haulers' efficiency or add automated Hauling Carts to Warehouses.

On top of that, you can expect multiple UX improvements and bug fixes.
As always, we remind you to finish your current settlements before the update goes live. For more information, please check the section below.
May the storm be gentle on you,

How to prepare
We release new content Updates every two weeks on Thursdays around 1 pm – 4 pm UTC. As we make multiple changes to the game’s systems, balance, and content, the game needs to force-finish any settlements that are in progress when you download the update. This aims to prevent various game-breaking bugs that could occur otherwise.
IMPORTANT: If you have a settlement in progress, it will have to be force-finished when you download the Update. You will be reimbursed with Citadel Resources but you will have to start a new settlement. Your meta progress (that is: Experience, Level, completed Deeds, unlocked Upgrades, Citadel Resources, etc.) will remain intact.
In the main menu, under the “Play” button, there’s a countdown to upcoming Updates. Please finish your current settlement before the update day if you don’t want it to be completed automatically.
