Journey, points and unlocks
The August spotlight describes a Journey system that rewards construction, exploration and tasks with points used for unlocks.
Choose a goal you can explain
Record the unlock you want, its observed prerequisite and why it helps your settlement. Exact point costs are intentionally absent until checked for the relevant build.
Main story and progression
Developer spotlights distinguish story direction from optional progression tasks. A town can pursue its own goals without every action being dictated by the main quest.
Historical changes matter
The September test patch changes tent guidance and point balance. A screenshot of an earlier tree cannot safely become the launch unlock database.
