First insights: Stacking feature

A Sneak Peek is supposed to provide you with a brief first impression about one of upcoming game versions/features.
Please keep in mind that it may not reflect the final version of the content, but the test version status.
Once the game version is finalized, a corresponding Dev Diary will be published.

Dear Settlers,

Dedicated island mayors and economists have been requesting this feature for a long time.
The Star Menu will be cleaned up and you can test the new stacking feature soon.
Which item types will be stacked and which won't?
  • Resources
  • Buffs (except building licenses/premium days)
  • Buildings
  • No Adventures
  • No Specialists



FAQ
  • Will all buffs, resources and buildings be stackable?
    Most of them. Special buffs like building licenses and premium days are excluded as they already have a specific value set.
  • What about adventures and specialists?
    It was planned to stack these as well, but it turns out stacking adventures and specialists is a very complex and time consuming task. Because of that and in order to benefit from this comfort feature, the current state of the stacking feature will be deployed without stackable adventures and specialists.
  • Is it still possible to only sell/use one item?
    When you use a stack of resources, you have an option to tell the game how many items of the stack you want to use
    (e.g. deposit refillers, applying resources to Mayor's House).
  • What happens if you receive another stack of a certain item?
    All additional items will be added to an existing stack.
    If there is none, a new stack for is created in your star menu.



The development of this feature is still in progress. You're invited to test the feature and provide your feedback,
so the dev team can continue improving it. Keep an eye on the Test Server news for more information!
