Establish and expand your own settlements, liberate the land and assist its villagers, and recruit others to your cause while learning more about a life you had to leave behind. Command your forces, prove your valor through combat, and cement yourself as the hero of your people.
With our next big update on the horizon, many of you have been helping us on the preview branch to find bugs and other key issues which help us immensely with getting things up to speed. Today, we wanted to share with you another largely requested feature of the update: Roads and Decorations.

With this new change, you’ll be able to build roads within your settlement. These roads will increase movement speed as well as reduce stamina usage when using them. Villagers will prefer these when moving between locations.

Roads can be built off of the main road and easily connected via snapping points.

With the new Craftsman’s Nook, you can now make decorative items that are placeable around your settlement.

Chairs can be placed and the interaction direction shows which way they will be facing.

And of course, plenty of new decorations to add some flare and unique aspects to your village including barrels, baskets, shrines stones, and more. We plan to have a lot more decorative options as development continues but we hope you’ll have a lot of fun adding this flavor to your settlement.

We have a lot coming in our next big update for Bellwright. This is just one system of many that we’ll be adding along with bugfixes and other improvements. We promise it will be worth the wait!
Until next time,
