Grinding Gear Games is set to launch the new challenge league, Settlers of Kalguur, on July 26th, featuring a deep dive into league mechanics, crafting systems, trade market, balance improvements, and endgame changes.

You can upgrade the Tavern to improve recruiters' prospects and find important NPCs, upgrade the Mining Station to increase miner efficiency, and set up a smelter to turn ore into valuable bars. The game also allows you to establish shipping routes, where each port will offer specific rewards based on the resources you send, but be cautious of the increasing risk as you send more resources.

Faustus can be invited to the player's hideout for easy access to these services as the town grows. The expansion also introduces Settlers of Kalguur, featuring three endgame bosses that can impact players' operations and offer the opportunity to obtain new Unique Items.
