OK, 2 things.........
<1>I have no idea what the Harbor does. Is it it linking us to Settlers Alliance somehow? Is it linking us to another Island somewhere? Is it just for looks and we gotta pay 10 coins to send 10 settlers into oblivian?
<2> Looking at the picture in Dev Diary regarding placement, apparently if there's a general in the default landing spot at the landward end of the dock, it cannot be placed. I haven't moved the general yet because I don't know what the harbor thing does to start with.
A few minutes later.... yep..... moved the general and now it's built. Oh, ok, so I'm engaged in human trafficking now in order to get emmigration offers, whatever those do. Pretty exciting stuff......
since you launched harbour event - my explorers are repeatedly returning. 1st it was the 7, now its all of em. i cannot resend them.. Worse, many were on artifact search - and i got 3 emails for 7 or 8 coming home - so all that loot is gone. i have 3 times logged out.. fully logged out -- in fact asked friends not to visit my isle also -- and logged out for 30 min one time. all that does is increase the # of glitching explorers - since i had them slated to all come home in the morning.. so now pretty much ALL my explorers are repeatedly returning every minute or so (plus those geos wont stay sent either). i have not bothered to even resend them .. but they still repeat.. and it freezes the island every time too... please fix or cancel the event.
also i cannot find any explanation as to why i am turning settlers in to immigration offers??
I'm having the same issue as Ciara - explorers do not function.
So I have this harbor and I've figured out where to place it but it will not place. I've moved/removed everything around where it should go and it still will not place. The only thing I can think is that I have a fish deposit there that contains 54,000+ fish in it. Could that be preventing it from being placed?
The generals have to be move, and then you lose 2 landing spots. exps returned with nothing also, sent them of again to the ether. One built the harbor produces speedy offers. No idea where they are. No connection that I see on removal of rocks.
Where do you place the harbor?
Explorers are not bringing anything back, they show they came back, I got the notice, but no reward mail. Sent the explorers out and now they keep coming back every 30 seconds or so and they show they have not been sent.
I'm seeing it for some of my explorers - looks like it might be length dependent for treasure searches. I tried the short search and they seem to have gone off to search for items...
short search doesnt work for me. i've even tried a brand new browser - ruling out cache history etc.
sent geos (stones)

Why introduce a mini-event with such a blatant problem?
welll great - ticket is useless.. i just got a 'closed cause its a known issue' response.
ya know BB you have a TESTING SERVER... USE IT ...geeeeeez
OK aside from the issues - what do you do once the harbour is placed and it starts producing speedy emigration officers ? I've produced at least 10 - now what happens?
excellent question.. i cant find anything in star... so .. wheres the stuff we made?
How long's the quest chain? Should I just wait untiltomorrow... oh wait, never start an event on a Thursday because the hotfix won't take place untilTuesday?
Alternative question and maybe no fix is needed, just time: does the glitching go away when the explorers have returned for real?
OK where are the settlers going.. i heard rumours that we are migrating them to the new game... the one thats pc only?? and standalone.. with no guilds?
to quote the news page
"Dear Adventurers,
We are bringing a new building into the game: The Harbour! You can use it to help some of your Settlers to emigrate to Tavos, an archipelago and home of the new "The Settlers"."
Will Settlers Alliance software be available for Mac users? EDIT: found the answer - no.
Can you share any details about system requirements?
While we cannot share any specific details about the system requirements at this point, we recommend using Windows 10 with the latest updates installed. The game is not compatible with MacOS or Linux systems.

1- Explorers are glitched since harbor event started. Constant false notifications of returning , with no mail.
2- Guild market changed 13 days early and locked the building so we cannot purchase it.
3- Some people cannot place their harbor building even though they have nothing on land or shore near the spot.
I never placed the harbor because people were saying don't do it, but I guess that doesn't matter because my explorers are bugged anyway, so I figured I may as well go ahead. That sure was a quick quest chain.
I thought this sounded like an interesting idea at first, but not at these production speeds. I'm almost always at max population and moved my population producing buildings out of the way because those exclamation marks were annoying me. 18k excess settlers will take 5 months. 120 coins a day. I guess that's... something. I'll have max population in a couple weeks, though.
I've got the explorer glitch too. Sent out 3 times, all came back within minutes with nothing. Also cannot purchase the watermill in the Guild Market.
This is an epic fail. The most common issue is explorers go out, come back in 3 minutes, go out, rinse and repeat. Luckily, mine generally stay exploring after 1 cycle. My problem is I bought the adventure, but it doesn't show up. Support had me verify my browser, Flash, and OS was up-to-date, and then flush browser, Flash, and DNS. It is so helpful for a programming issue.
One thing I want to know, we have a whole load more explodable rocks and mountains, do we get more demolition guys to explode them? 'cos you couldn't buy enough demo experts to do all the mountains we originally could explode, already. even if you're prepared to spend the gems.
gonna need more of those and shotfirers and they also need some at least to be available by play/coin not by gems
:mad:The game is unplayable with explorers laughing at me at every 30 seconds.
And I was offline more then 10 hours, all explorers were back home with loot on mail, my mistake was to send them again on artifact and adv search... now they are bouncing again. :mad:
I'll check in a few hours, but most probably I'll start playing in 10d10h.
thank you for the break, BB. (sarcasm)
Another Eopic Fail STOP bringing in stuff without testing. Monkeys could do Better Kill this Non event its destroying the game. Not that anyone in BB will listen to Players After all what do Players KnowQuote:

somehow selling my settlers for money whats that called? i don't like the harbor just a bad idea
depends on what they do with em once they buy em. you could be a slaver, human smuggler, pimp, organ smuggler... the list goes on...Quote:

Same issue on the explorers looping constantly. Really annoying. No PFB active either. Please fix this recurring issue.
I've been turning excess brew into coins for 5 1/2 years, so don't need any more coins at this point. The idea of turning settlers into coins just seems to me to be kind of creepy. The explorer glitch is terrible, see you all in 10 days. The new game is PC only - another one. It seems that BB doesn't care about their MAC users. The harbor is another lovely to look at but useless building - at least it's on the water and doesn't take up a building spot. Appreciate being able to blow up more mountains, the only thing worth spending gems on, but why can't we buy enough to finish the job?
Now if the new harbor was a place where the general's garrisons could land, we could re-assign troops and send them on the adventure, now that would be something truly wonderful.
So this is one of those "Let's pretend it didn't happen" things like their first attempt at the Black Knight Event, huh. The harbor looks nice though. Hopefully they'll add some additional utility to it like they did for the Soccer Training Ground.
