[2021] Plans to have multiple species in one settlement?

Original Post — Direct link

This game consists of a world that you can explore and slowly conquer with your settlers that grow more powerful as time goes on, right? You encounter so many things. Bandits, traders, animals, dungeons, ect. Its an amazingly fun game to play around with, but I have my issues with it. Mainly just the one: why am I stuck with just the single species I pick at the start of the game? There are 5 total species planned, each with their own unique properties, why must i be limited to only having the one I pick at the start? Why can't I add new people in from other species, or capture them if they attack me? It's seems unfortunate to me that if I pick humans at the start, I'll go that whole save without ever exploring magic, because humans can't learn it

There are plans to let players have multiple races in one settlement. :)

I still need to fully implement the other race mechanics, but once I've done that I'm going to let players have the ability to utilize them all in one settlement through a couple different methods:

-They ask to join you. This will be rare and likely dependent on your relationship with the race. But if you're on good terms with another race, it will be possible.

-You capture the other race and convince them to join your settlement.

The only reason you can't do this sort of thing yet is because I'm finishing off lots of other cool things. But it's definitely planned! :)

So, the game is in early access, meaning it is unfinished. The other races are unfinished so you can’t play with them yet. Also, what you’re describing is planned. You will be able to capture ancients and all the other races and add them to your settlement if they choose to join you. Having them join you will unlock their tech. I think humans getting some magic is also planned, but I’m less sure about that. The game is in early access so there’s a lot planned, but not everything is implemented.

Humans will have access to magic in the next update through a new tech tree system. :) It's just harder for Humans to unlock it, whereas Ancients have it from the start.
