Our passion for delivering the most immersive city builder and colony sim experience has led us to reshape TFM's core loop - we've reimagined and redesigned the game flow to make it more accessible and familiar for city builder and colony sim game fans while preserving the soul of TFM with its deep personal progression of each unique character.
The Build Panel

We've returned to the drawing board, reimagining TFM while preserving the essence of the game we all know and love. You can now organize your overall strategy better with our new Build Panel. It acts as a tech tree of constructions, presenting a clear roadmap of your available building options and helping you plan your settlement expansion effectively.
Job Selection

We've given you more control over your settlement workflow. You can change your characters' work assignments by selecting them and right-clicking on the constructions. This allows you to adapt to new challenges and maximize the potential of your settlement more dynamically. Tailor your workforce to your strategy and watch your faction flourish!
Path Rewards

Our unique Paths system has also evolved and now serves as an engaging skill line for each character, a tool for exploring a wide variety of possibilities that enriches each character's journey! As characters gain experience and progress, they unlock rewards and uncover exciting opportunities. This enhanced system provides a unique depth to character progression, turning each path into a thrilling personal adventure filled with endless exploration potential.
Objectives and Claims

Introducing expansion mechanics that allow the completion of objectives and claiming of rival factions' main constructions. It's time to plan, strategize, and grow your settlement into a realm! The thrill of conquest doesn't stop here; our upcoming major update promises the introduction of Skirmish maps, so prepare for unparalleled strategic depth and keep a vigilant eye on our roadmap!
Points, Perks, and Stats Revitalized

Dive into a reimagined gameplay experience as we overhaul the Points, Perks, and Stats systems in TFM. Your settlement's points and your characters' primary stats now profoundly impact the odds of obtaining rewards. This change resonates through every layer of gameplay, adding richness to exploration, emphasizing strategic planning, and injecting an exciting dimension to character development and settlement management.
Every point you collect, every perk you obtain, and every stat improvement achieved will be instrumental in deciding your settlement's success. These elements are intricately interwoven, ensuring that character progression and high-level management are as engrossing as they are rewarding.
This revitalization brings a profound coherence between the individual (your characters) and the collective (your settlement), creating a melodic loop of growth and development. Be prepared to strategize, evolve, and enjoy the enhanced gameplay experience that awaits in TFM's new era.
