Hello, adventurers! 🌍✨

Today, we’re giving you a sneak peek at one of the biggest changes coming to Skybound Isles: the Resource-Based Expansion System! This reworked system changes how you expand your islands, making resource management a key part of your journey. Let’s dive in!

What is Resource-Based Expansion?

In the past, island expansion relied on Research Points, but now, your resources will determine how you grow and develop! This means every decision you make—whether it's gathering, crafting, or building—will directly impact your ability to expand and thrive.

Sneak Peek: How It Works 🔍

✔️ Resources Matter 🏗️ – Instead of spending abstract points, you’ll now use actual resources like wood, stone, or special materials to unlock new areas.

✔️ Strategic Growth 🌱 – Different islands may require different resources to expand, making planning and trading more important than ever.

✔️ More Immersive Gameplay ⚙️ – This system ties directly into the Building System, giving you more control over how your islands evolve.

What’s Next for Resource-Based Expansion?

We’re just getting started! Future updates will bring: 

 🔹 New Resource Types – More materials to collect and use in expansion. 

 🔹 Upgradable Structures – Unlock better tools and buildings as you expand. 

 🔹 Dynamic Resource Management – Make choices on what to gather and where to invest.
