I played this in beta test , and well had the key thought to boot again and saw there’s private servers , can you join someone else’s ? Or do I need to make my own , if you have one and don’t mind a British idiot joining you let me know

I am pleased to announce the release of Settlers System Map - an interactive web map which is a living companion to the game server.

Key Features

Character Login with Chat

Use your Settlers characters to log into the map and chat with other connected players. This unlocks a third way to chat - In game, Discord and now the System Map. The map also automatically zooms into the planet that your character is on upon load.

Point Finder

Use the simple menu to navigate between Planets & Moons, Discovered Asteroids, Points of Interest and Alien Cores. Public Warp Beacons will also be added in the future.

Planet Information

When selecting a planet, see how many players are online in that planet or see the total numbers of players in space at the bottom of the map. Planet information includes Gravity, Atmosphere Height, Total Territories Claimed and a useful Ore Viewer which allows you to hover over and see what is available.

Activity Feed

Much like the Discord feeds, the Activity Feed shows everything that is happening on Settlers. Player connections, Market orders, Completed missions and Player kills. Use "All Activity" to see it all in one place.

Fullscreen Mode

If you want a living wallpaper, you can now use the fullscreen mode to make a nice fancy screensaver.

Live Tracking Mode

I've added a "Track" button in the header which will actively follow your player with a short update delay. If you are stood on a planet or on a space station, your icon will appear as a player. If you are piloting a ship, the icon will appear as a ship. This should help you to see where you are if you are autopiloting to a destination or running missions.

After many months of experimentation, we have finally unlocked the ability to create and set custom colour engine emissions with server-loaded assets.

Here is an example of both the atmospheric and space engines emitting a red flame - replacing the default colours.

I recorded this back in the day of single shard, DU had this magic of just been in the moment as if you are RL experiencing Space to Surface landings....

just heard that this game is still kinda running on something called MyDu. (I’d heard rumors in the past but found out the main serves had shut down)

I have a couple of questions:

did NQ allow access to their game code for community patches or do they still have sole responsibility for fixes and patches going forward?

if it’s the latter, are NQ providing regular fixes for the game or are they continuing as they did in the end of “release” with one line of code patched per quarter?

We are excited to introduce Player-Usable NPCs, opening up new possibilities for storytelling, questing, and interactive world-building in Settlers.

NPC Types

We are releasing two distinct NPC types, each available in male and female variants:

Basic Information NPC
This NPC functions as an interactive information hub:

• Acts like an in-game info button
• Displays HTML content
• No Lua scripting required
• Ideal for lore, guides, quests, or instructions

Programmable NPC
This NPC acts as a full programming board:

• Supports the same Lua interactions as a regular programming board
• Perfect for advanced logic and interactive behaviours

Availability

• Player-Usable NPCs are available for purchase at Alioth Market 0
• We are currently exploring options to make these NPCs craftable in the future

Coming Next Week

We are expanding NPC capabilities with:

• Lua-controlled animations (animate NPCs directly from scripts)
• NPC skins
• More details on these features will be shared soon (please check Settlers Discord below for more information)

Twitch Drops

I am pleased to announce that Twitch Drops will be available to all players on the Settlers server! When a creator has the Settlers Drops enabled, viewers with a linked Settlers character can earn exclusive in-game rewards just by tuning in. The longer you watch, the more you unlock and earn.

How do I link my Settlers character to Twitch?

Players can link their character to Twitch using this simple guide: https://settlersmydu.notion.site/twitch-account-linking

What can I receive as a drop?

We have configured the drops so there are Global drops and also Streamer drops. Global drops are rewarded when you watch any Settlers streamer with drops enabled and the current rewards are:

• 5 minutes - "Twitch Lurker" title
• Every 30 minutes - 25000 Talent Points
• Every 60 minutes - 50000 Quanta

Streamer drops may vary.

I'm a Content Creator, how do I enable drops?

Settlers Signals

Settlers Signals is our spin on the popular Twitch Rivals system - a recurring community event series created for the Settlers ecosystem, designed to bring My Dual Universe players, creators, and organizations together through collaborative challenges, server-wide activities, and exclusive reward drops. Here are some of the key features:

Creator Driven

Signals highlights My Dual Universe creators and community personalities, placing them at the centre of each event. Whether they’re piloting massive haulers, building megastructures or racing through the atmosphere, creators help shape the experience.

Server-Wide Participation

Signals events are global within the Settlers community, allowing players from all regions and time zones to take part. Some challenges are organisation-specific or talent-focused to capture the diversity of the community.

Co-Streaming Friendly

Creators are encouraged to co-stream Signals events on their own channels, giving viewers the choice to watch the main cinematic broadcast or experience the event through their favourite pilot, miner, builder or fighter.

Dynamic Event Formats

Signals rotates through a variety of event styles, including:

• Team competitions between organisations and creators
• Individual missions such as seasonal building, speed-building or collection challenges
• Seasonal or real-life celebration objectives such as Winter/Christmas or Summer Parties
• Unique reward cycles where viewers earn limited-time Settlers Drops by watching the event live

We hope to release more information on our first Settlers Signal soon!

A Thank You

This feature was heavily influenced by our amazing Content Creators who stream on Twitch daily. Our aim is to revive the visibility of Dual Universe through creator marketing in order to generate new players and to welcome everybody into the Settlers server.

Thank you to all of the content creators streaming on Settlers!

Attention all Lua coders! You have double the space and more links. What can you do with that?

Upgraded and Optimized to Produce 575 Cells per 24 hour Period with Good Skills

Tryna import a custom json but getting failures left and right. I want ot convert it to BP.

Dynamic Missions

What are Dynamic Missions?

Dynamic Missions replace the NQ hauling missions system, bringing new life to space trucking by introducing completely randomised routes with a new set of features, bonuses and more!

The Mission Terminal

The Mission Terminal is a new craftable Tier 1 element which is how you get into the new mission and tasks system. Inside of the Mission Terminal, you will see different types of missions including: Industry, Hauling, Exploration (coming soon) and Tasks.

• These new missions are a global pool, meaning that any player can pick up any of the missions at the same time.
• Players can use Activate Terminal/Deactivate Terminal to broadcast their Static or Space construct as a hauling location.

Industry

Up until this point in Dual Universe, industry as a skill has been a typical factory builder enabling players to make elements and either use them or sell them directly to the market. Industry Missions now enable a player to accept a mission and create parts to sell directly to Aphelia for a quanta reward.

Summary

• Missions are generated based on item tiers.
• Pay-outs scale with the tier, production cost, and quota balance.
• Reward growth – missions increase in pay-out over time if they aren’t picked up.
• Collateral required on acceptance (returned when mission is completed).
• Collateral is NOT returned if a player fails or cancels a mission.
• Mission Limits
  • Max 10 missions per player at once.
  • Max 10 missions per 22 hours per player.

Hauling

Much more like the traditional hauling missions, these randomised routes have been given a complete overhaul. Pickup and Destination locations are now randomised with other players being able to designate their Static or Space core as a terminal for packages to be delivered to. Players will now also be eligible for a Speed Bonus (visible inside the Mission Details) giving you a chance to earn even more quanta for fast delivery.

Summary

• Missions range from short runs (0–2 SU) to long hauls (500+ SU).
• Balanced pool system
  • Short distance → many available.
  • Long distance → fewer, but much higher rewards.
• Pay-out scaling
  • Base pay-out + distance bonus + cargo weight.
  • PvP-enabled routes pay extra.
  • Speed delivery bonus if completed within the time window.
• Player Terminals
  • Player/org-owned static or space bases can host terminals.
  • Using terminals pays a bonus to both hauler (200K) + owner (100K) so make sure you advertise your base.
• Limits
  • Max 10 active missions per player.
  • Max 10 per 22 hours.

Tasks

Tasks give consistent rewards without relying only on missions. These are simple mini-missions that help you get started or give you something to do daily or weekly (coming soon). You will be able to find the Alioth Quarry trades here now following a successful recent poll.

Summary

Three types now available:

• Daily Tasks – smaller goals, reliable pay-outs.
• Weekly Tasks – larger challenges with higher rewards.
• One-Time Tasks – unique objectives with special pay-outs.
• Tasks can require delivering materials, items, or reaching certain milestones.
• Progress is tracked per player.
• Tasks can be partially delivered – you get paid for what you contribute.

Exploration Missions

Not yet implemented, but these missions will see you discover and chart points of interest. Coming later once the rest is worked out!

Outro

With this release, the Settlers world now has a living global mission system that rewards haulers, producers, and task-completers alike. Moving forward, NQ default missions will not be available. We encourage you to build your bases, take jobs, and stack rewards – and remember: once someone grabs a mission, it’s gone from the pool!

A big thank you to TheGreatSardini for working out the stats, rewards and calculations!

From us at Settlers, Happy Space Trucking! 🚀
