Region data checked:
Veil of Silence
Starting dungeon. Its Expedition Plan lists a 'Silence' environmental effect. After the Floor 5 boss, the guild turns the area into a forward camp with the Guild Merchant.

Festering Burrow
Unlocks after the Region 1 boss. More wood and clay than Region 1, plus copper and silver ore, goblins, Gloths and Bubble Toads. A starting run here begins at the Region 1 boss room.

Unlocks after both regional bosses and the credits. Abyss chests were buffed in v0.4.12, and CanOpener plans further reward improvements, a Mana Saturation stack indicator and a trophy building.

Dungeon rules that apply everywhere
| Rule | What happens | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Floors are randomised | Floor layouts and room compositions change on every expedition, and regions roll random environmental effects. | Steam store page |
| Depletion | Each floor has a depletion gauge. The in-game text says item drops fall once it is fully depleted. One guide video puts the gauge at 0 to 5, the penalty at -50% for the whole region and the recovery at 15 in-game days; that is a single source. | In-game text quoted on the Steam forum; 10 Advanced Tips video |
| Dungeon Stay | Every day past midnight inside the dungeon moves the Dungeon Stay mood penalty to its next stage (-4 mood on day 1). Higher management difficulties make it harsher. | Community wiki (Mood); CanOpener supporters feedback post (22 Apr 2026) |
| Saving | No manual save inside the dungeon; the game autosaves when you move between floors. | Steam forum |
| Building inside the dungeon | You can build workstations, barricades and camps on a floor, but anything left behind is gone when you leave that floor. | Steam forum |
Depletion and Dungeon Stay are the two reasons to plan short, focused runs. The depletion guide covers both, and the Abyss guide covers the endgame.
Region questions
How many regions are in Dungeon Settlers?
Two in Early Access: the Veil of Silence (forest) and the Festering Burrow (cave), plus the Abyss. CanOpener plans six regions by 1.0, with the Penance Mine in Update 5 and the Corrupted Chapel in Update 6.
How do I unlock the Abyss?
Beat both regional bosses. After the Festering Burrow boss the credits roll and the Abyss opens. If the portal home failed after the Region 2 boss, a developer confirmed that bug is fixed; update the game, or switch the language to English, return home and switch back.
Is the dungeon endless?
The regions are not: each has a set number of floors ending in a boss. The Abyss is the repeatable challenge mode, with floors 1 to 20 in the documented build.
