11.81 Patch Notes

Gameplay Changes

• Costs of resource production buildings has been decreased for higher levels and the overall cost curve has been smoothed. ROI scales much more smoothly now as they reach higher levels.
• Increased the cost of spire upgrades for each additional colony so new colonies get increasingly more expensive to create.
• Reworked the Dyson sphere cost scaling: Max Level is now Level 100 and it can now only be constructed on Star Planets. Dyson Sphere will now out scale multiple Solar Arrays after level 20.
• Shards gained from Kraken objective kills reduced to 25% of normal shard value

QoL

• Added the ability to choose which minute of the hour you send cargo routes, and how many times you want the route to trigger each time
• Added 'load from seed' to Map editor, automatic save on exit, plus optional 'quadrant mirroring' so you can automatically mirror your map edits across the quadrants
• Made certain numeric fields capacity bounded and added support for mouse wheel, Delete, Shift (+-10%), and Ctrl (mix/max) to allow for more fine control over the values

Bug Fixes

• Fixed cargo route travel speed being permanently clamped to freighter speed regardless of ship type sent
• Fixed the combat simulator visual bug where all ship stats were the same

AI Improvement

• Improved the AI brain with further tournament data training and prevented stuck/stalling behaviors that were occurring due to recent updates
