Threat Level Detected

  • Rebel attacks are slightly changed – there is now a Rebel Threat Meter underneath your Remaining Camp count, letting you know you’re getting close to aggravating a Rebel Attack
  • We’ve also rebalanced and adjusted the frequency and wait periods for different parts of the Rebel Attacks as well as their difficulty – let us know what you think!
  • Discovered and resolved something in UI that was causing performance issues (both over the course of gameplay due to entering and exiting buildings, and at 6pm-8pm due to shadows being rendered on objects that did not require them)
    • Please let us know if performance has improved! We are really excited about this fix.

Gotta Go Fast

  • The more Engines you build inside a ship, the faster the ship will go (up to a certain point!)

  • Slightly increased the radius of all Energy Relays
  • Made some visual adjustments to existing overlays and day/night cycle lighting
  • Buildings now display a red hologram if they can’t be placed on a tile, as well as change cursors when invalid/valid placement
  • ? Combined the Territory and Command overlays into a singular overlay!

  • Advisor system has gotten an overhaul, please let us know what you think!
