Hello, Pioneers!

This update focuses on streamlining your early-game experience, giving you more powerful tools to manage your growing industrial empire, and squashing those pesky bugs you’ve reported.

🌟 New Features

  • Smoother Onboarding: We’ve implemented a brand-new tutorial that is much easier to follow, ensuring new Pioneers can get their automatons up and running faster than ever!

  • Revamped Tech Tree System: Dive into a new tech tree and research process to shape your civilization's unique evolution.

  • Industrial Mobility: You can now relocate buildings without having to dismantle them! 

  • Strategic Overviews: Blueprint mode now defaults to a top-down view for better planning.

  • Heavy Lifting: Introduced the Bulk Mover, an automaton upgrade capable of transporting significantly more materials but moves a lot slower.

  • Large Language Model: Many improvements to the AI, making the behaviour generation smarter and more reliable.

  • Truck Improvement: You can now detect if a truck is docked at a dockhub in signal editor. 

  • Quality of Life:

    • Added more tooltips for Greenhouses and Farming.

    • New keyboard shortcuts for zooming in and out.

    • Added Disembark and Control Current Airship buttons right in the airship info UI at the top of the screen, and the Return to Last Continent button on the airship itself.

    • Backpack UI size now part of the save file

    • Show shortcuts in more places on the screen

🛠️ Bug Fixes

  • Stability: Resolved game crashes when placing Radars and fixed an Itempedia crash.

  • World & Map: Fixed floating power poles and turrets on Europe Island, and corrected coal mines disappearing from the minimap.

  • UI/UX: Fixed AI tutorial UI overflows, dialogue layout issues, and disappearing UI after demo completion.

  • Gameplay: Fixed the "infinite inventory" bug, rescued stuck enemy drones, and ensured saves for custom commands are now permanent.

  • Airship: Corrected machine gun turret orientation.
