Greetings Space explorers!

We have just released a new build, 0.26.4.17.8 BETA! This build introduces some of the critical fixes and changes! If you encounter new issues or preferred the previous default build, you can switch to branch 'previous' in the game's library settings on Steam.

Changes:

added difficulty options (basic multipliers as of now, might not be displayed properly on the following screens)
replaced planet images, contract windows, market and research arts made with help of AI with the game’s screenshots, and NASA and other photos
updated descriptions on ‘RESOURCE TRANSFERRED’ cyclical mission condition to clarify its function
updated Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Italian, Korean, and Spanish translation
shortened sound of click
small earth landscape improvement
Fixes:
mission progress over 100% when planning two Atlas missions at once
not visible colonised planet lights
FPS drops after 2070
loss of fuel when cancelling mission in planning
constant acceleration flights starting from Sun
fix preventing late game saves breaking in rare scenarios
exhaust velocity in SC panel displaying wrong amount
fixed interstellar assembly/ship lacking habitat spaces
tooltip fixes and improvements
minor fixes for cyclical missions (display of cargo in mission list section, notification spam)
fixed the most common crashes and exceptions
Known issues:
the values on the screens following the difficulty choice screen are not displayed properly, but are still in effect
Stratos flights from non-Earth objects to their orbit costs no fuel
constant acceleration flights starting from Sun
fix preventing late game saves breaking in rare scenarios
launching the game issues on uncommon multi-screen setups. Known workaround: ⁠https://steamcommunity.com/app/1369700/discussions/0/802344445710216010/
exhaust velocity in SC panel displaying wrong amount
fixed interstellar assembly/ship lacking habitat spaces
competition buying offers for huge amounts of money
Earth deterraforming too fast
some of the translated texts might not fit the UI perfectly in a few places, or be inaccurate.

We’re aware of your requests regarding cyclical missions and UI, but addressing them will take time.

Thank you for your ongoing feedback and support!
