We just released our first minor content update for Star Ruler 2 since release. As always, read about some of the highlights here, or scroll down for a full changelog.
Research Web Overhaul
The research grid and associated graphics have been completely redone, making research paths and unlocks clearer and easier to use.
Quantum Batteries
The new quantum battery modifier can be used to partially satisfy a subsystem's power needs, but needs to be charged with your empire's Energy when constructed.
Additional Race Traits
A number of new race traits have been added, based on a point buy system. Every race starts with 1 free trait point to spend, and all of the default races have been given an additional default trait choice to make use of it.
