New update adds planetary outposts. They increase the production of materials and can be expanded at additional cost to increase the production further. Their construction is optional, but allow to reduce the number of collector needed and systems occupied. Each collector creates one outpost and maintains it. If it is destroyed or leaves the planet the outpost is destroyed too.
Additionally this update will be the first of a long-overdue game rebalance:
- Storage ships base capacities will be increased. Materials storage increases to 8.4M, Gas Tanker to 3.8M and Energy Accumulator to 10.8M. The Shipyard storage capacities are reduced to 2.1M materials, 0.95M gas and 2.7M energy.
- Reduce resources production rates by 50% on average. The same reduction applies to ships construction cost, research cost and the initial amount of resources after a New Game.
