Hey everyone, happy holidays and happy new year! Just before ending the year off, we managed to finish the B14 update. At the bottom of the post is the full changelog, but I'll go over what's most important and probably most interesting for everyone here.
Variations!
All player units can now have a color variation!
This extends to some mobs aswell.
New Stuff!
The vegetation bar on the planet select screen now directly impacts world generation, including what and how many biomes will generate. If the vegetation is too low, you might find a lot of "dead" flora and mobs specific for that planet!
2 new decorational buildings you can construct as the Humans (Well) and as the Kegawaki! (Tiki)
Balancing!
The Atmosphere, Water and Temperature aspects of a planet now directly affect your civilization, depending on if they're good for your species or not. On the picture below is an example for the best possible planet and the worst possible planet for Gexis and how it affects their health points. Health points cannot go lower than 40% of the original amount, to ensure that the game is not impossible to beat.
