Weekly Experience Update (Apr 27 - Apr 30)

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Dear Builders, this week we focused on expanding the story endings and streamlining multiple core systems for a better gameplay experience. Here are the key changes you will experience in this update:

I. Story & New Endings

  • Multiple New Endings: Added new ending branches such as "Mountain Seclusion" and "Devoted Research," complete with exclusive cutscenes.

  • Early Game Experience Upgraded: Revamped the audiovisual presentation of the prologue and completely redesigned the "My Story" interface.

II. Core Gameplay & Streamlining

  • Zero-Cost Trade Wars: Credit costs for Chamber of Commerce promotion and smear campaigns have been officially reduced to 0, significantly lowering the barrier to entry for commercial warfare.

  • Cross-Planetary Storage: Distance restrictions have been removed. You can now deposit items directly into the warehouses of a faction's home planet, making asset management much more convenient.

  • Transparent Intel: Interfaces like "Financial Diplomacy" now directly display success rates and Affection changes. Additionally, initiating an attack will now clearly indicate any missing war resources.

  • System Expansions: The "Dynamic Prophecy" system has been updated with various new random Buff types.

III. UI & Performance Optimization

  • Terminal UI & Display: Cleaned up the Smart Terminal by removing redundant features and false notification dots. Added a comprehensive Buff detail pop-up so your current status is clear at a glance.

  • Smoother Performance: Deeply optimized the core pathfinding system, significantly reducing lag and stuttering during map exploration.

  • Critical Bug Fix: Fixed an occasional full-screen freeze issue that occurred during Trade War victory settlements.
