Build 26337501

Terran Dawn 0.5.6 is now live!

Ship Design and Production

• Named ship blueprint variants: duplicate a design, create different loadouts, and rename or delete variants in the Ship Designer. Each variant appears as a separate choice in the Shipyard and is saved with the current match. New matches start without custom variants.

• Queued ships retain the loadout selected when they were ordered, even if you later edit or delete the blueprint variant.

• Continuous ship production: enable repeat production for individual ship choices and blueprint variants. The Shipyard continues after manual orders, waiting when resources, housing capacity or ship limits prevent the next build.

• The Shipyard now includes category and class filters, search, and sorting by name, build cost or build time.

• More compact shipyard rows and production panels that resize to their contents make the interface easier to navigate.

Controls and Interface

• Right-drag on empty space to set both a fleet destination and its arrival facing, with a formation preview.

• Tactical pause, camera pan and camera rotation can now be rebound. Camera controls also accept mouse buttons. Tactical pause is available in single player.

• Camera movement speed now scales with zoom. Scrolling and controller camera speeds can be increased to 600%.

• Optional activity and cargo indicators on your civilian ships make it easier to track work, travel, deliveries and waiting states.

• The event log now has category filters that persist with saved games. The compact log also uses typography that better matches the HUD.

Better AI Base Defense

• The AI responds better to enemy constructors, forward bases and defensive structures appearing near its bases.

• Defenders regroup and engage more coherently. Under pressure, the AI better balances replacing miners with building the ships needed to protect them.

Balance Changes

• Weapon module damage reduced by 20%.

• Weapon damage research bonuses reduced by a combined 10 percentage points per faction.

• Newly spawned asteroids contain 10% more ore.

• Mining cycles now take twice as long, with the same amount of ore extracted per cycle. This slows extraction.

• Increased base evasion for smaller ships: Scouts 40%, Fighters 35%, Bombers 20% and Corvettes 10%.

• Total evasion chance is now capped at 60%.

Strategic Abilities

• Xenos wreck assimilation now pools available wreck material to create temporary ships in several hull sizes, starting with the largest possible hulls. Unused material remains in the wrecks.

• Voidborn portals now stand vertically and face each other, with purple lightning and refraction effects. Transit is limited to 100 crew and 30 ships.

Fixes and Training

• Fixed an issue that could cause faction textures to disappear.

• Mining and construction effects no longer reveal work hidden by fog of war.

• Fixed exits through the nebula screens around starting areas where scouts could get stuck.

• Mining activity indicators now follow actual harvesting more accurately, including the time between extraction cycles.

• Basic training now teaches how to relocate unfinished base buildings, with updated instructions and narration in all five supported languages.

Thank you for the feedback and bug reports! Several improvements in this update were made in response to player suggestions.
