Catalyst: a new tile in the Spire, from 1e30 total nanites. Every pulse fills the phases of a stage, and every stage brings catalysis. Nanites upgrade the generator (more catalysis per stage, a faster beat); catalysis buys permanent pace for each research branch. It comes with 5 catalysis when unlocked, so the first effect level is right there.
Improvements
Upgrades with two effects (Full Assembly MK9 and MK10, Resonance Core, Probe Coupling): the gain of the next level now sits behind the effect it belongs to, in that effect's colour, instead of twice in a row on the button. Their description is one sentence and no longer gets cut off, and the same goes for the Scaffold.
Outposts: the nanite prices of orders rise a bit more steeply again in the middle of Outpost I (Lv 9 ×1.4, Lv 20 ×2.4, from Lv 32 ×4.3). Outpost II, antenna, tanks, seed ship and colonies also cost ×4.3. Orders already started stay paid.
