This update addresses probe availability and performance degradation during longer expeditions.
Changes:
- Fixed recurring stutters that could develop after completing additional research, scans, and monitoring operations.
- Reduced unnecessary background processing of completed research history.
- Reduced repeated interface updates while probes are actively gathering research.
- Improved performance with multiple probes operating simultaneously, including at accelerated expedition speeds.
- Probes, rovers, and drones now have unlimited replacement availability during Early Access.
- Deploying a probe no longer prevents that probe model from being used at another research site.
- Existing field deployments remain active and continue gathering research.
- Duplicate monitoring of the exact same target is still prevented.
- Updated Probe Bay information across all supported languages to clarify deployment availability.
This update is compatible with existing saved games and does not change terrain or planetary environment content.
