Transformations DLC is almost ready
Here are the major features you can expect from the DLC in the brand new announcement trailer. Stay tuned as we're finishing up the last details of the next DLC for Imagine Earth called Transformations:
[previewyoutube="EMzh6WjRLGw;full"][/previewyoutube]Transformation DLC Features
The DLC features a campaign in which you are part of a rescue team that wants to transform civilizations before their planets are destroyed by a climate catastrophe.
New buildings
The DLC coming early next year will finally include new ocean buildings: A wave power plant and a floating algae factory. There are slums from which you must relocate the population to modern quarters, and mountains of trash that you can recycle as a source of income. Insect farming will most certainly be introduced as a new food source, and you can create lakes to cool down the temperatures in your cities, as heat waves will be a new and threatening disaster.
Bonus on Fossil Fields
We had to completely rework how the influence of fossil deposits on the production of power plants worked out. So far fossil power plants always had full productivity as long as there was still a neighboring field having at least 10% deposit. This is more differentiated now:
The power plant will still have full bonus when it’s on a fossil field with more than 50% reserve.
Down to 10% it will still have half productivity.
The same goes when the neighboring field has 50% or more reserve.
Below that it will have no more bonus.
On fields that are not near a fossil reserve it will have a malus (as it used to).
Emission Tax vs. Compensation
We have raised the CO² tax to make it more relevant and change the behavior of other factions as well.
Abandoned Cities
The procedural Planet generator can now generate abandoned cities and you can also define how much they should lie in ruins.
Relocating City Districts
You can now relocate city districts without losing the complete inhabitants of a district. You can also relocate supply buildings without losing their production for a long while and thus causing panic in your population.
You can choose to colonize whole new galaxies totally freely in the endless game mode. Inhabitable Planets will be discovered after some time and can be entered with a new landing permit..
In this campaign style game mode, we colonize entire galaxies and coordinate our progress on a central space station. The corporations compete to establish thriving colonies on several planets.
The corporation that has earned the most victory points at the end of the pioneer phase is announced as main administrator of the galaxy.
You get a space station. It serves as our headquarters and central hub for your planetary colonies. It also enables interplanetary research and licensing of technology and allows you to unlock extensions for your city centers. Here you can also trade at a much better rate than in your colonies.
With this new high-tech construct you can move your resources and items quickly and free of charge between the colonies and your headquarters space station and thus also ensure exchange between the planets.
Extensions provide special abilities for your city centers. You can install a maximum of 3 of them per city center. You can install them directly in your landing capsules right here or install them in your city centers later, which comes at additional costs.
There is also a four-planet Story Campaign centered around the Genesis Seed Initiative, starring our new USN Advisor Ixas.
Your City Center capsules can now pack items from your space station. You can redefine the extensions to be installed before landing.
