The Galactic Phenomena Update (Beta)

This huge update contains new galactic phenomena which spawn during play.

Mana Nebulas:

  • Appear outside of systems.
  • Can be mined for large amounts of mana.
  • Have a short lifespan.
  • AI race to capture these valuable resources.
  • Player can ‘flag’ these as priority constructions for constructor ships.

Hives:

  • Appear outside of systems.
  • Spawn a wasp every ten turns.
  • Can be converted by gods.

New AI for Colony Ships and Constructors: (beta)

  • Ships created away from the main territorial hub will now favour constructions within that area, resulting in pockets of civilisations appearing over the map.

Bug Fixes:

  • Creating Space Mines will no longer cause the game to freeze if no valid location can be found.
  • Construction ships will no longer try to change 'God Asteroids'
