Weekly Release Changelog v0.25

Dominions & Siderians

• Siderians can subordinate autonomous systems or other dominions:
• Siderians use their Proselytism stat against the Stability stat of the targeted system;
• If the action succeeds, the Siderian creates a dominion belonging to the player:
  • Dominions evolve on their own, as autonomous systems;
  • A player's lexes also apply to their dominions;
  • Dominions earn their owner a share of their credit, ideology and technology production;

• Some lexes allow increasing the tax rate of the dominions;
  
• Siderian actions have a cooldown;
  
• A new panel in the system view shows the state of the system and allows administrative actions:
  • The player can transform a dominion into a system and vice versa (for a cost in ideology);
  • The player can abandon a dominion or a system, which then becomes an autonomous system.

Balancing

• Slight modification to the behavior of autonomous systems (their construction choice);
• Merged "Improved Thrusters" and "Assembly Chains" patents;
• Merged "Modular Fuselage" and "Orbital Holds" patents.
