Bugfixes
New Worlds
Some new planets have been created, and are distributed around the now significantly larger star cluster. The systems with new content are: 40 Eridani, Tau Ceti, and Sirius B.
Cool Planet: Tau Ceti 1
A low density temperate gas giant with a highly oxygen/water rich atmosphere, making it an unorthodox, but very viable candidate for colonization. It will have some moons as well but I havent gotten to that yet.
Warm Planet: 40 Eridani A-1
A hot desert world with a thick atmosphere. It may once have hosted a biosphere in the distant past
Temperate Planet: Venus
Venus can now be terraformed using a similar, but more difficult and expensive, version of the same process used to terraform Mars.
Balance Changes
Technology/Unity cost reduced to 0.5x by default
Certain faction loyalty bonuses flattened
Bankruptcy now makes factions angry for 20 years, in addition to other debuffs
Rebellions which fail to materialize now also make factions angry
Logistics Capacity Removed, replaced with Admin Efficiency where applicable
Urbanization replaced by Infrastructure, which is expensive but has little upkeep, and is limited by technology
Warp Drive Tech 2 now enables interstellar transportation of non space units
Warp Drive 2 is now small enough to be put on any space ship
New "Irregular" Unit type that is absolute garbage but also only costs manpower
AI likes building spaceships more
AI likes building air and strategic units more, but only major powers
Manpower modifiers from characters flattened greatly
Manpower recovery reduced by 66%
Recruitment buildings (Port, Aerodrome, Spaceport, Barracks) generally cheaper, but limited by technology
All disloyal factions will now give unrest
Unrest generally more dangerous
New/Improved Edicts
Edicts now use admin efficiency
Added a few new edicts
New edict macro builder which allows you to mass edict in your country and filter by admin efficiency
