Hey Settlers!
We have been watching streamers and YouTubers building crazy big settlements that we didn't anticipate. We noticed the lag and FPS drop during the pod placement for very large settlements. In this patch, we fixed these fps drop issues, and overall increased the stable FPS value.
Another big issue was that when you launch a spaceship successfully the EXP gain was linear. We changed this EXP curve to make it so that when you successfully finish a planet, you gain enough EXP to unlock the next one. So you have to play every planet once to unlock the next now.
We did other enhancements and bugfixes, here is a full list of them;
