New features:
•Permanently fire a colonist (send back to VR) from the char sheet is now possible.
GUI:
•New Window: Replace Colonist
It is possible now to replace a colonist also for specific profiles.
You can access this window through the Criogenization Room Window.
•Construction Window now will show the blueprint you can use with your selected building+module. This way, in combination with Resource Windows (F2), you can check each building productions before building it.
•Resource Window will now show additional information about energy, maintenance cost and the estimated sell price for the production you are querying.
•Characters listed in the Criogenization Room Window that won't be available much longer will now display a red arrow to inform about it.
•Added new button to auto-arrange Inventory items. It is at the lower left hand corner of your Inventory.
• Item context-description (info displayed hovering mouse over items) now show also the exact amount of units owned. E.g.: You may see at inventory you have 250K of an item and the contextual info it will show 250.321 u.
•Blueprint Window will now show an extra green detail to help identifying when lane is running.
•New font -more legible- for numbers.
Key binding:

*This new key combinations added to help laptop-track pad users
New Productions:
•Disassemble Wiring. (Recycling Plant)
•Disassemble Reinforce Wiring. (Assembly Tunnel)
*Disassemble other electronic components like batteries will be available in later patches where market system AI is implemented.
Balancing:
• Generator components crafting and prices readjusted.
• Botanic Garden now allow up to 8 farmers (before it allowed just 4)

•Water desalination plants now allow up to 6 operators (before it allowed just 4)
•Tomatoes suffered a high reduction in fertilizer from 2,500 to 1,500; but lane will require 800 Energy -they need lot of heating- (being 250 the usual for the rest of vegs). This change is related mostly to hard-difficulty level testings.

•Cargo ship components now are a bit more efficent.
•Cabling(Wiring) won't be available at market any longer.

high beta plastic content garbage
high gamma plastic content garbage
