This time, we are addressing our UI and adding a whole new expedition for planets with the Tomb World anomaly. At the bottom of the post is the full changelog, but here's some highlights:
Tomb World!
The anomaly has received a brand new expedition with new enemies and a new boss. I'm not going to spoil the boss, it's really cool though!
Big Balancing Changes!
The changes mainly affect Gexis, since they can now send up to 4 units to a single task, their buildings now slowly take damage and need to be rebuilt, everything they harvest they get 20% food from the original resource, etc...
Oh, also, units in underground expeditions now use torches, so keep an eye out for your fuel count, otherwise everything will eventually go dark.
New UI!
Out with the old, in with the new! The UI now takes up less space in the game and looks waaayyy nicer.
