- Fixed: Control Panel MAIN tab: 'Current Output' stays zero

=================
Hi Galactic Survivalists,
We just released Alpha EXPERIMENTAL 7.6.0 from the Alpha 7 branch. We know that we promised to reveal soon the features of Alpha 8 - however, we still need a bit time before we can reveal the features because we want to make sure that they are working before we promise stuff. In any case, we a very confident that you will be happy about Alpha 8 because we are working on some highly requested features from the community.
Please report bugs and issues here: https://empyriononline.com/threads/bug-reports-alpha-experimental-7-6-x.35817/
Changelog: Alpha EXPERIMENTAL 7.6.0 (Build 1452)
Changes:
- Added possibility to set a separate Range and Speed for weapons ins space in Config.ecf: "SpeedSpace" and "RangeSpace"
Important: since we now dynamically set the correct range, you must set "display: false" for Range and RangeSpace > see our Example_Config.ecf (for all Item Ids, we will do the same for all Block Ids soon)
- Survival Constructor now has automatic crafting capabilities as other constructors
- Added console cmd: "uresource destroyall" in case there are problems with underground resources
- Added alternative version for Masperon Moon (NewAlien2_V2)
- Scenario Shadow of Starlight: removed random resources and added back fixed resources on Kayam Planet
- SP default Scenario Mission update: Some text adjustments in Robinson Protocol
Major Weapon Balancing:
- Set a dedicated PLANET range for all devices (this range is influenced by the atmospheric density as usual)
- Set a dedicated SPACE range for all devices
- Significantly increased SPACE range for all devices
- Slightly decreased PLANET range for some devices (Especially for now stronger Minigun and Cannon)
- Removed explosion damage from all Laser weapons
- Increased DAMAGE for all devices (up to 30%)
- Significantly increased DAMAGE for Minigun and CANNON but reduced Rate-o-Fire in the same scale (so the DPS are similar to the before state)
- Set a dedicated PLANET and SPACE Speed for all devices
- Increased PROJECTILE SPEED for all devices
