Steam Release: I am still waiting for the final go from Steam to launch the app, hopefully this comes today and I can launch in time - Else it will push to tomorrow :(
Update Highlights: (Mostly from player suggestions)
- Pause and resume individual industries from the Economy panel, including food, science and special resources. Paused production stops its inputs and maintenance while other industries continue operating.
- Expanded tutorial guidance covers army zones, patrols and managing multiple worlds. In the base solo universe, a real incident on Pale teaches you to follow battle reports and return to your capital.
- Press Home or use the map's house button to return to your main capital, including from another world.
- New industrial artwork for Mycelite, Aresite, Runenstaub and river gold.
- See active research progress directly on the Research button, with completion percentage and remaining time in its tooltip
- Completed translations of most newspapers and timeline items.
