  • The captain's log can now be cleared with F2
  • Added a pop-in camera animation for 3D interiors
  • Added a zoom-in effect for entering a 2D interface from 3D
  • When hailing other captains they'll sometimes tell you of a station nearby that they've recharged their petroop at (might come in handy)
  • Yist flowers now have a few different colours for decorative purposes when beamed down
  • Added palm trees to sandy beaches (they're pretty similar to normal trees except they don't degrade to ferns)

  • Added 15 more SNN headlines for late-game events
  • Added a terminal to the 3D engineering
  • Showing all signs or not is now saved to your game
  • Petroop costs more in pirate systems
  • Aligned all the search prompts to be accessible with the same button (H) for muscle-memory
  • Transmissions now show over tracked cargo
  • Tweaked something secret (maybe it won't be so secret now)
  • Tweaked wording in various places
  • Tweaked the floor of the bridge in the intro look less like a missing transparent texture
  • Slightly increased the chance of finding snowmen (vitally important)
  • 3D camera height now lerps instead of snapping
  • Prevented some duplicated transmissions

Bugs fixed in this version

  • Fixed the broken Grog headline
  • Fixed the broken Spacejack headline
  • Fixed the broken new colony headline
  • Fixed laboratories using subalt bars when the entity's science rating is maxed out
  • Fixed Ctrl+J mapping to enter in Windows
  • Fixed not getting an unhappy transmission on destroying the Monke or Ratto homeworlds
  • Fixed the missing characters at the top and bottom of a planet's atmosphere
  • Fixed entities seemingly being way too clumped up when generating a new cosmos
  • Fixed tytopops not eating enough types of tiles for them to actually be a problem (you could previous just box them in with any spare cargo which wasn't very threatening of them)
  • Fixed double spaces after ranks in conversations
  • Fixed cosmic database links at the ends of lines not having numbers
