Greetings Terraformers,
After last week's beta, we're glad to announce the public release of a new patch for Terraforming Mars!
Due to some fixing in the rules, please note that all the ongoing online games will be cancelled!
You'll find below all the improvements and bugfixes:
Improvements
- A new animation speed setting has been added: Very Fast x2.5.
- The flow for the Sell Patents standard project has been improved.
- The hitbox of Ganymede Colony (081) has been enlarged.
Bugfixes
- During the AI’s turn, the players are now able to display the AI’s corporation card or their own corporation card
- The AI now always selects other players as targets for its project cards which steal or destroy resources
- The AI now selects other players if possible as targets for its project cards which steal or destroy resource productions
- The AI now pays the MC cost of the actions of Inventor's Guild (006) or Business Network (110)
- Sabotage (121) and Flooding (188) can now be used to target anybody including the active player
- The passive effect of Viral Enhancers (074) has been fixed
- CEO's Favorite Project (149) can now only add a science resource to Search for Life (005) if there's already one such resource of more.
- Mars University (073) now works as designed
- Underground City (032) now checks for the energy production instead of the energy resources as a building requirement
- In Solo Challenge, placing the ocean gained with Flooding (188) next to a tile owned by the human player will no longer softlock the game.
- The standard project City is no longer available for purchase when no valid placements exist.
Known issues
- Viral Enhancers (074) doesn't lower by 1 the plant cost of Moss (122) or Nitrophilic Moss (146). The plant is gained immediately after the card is played.
- Tharsis Republic corporation doesn't allow playing Immigrant City (200) when the player's MC production is at -4.
- During the tutorial 3, leaving the tutorial before the starting hand has been obtained will softlock the game (to be fixed in the next patch).
- During the tutorial 3, the button to navigate through the hand of cards is grayed out and disabled (to be fixed in the next patch).
- Protected Habitats (173) doesn't work as designed (to be fixed in the next patch).
We're working on more content, stay tuned and happy terraforming!
