Dear Terraformers,
The beta branch has been updated with the build 1.512, adding nine bugfixes and two other changes.
Bugfixes
- Power Infrastructure’s (194) action could be greyed out despite the necessary resources being available.
- Mining Rights (067) and Mining Area (064) were missing production icons when using Robotic Workforce (086).
- Helion could fall into negative MegaCredits when attempting to buy Standard Projects using Heat with no MegaCredits.
- User playing as Helion was unable to use Heat to buy cards with certain actions.
- In very rare cases, two winners were wrongly declared at the end of a game despite different final scores.
- The player tray remained on an opponent if they gained resources during the user's turn.
- Terraform rating continued to increase when performing actions which would increase an already maxed-out global parameter with Regolith Eaters (033).
- The action of Search for Life (005) revealed the card only to the player using it.
- "Ranking" was wrongly mentioned twice in the player's profile.
Miscellaneous changes
- The amount of game seeds involved in the creation of game sessions increased from 999 to 2,147,483,647.
- The in-game credits now contain the names of users who actively participated in the previous beta tests.
