Hello, Universe Architects!
Moving onto Beyond Beta Build 8.71, we have a lot of new changes to share with you. Due to the amount of edits, it was necessary for us to reset everyone’s beta progress this week. We thank you for your understanding, and we hope you enjoy this new and improved build!
Fleshed Out Rare and Epic Cards
There are new cards to collect! The Beyond now has its own unique Rare and Epic Cards with complete tooltips- ready to be discovered at different ranks. No more funky Mesozoic Valley references here!
Double the Dark Matter
Dark matter payouts were pretty limited, but now we’ve doubled the amount that you can earn! We look forward to hearing your feedback about how this has affected your game progression.
Increased Constellation Piece Drops
Not enough stars? Not a problem! We’ve also increased the amount of Constellation Pieces you can collect from ranking up planets and opening loot boxes.
Better Dispatch Mission Rewards
Some players were having issues with not being able to instantly claim their Dispatch Mission rewards after completion. Now it should be seamless!
Other Changes:
- Unlocked Constellation Pieces should be selectable again.
- Added new graphics and updated UI for Planet Types (removed Mesozoic Valley placeholders).
- New Space Garden view HUD.
- Background idle is now (finally) working!
- Customized the UI colors for Beyond- though still a work in progress.
- Zoom tiers are now based on the distance from the Sun.
- Added options to increase speed and to reverse simulation orbits in the Space Garden.
- Saturn’s rings are now always there.
- Fixed 2x Astronomy Boost issues.
- Fixed the location and scale of the Kuiper Belt and varied Celestial Bodies.
- Fixed the comet’s orbit.
- Made major balancing and pacing changes.
Additional Patch Fixes:
+ Fixed a bug preventing the Dispatch Mission form being collected.
+ Fixed the Spacetime boost from not charging after watching an ad.
+ The Spacetime boost now has graphics for 2X and 4X mode.
+ Solar system view - all comets and dwarf planets now have selection radicals!
+ Dark matter is now correctly named in buy panel.
+ BUG: Fixed the missing graphic in Mission Requirements.
