    1. Update v1.0.53b:
    2. - Fixed mistakes in the 2003 alien AI that led to invasion fleets being sent too early.
    3. - Extended the "quiet" period in 2003 by 50%
    4. - Broken Earth aliens no longer create invasion goals at the beginning of the campaign on all difficulties.
    5.  
    6. Update v1.0.53a:
    7. This fixes a crash that can happen if a factionless army assaults an alien facility on Earth. This can occur if an army loses its faction in the middle of an assault. This mirrors a fix in 1.0.54 (on our Beta branch with many other updates), but people are hitting this particular crash often enough in DLC scenarios we're pushing out a fix to the default build.
    8.  
    9. Update v1.0.53:
    10. A
    11. - 6306 - Fixed crash when modding TIOrgTemplate when DLC is installed. Note this won't resolve all mod issues that have been reported.
    12. (This fix was erroneously reported in 1.0.51)
    13.  
    14. B
    15. - 6258 - Fixed nation info window control point tooltip displaying off-screen in many languages
    16. - Fixed "Demand Claim" policy bug where the capital is turned over instead of the requested region. Added notification for when alien nation annexes a region by successfully demanding it
    17. - 6279 - Increase tech tree node count value to support modding large numbers of new projects
    18. - Fixed bug where you can't merge with a nation with a missing original capital due to comparison to original capital's current nation's democracy score
    19. - "New Objective" notification no longer displays alternative projects if those projects are never available to the faction in question. Issue #6307
    20.  
    21. AI
    22. - Fix issue where alien transport goals could jam up the saving target system resulting in fleet construction being sidelined
    23. - Destroying alien facilities now causes alien proxy to become suspicious, but only if they were aware of that facility.
    24. - AIs now have time-based logic to periodically check councilors for treachery. Made servants extra suspicious of councilors who haven't been checked for treachery for a long time
    25. - AIs can now use automated bases if they do not possess the ability to build non-automated ones
    26. - Added logic for repeatable projects
    27. - Reduced alien's triggerhappiness with invasion armies a bit. Disabled logic that would greenlight invasion fleets to take off towards earth if a human faction destroyed an alien facility. The "alien nation overthrown" retaliation invasion should only happen the first time now. Quiet aliens speed up sending out invasion fleets if any human faction overthrows their nation
    28.  
    29. Misc
    30. - Hide DLC call to action text in main menu if dlc installation is already present
    31.  
    32. Balance
    33. - Aliens no longer pay a metals penalty to build on irradiated sites like humans do because they are smart. Our observation is this was significantly hindering the aliens in some playthroughs when they built on Io in particular, and to a lesser extent Europa, Ganymede, some inner Saturn moons, introducing too much pure-luck variability between campaigns. Rather than have the aliens ignore those sites, we opted to keep more of the map in play for the aliens with this change instead, but we will be watching feedback in case it supercharges them.
    34.  
    35. UI
    36. - New UI element flagging new candidate councilors and orgs in their respective lists; they update at the monthly new councilors/new orgs triggers
    37. - 6299 - "Take me there" will zoom to the fleet that destroyed the hab instead of the orbit on notifications when applicable
    38. - 6313 - Tech category tooltip will now include malus effect amounts in the breakdown
    39.  
    40. Dark Skies
    41.  
    42. B
    43. - Fixed Nasa-inspired Battlecruiser nose mount not displaying for large slot weapon
    44. - Fixed the Servants' special trait in 2003
    45. - Fixed Academy's missing guaranteed "Making History" project in 2003 scenario
    46. - Fixed bug where certain nearby asteroids were not accessible after completing one of the new DLC projects that unlock asteroids.
    47. - Fixed bug in BE where Initiative's special cybernetics project doesn't give access to new augmentations
    48.  
    49. Gameplay
    50. - BE: Added union trigger to Hawaii
    51. - BE: Gave Venezuela's war a purpose (a region claim) + gave their island-based army a navy
    52. - BE: Pakistan is now able to capture Afghanistan if they win. Afghanistan is harder to conquer (higher miltech)
    53.  
    54. Balance
    55. - Delayed the alien invasion a bit in Broken Earth, scaling with difficulty (from the shortened time I set earlier)
    56. - Increased semimajor axis exploration range of early automine projects a bit (2.5AU => 2.6AU)
    57.  
    58. AI
    59. - 2003 scenario: aliens create and greenlight invasion goals to retaliate against aggression towards AA. Aliens react to attempts (both failed and successful) to destroy alien facilities by invading sooner than normal. Aliens create invasion goals when one of their regions is captured, and when their nation is overthrown. After a certain number of invader armies are destroyed, this behavior stops.
    60. - Refactored "quiet alien" campaign triggers to always use TIGlobalValuesState.IsQuietAlienCampaign()
    61. - FactionGoal_InvadeEarth : Refactored quiet alien invasion logic, added case for alien nation existing. If the alien nation exists, aliens will no longer wait to send reinforcements.
    62. - Broken Earth aliens send invasion armies more aggressively
    63. - GetBestOperation() : Quiet aliens no longer engage in spontaneous attacks
    64. - FactionGoal_FoundBase : Quiet aliens give up on hab founding if the humans get there first
    65. - HumanHabPlanner : no longer founds stations outside the earth system if they can't build mining bases yet.
    66. - Gave 2003-specific firstTechNames to ensure variety to early AI research priorities
    67. - Disabled the alien army retaliation logic for when it loses a region.
    68.  
    69. Update v1.0.51:
    70. A
    71. - Fixed bug where factionless army could crash the game by occupying the alien capital. Guess that's never happened before
    72. - 6315 Update army IsMoving flag after operation removal. Also adds a Count > 0 guard to NationPeriodicUpdate where it was possible for an out of date IsMoving flag to allow indexing into an empty operations list.
    73. - 6306 - Fixed crash when modding TIOrgTemplate when DLC is installed. Note this won't resolve all mod issues that have been reported.
    74. - Fix a crash when the unrest tooltip is opened as the AA loses all its regions
    75. - 6075: Attempt fix a rare, non-reproducible crash that seems to be the AI using stale data to consider targets for STO fighters
    76.  
    77.  
    78. B
    79. - Add some missing config commas that break some mods
    80. - Previously ongoing 2022 campaigns no longer have their CP maintenance costs increased due to recent changes
    81. - TINationState : Fixed bug where nations could acquire new regions, unlocking the MC priority with pips pre-assigned, but not update the control point weights. The results in the wrong number of IPs being produced per day.
    82.  
    83. Dark Skies DLC fixes
    84.  
    85. - (DarkSkies) 2003: Fixed bug in the Academy and Protectorate campaign objectives that prevents completion of ConductHydraDiplomacy. Existing saves will repair themselves after updating

    87. - "Sensing Weakness" project now correctly requires Zabaykal to exist instead of Greece

    90. - Localization update
    91. - add some flags
