    1. Update v1.42.6:
    2. Fixed several missing characters in Simplified Chinese fonts.
    3.  
    4. Update v1.42:
    5. Gameplay
    6. Added in new faction population structures, providing a stacking 25% population growth bonus to the planet they are built at:
    7. TEC Orbital Transit Hub
    8. Vasari Labor Distribution Center
    9. Advent Temple of Congregation
    10. Added new map - Cutthroat: In this small system both players have very limited resources to compete with. What will you do? There are minor factions you could destroy, but then you’ll lose access to the markets. There’s a gas giant in the system, but you’ll need to tech up to colonize it. Hidden are two powerful artifacts which could decide it all, if you can find them first!
    11. Changed Planetary Shields to no longer be invulnerable. Planet shields now use shield points, passive regeneration and shield burst like other units. While a planet still has Shield Points, any bombardment damage will be unable to kill population.
    12. All Faction Starbase Planetary Shield item stats set to:
    13. Shield Points: 10,000
    14. Shield Regeneration: 100/s
    15. Shield Burst Restore Cooldown: 30s
    16. Shield Burst Restore Percentage: 50%
    17. TEC Ankylon Planetary Shield item stats set to:
    18. Shield Points: 5,000
    19. Shield Regeneration: 250/s
    20. Shield Burst Restore Cooldown: 15s
    21. Shield Burst Restore Percentage: 100%
    22. Ancient Starbase Planetary Shield item stats set to:
    23. Shield Points: 25,000
    24. Shield Regeneration: 500/s
    25. Shield Burst Restore Cooldown: 30s
    26. Shield Burst Restore Percentage: 50%
    27. Rebalanced Planetary Population:
    28. Planets now start with higher population levels, especially homeworld archetype planets.
    29. Planets now have slightly lower population growth rates.
    30. Planet Track availability rebalanced to better reflect planet intended value and role. Commerce track levels in particular are more common on most planet types.
    31. Commerce Planet Track now provides base credit income and per pop credit income at all levels. Commerce income rates are also higher on most planets.
    32. Mining Tracks now only provide base income values when a planet has only one resource type available, otherwise they provide per pop income only. Base income, when present, now scales with track level. For example, a Terran planet provides both Metal and Crystal per pop, but no base income. A Volcanic planet provides both base and per pop Metal income, but no Crystal income of any sort. A Crystalline planet provides both base and per pop Crystal income, but no Metal income of any sort.
    33. Mining ratios have now been assigned based on faction bias instead of arbitrary Metal bias. This means that instead of Metal bringing in more income than Crystal in all cases, each faction brings in a higher rate from their preferred resource. This should better align the faction economies to match their intended and expected resource profiles, generating shortages and surpluses along factional lines instead of universally generating a Metal surplus and a Crystal and Credit shortage.
    34. TEC Metal and Crystal incomes no longer vary.
    35. Vasari now collect Metal at a higher rate than Crystal (functionally no change from previous patch resource income ratio).
    36. Advent now collect Crystal at a higher rate than Metal (inverted compared to previous patch resource income ratio).
    37. Planet Track level maximum values no longer vary with faction (with the exception of Commerce being unavailable to Vasari and Focus being available only to Advent). This will help planet types retain their identity consistently, especially with so many more planet types now present.
    38. Additional Item slots added to several planet types to accommodate the greater number of planet items in the game.
    39. Increased base Max Allegiance from 20% to 50%. This should incur more cases of needing to convert enemy allegiant pops when dealing with contested planets.
    40. Reduced Allied Pop bonus scalar from 1.0 to 0.5, which means that at 50% Allegiant Population on a planet will receive 25% bonus income from population sources.
    41.  
    42. Advent
    43. Added three new ship items:
    44. Consecration Inducer - rapidly regenerates shield points, especially when empowered by a high Psi Power.
    45. Structural Force Field - grants bonus hull points and an active instant hull point repair.
    46. Votary Siphon - a new consumable item that provides a small amount of Psi Power passively and a large amount when activated. The Votary Siphon replaces the Psintegrat Choir as the free starting item for the Advent.
    47. Added one new planet item for the Hive asteroid:
    48. Neural Stimulator - grants bonus Max Focus and Focus regeneration per population.
    49. Added one new planet item for the Oceanic planet:
    50. Pelagic Interface Relay - grants bonus Max Focus and Focus regeneration.
    51. Added new Advent planet track for Focus. Planets now act as the primary source of Focus for Unity abilities, granting Max Focus based on Focus track level and Focus Regeneration based on population and Focus Track level. Planets favored by the Advent, such as Desert, Barren and Geomagnetic all have higher available Focus Track levels. Focus Track now also acts as a prerequisite for construction of Unity Temple structures, at a rate of 1 Temple available per Focus Track level completed on the planet.
    52. Advent homeworld starting bonus now includes Focus track at level 2.
    53. Base Focus reduced from 1,000 to 100.
    54. Base Focus regeneration reduced from 0.5 to 0.1.
    55. Focus research subjects now give double the previous max. Focus points, but lower Focus regeneration rates. Focus windfall bonuses have also been increased.
    56. Cynosural Reservoir planet item - decreased Max Focus point bonus from 200 to 100.
    57. NeuroAugment Center planet item - effect changed from +0.3 Focus Regeneration to +30% Focus per population.
    58. NeuroPsion Purifier planet item - decreased empire wide Focus regeneration rate bonus from 15% to 10%.
    59. Rebalanced Advent Unity abilities: Focus capacity and regeneration is now more dynamic and generally more abundant, requiring Unity abilities to cost more Focus overall. Cooldowns have also been increased, and are now a factor with leveling to provide some additional incentive to level abilities that provide most of their function at level 1 (like Recall). Max level Unity abilities remain largely rate limited by Focus expenditure and throughput however.
    60. Added Sacrifice Unity ability to Advent Reborn. A remake of the classic Wail of the Sacrificed function from Rebellion. This ability allows the Reborn to sacrifice all of their allegiant population on a planet to generate a large damage wave at that planet and all adjacent planets, dealing more damage for each pop sacrificed - but beware! It deals friendly fire damage as well!
    61. Re-Added Conversion Unity ability to Advent Wrath:
    62. Requires 50% Allegiant population to activate.
    63. Level upgrade requirements decreased from 3/7/12 to 3/6/9 Unity points.

    66. No longer increases population loss from bombardment; increases bombing damage to 50/100/150.

    68. Removed detection constraint (i.e., visibility)
    69. Added requirement that planet must have 50% allied population.
    70. For neutral planets:
    71. Removed detection constraint
    72. Added requirement that planet must be within dominant culture of the Advent player or an ally.
    73. Added requirement that planet must have 50% allied population.
    74. Avatar Unity ability:
    75. Cooldown increased from 30 sec to 240/150/60 sec.
    76. Focus cost from 200 to 500.
    77. Chastise Unity ability:

    80. Ship Max Speed values from 30/45/60 to 15/22.5/30.
    81. Missile Max Speed values from 60/90/120 to 30/45/60.
    82. Cleanse Unity ability:
    83. Increased Focus cost from 100 to 200.
    84. Cooldown increased from 30 sec. to 240/150/60 sec.
    85. Hull restore increased from 0.3/0.45/0.6 to 0.6/0.75/0.9.
    86. Clairvoyance Unity ability:
    87. Cooldown changed from 60 sec to 120/75/30 sec.
    88. Focus cost from 75 to 100.
    89. Fury Unity ability:
    90. Focus cost increased from 300 to 900.
    91. Cooldown changed from 150 sec. to 420/240/90 sec.
    92. Duration changed from 30/45/60 sec. to 45/45/45 sec.
    93. Damage bonus increased from 15/20/25 to 20/30/40.
    94. Penetration increased from 500 to 1000.
    95. Proselytize Unity ability:
    96. Focus cost increased from 75 to 200.
    97. Cooldown changed from 120 sec. to 360/225/90 sec.
    98. Duration changed from 30/60/90 sec. to 30/45/60 sec.

    103. Cooldown changed from 60 to 360/225/90 sec.

    107. While Recall is charging, Weapons, Phase Jump and Abilities are all disabled.
    108. Resurrection Unity ability:
    109. Added requirement that targets be in dominant culture of the Advent player or an ally.
    110. Cooldown increased from 60 to 480/300/120 sec.
    111. Ability changed from random chance to Max Fleet Supply per cast of 20/30/40 per second for 15 seconds, for a maximum potential of 300/450/600 resurrected supply per cast.
    112. Sanctify Unity ability:
    113. Cooldown time changed from 90 sec. to 300/180/60 sec.
    114. Removed detection constraint.
    115. Refined Warheads research moved from Tier 1 to Tier 2.

    120. Transcencia Starbase and Eradica Titan missile Pierce changed from 300 to 400.
    121. Rebalanced Advent Consumable Items:
    122. Plasma Nova Generator is now an aura attached to the casting ship, allowing the enemy to escape its effects by moving away, similar to how Radiation Bomb and Subspace Rupture function.
    123. All Advent consumable items now grant a passive effect while equipped to the ship. This bonus is lost when the item is fully consumed.
    124. Antimatter Pod - 20% Antimatter regeneration rate.

    128. Brilliance Array Antimatter regeneration Psi Power ratio changed from 0.001 to 0.003.
    129. PsiKinetic Plating Armor point bonus increased from +25% to +50%; Armor strength Psi Power ratio increased from 0.25 to 0.3.
    130. Vex Amplifier weapon cooldown bonus Psi Power ratio changed from -0.002 to -0.003r.
    131. Synchronous Shield item rebalanced:
    132. Max Shield point bonus increased from 15%/25% to 35%/50%.
    133. Shield Burst restore bonus increased from 15%/25% to 35%/50%.
    134. Reworked Advent Rapture Battlecruiser’s Malice ability to have a max target count. This was a necessary change as the ability was heavily degrading performance. Malice duration reduced from 30 to 20 sec.; radius reduced from 3000 to 2500; damage increased from 0.03 to 0.3 per damage inflicted with a Psi Power ratio of 0.001.
    135. Progenitor Mothership Colonize ability bonus changed from granting free Research tracks to Focus tracks.
    136. Updated Hydrostatic Shield Dome Max Population point bonus from 150 to 75/175.

    143. Core Systems Armor - providing improvements to Hull and Armor points.
    144. Added two new planet items to the Hive Asteroid:
    145. Xeno Emporium - providing Import points.
    146. Xeno Tech Lab - providing both civilian and military research points.
    147. Added two new planet items to the Oceanic planet:
    148. Resort Complex - providing significant bonus Influence and Influence recharge rate.
    149. Aquaculture Harvester - providing improvements to Population growth rate and Credit export points.

    152. Terran Commerce Mandate research bonus decreased from 25% to 10%.
    153. Increased Novalith Range from 15/20 to 25/40. At 25 AU (base range before upgrade) it should now be able to attack roughly a quarter of the Random 10 Player map. At 40 AU it can attack roughly half of the map, or if built in the center of the map, almost the entire map.
    154. Rebalanced ship items costs to enable more variety and better scaling for capital ships - most notably Heavy Gauss Slugs.
    155. Ablative Armor Ship Item:
    156. Ablative Armor is intended to be a more niche, conditional selection for TEC capital ships to use when faced with mass Exoria Illuminator or Beam Modulator Vasari capitals. Therefore, it has been made cheaper to access (tier 2) and better at resisting beams specifically, but provides a lesser universal bonus (Armor Strength) compared to its counterpart.
    157. Research unlock moved from tier 3 to tier 2.
    158. Raw damage prevented increased from 20% to 50% per point dealt.
    159. Removed max Armor point bonus.
    160. Adds 25 points to Armor Strength.
    161. Reactive Plating Ship Item
    162. Reactive Plating is intended to be somewhat more universally useful compared to its counterpart Ablative Armor, therefore it has been given an improved Armor Strength bonus to ensure it is useful even when faced with non-missile attacks.
    163. Research unlock moved from tier 2 to tier 4.
    164. Removed Max Armor point bonus.
    165. Adds 50 points to Armor Strength..
    166. Radiation Bomb Unit Item
    167. Now applies a Shield, Hull and Armor Regeneration penalty of 25/50%.
    168. Damage increased from 10/15 to 15/15.
    169. Duration decreased from 45/60 to 45/45 sec.
    170. Armor Pierce increased from 250 to 500.
    171. Armor Patch Kit Unit Item
    172. Armor point restore rate increased from 15 to 20 per sec.
    173.  
    174. Vasari
    175. Added one new ship item:
    176. Inertial Anchor - slows missile and strikecraft speed and acceleration significantly near the ship while active.
    177. Added four new planet items to the Hive asteroid:
    178. Cloning Vats - Increases the Population and Population growth rate of the Hive Asteroid.
    179. Closed Cycle Refinery - Allows the Hive asteroid to function as an Exotic Refinery.
    180. Compliance Inducer - Increases the maximum Allegiance, population assimilation rate and Culture resistance of the Hive asteroid.
    181. Industrial Nanoforge - Increases the build rate of ship factories at the Hive asteroid.
    182. City Planet Core Strip value increased from 15,000 Metal and 5,000 Crystal to 25,000 Metal and 10,000 Crystal.
    183. Deconstruction Nanites Planet Item Base Metal income rate increased from 3.6 to 4.8, but can no longer be built on Hive Asteroids or Ship Graveyards. This should increase the relative value of the City Planet for the Vasari, while ensuring that the presence of a Hive asteroid or Ship Graveyard doesn’t give them an extreme economic power spike - especially now that the Hive asteroid provides other forms of Vasari specific items.
    184. Rebalanced economic tech and items to favor boosting base values in several cases, which should enable a slightly less pop dependent playstyle for the Vasari..
    185. Rebalanced beam tech and items to apply to planetary bombardment beams.
    186. Numerous tooltip improvements.
    187. (Paths to Power) Updated Treasure Hunt scenario to display “Enemies Eliminated”.
    188. (Paths to Power) Updated Last Stand to be easier in the first 20 waves.
    189. (Paths to Power) Added button to Escape menu to re-display scenario details.
    190. Added per population research point stats to research planet track.
    191. Added UI and text for new stats.
    192. Added scalar for priority targets range. Allows a unit (which must be able to move) to seek priority targets based on a multiplier of max weapon range. This should ensure that units engage preferred targets more reliably instead of getting distracted with whatever is in range.
    193. Removed ability disable from Magnetic Cloud and replaced it with ability cost and cooldown penalties of 50%.
    194. Adjusted planet_phase_lane_max_distance_radius_scalar on the Random 10 Player map to greatly reduce instances of unintended phase lane layouts in homeworld clusters.
    195. Added Primordial planets to the random rich spawn list. They should now appear about as often as Ferrous and Crystalline planets.
    196.  
    197. Bug Fixes / Misc.
    198. Added initial Discord social SDK features.
    199. Optimized memory pool sizes for visual effects, mesh instances, buffs and unit items.
    200. Made optimizations to RAM usage.
    201. Updated auction notifications so that they appear and stay fixed to the left side of the notification area.
    202. Fixed bug where max population was using base max population instead of max population for planet modifiers.
    203. Optimized ‘Privateer' achievement to be less CPU intensive. This should improve performance overall in the early game.
    204. Fixed but that caused random factions to be selected when loading a multiplayer save game.
    205. Updated Shield Burst point buffs to be green when positive in tooltips.
    206. Fixed some Alert messages from appearing in mod games that were built on older data.
    207. Updated Korean translations (thanks to everyone who’s helping with this!).
    208. (Paths to Power) Fixed issue so that scenario settings don’t change general user prefs.
    209. (Paths to Power) Fixed bug that allowed humans to hot join and/or takeover AI lobby slots in Last Stand multiplayer.
    210. (Paths to Power) Fixed bug that allowed players to change AI difficulty levels when the scenario called for certain difficulties to be blocked.
    211. (Paths to Power) Fixed unique scenario MP games using the last used lobby options. Allowed certain settings to be overridden.
    212. (Paths to Power) Added homeworld victory to Last Stand scenario. It’s intended that if a player’s homeworld is destroyed, the game is over.
    213. (Paths to Power) Fixed View Leaderboard button displaying when there’s no Leaderboard for a scenario.
    214. (Paths to Power) Fixed Scenario Details button in Last Stand breaking pausing and causing the game movement to stutter.
    215. (Paths to Power) Added button to Escape menu to show the full scenario details dialog for reference.
    216. (Paths to Power) Added description to the Vasari ‘Mad Titan’ tooltip.
    217. (Paths to Power) Fixed bug that prevented the Vasari ‘Mad Titan’ from spawning on loaded games.
    218.

    254. Planets can now have Shield Points, Shield Restore Rate as well as Shield Burst stats (cooldown and percentage) assigned to their innate Defense Track levels in factional .player files.
    255. Planets still require the enable_can_have_shields_burst_restored unit mutation in order to gain Shield Burst.
    256. Planetary shield stats can all be assigned via buffs, meaning that any Ability can be used to grant Shields to planets dynamically - including items and planet bonuses.
    257. Sources of Planet Shields stack as long as the provider buffs applying them are allowed to stack, ensuring that a Planet Shield could potentially be made more powerful through multiple sources.
    258. Focus Planet Track:
    259. Supports mana_restore_rate, mana_restore_rate_per_population, bonus_max_mana, bonus_max_mana_per_population, and max_unity_provider_count, as well as the usual max_health_points provided by all planet tracks.
    260. This track type is hidden if a faction does not make use of the Unity system.
    261. Added per population research point stats to research planet track.
    262. Added scalar for priority targets range. Allows a unit (which must be able to move) to seek priority targets based on a multiplier of max weapon range.
    263. Added new action_value_transform_type: per_planet_owner_allied_population_points.

    269. Added ‘Last Stand’ multiplayer scenario (Paths to Power DLC)
    270. For those who own the Paths to Power DLC, you can now play a special multiplayer version of this scenario with up to 2 friends!
    271. Each player starts with bonus resources and a number of colonized planets, plus 2 fleets, defenses, etc.
    272. Players can choose whichever faction they’d like to defend as.
    273. How long will you and your allies last?
    274. Note: Only the host needs to own Paths to Power to play this scenario!
    275. Fixed achievement unlock bugs (general issue from 1.41.6).

    300. Added Advent Geomagnetic planet gravity well type.
    301. New research subjects added to support colonization for all races.
    302. New planet items added.
    303. Paths to Power: The Vasari Mad Titan returns in the Seek & Destroy scenarios!
    304.  
    305. Gameplay
    306. Paths to Power: Updated Seek and Destroy - Exodus scenario so that the Vasari player will summon the Mad Titan unique unit once they control the required Phase Resonators. To achieve final victory, the player must utilize the Mad Titan and their other forces to destroy all the other players.
    307. Rebalanced Advent Credit and Resource cost weightings in line with community feedback.
    308. Rebalanced Vasari Warden and Oppressor in line with feedback.
    309. Rebalance Insurgency based on community feedback.
    310. Fixed Silent Monastery being buildable on planets that it has no effect on.
    311. Insurgency arrival frequency changed from 120s to 200s.
    312. Primacy Insurgency rush strategies force an outsized degree of effort and coordination to counter. Although this tech should have considerable impact as a difficult to set up T5 faction identity tech, reducing the pace at which it snowballs should grant opposing players more time to respond before it reaches an unmanageable level.
    313. Vasari Alliance Nanomedicine tech corrected to properly provide its bonus.
    314. Vasari Deconstruction Nanites - metal income rate increased from 1.8 to 3.6.
    315. Advent Silent Monastery availability adjusted to ensure it cannot be constructed on worlds where it would have no effect.
    316. Advent resource costs for most ships and some structures have been adjusted to better reflect the realities of the resources the Advent can produce. This means a reduction in credit costs on all changed units, with the resultant cost transferred to metal in most cases. This should make the Advent economy flow a bit more naturally, with less severe credit deficits and less surplus metal.
    317. Updated planet culture stats so that max. allied population, neutral population conversion and enemy population conversion stats are based on the dominant culture player, not the planet’s owner.
    318. Increased Advent PD Laser damage from 3 to 5 on all Advent PD Lasers.
    319. Exoria Illuminator:
    320. Increased Heavy Beam damage from 60 to 90, and reload time from 6s to 9s. Damage per second is retained, but a slower firing cycle will result in less flexibility against numerous small targets.
    321. Heavy Beam now has a lock on time of 0.5s.
    322. Increased Medium Beam damage from 15 to 30, and reload time from 3s to 6s. Damage per second is retained, but a slower firing cycle will result in less flexibility against numerous small targets.
    323.  
    324. Art & VFX
    325. Fixed ‘floating’ guns on the TEC Marza.
    326. Fixed mesh holes on the TEC Akkan.

    328. Updated TEC Ragnarov’s Concussion Shot charge vfx.
    329. Updated Ship Graveyard vfx.
    330. Updated Vasari Regeneration Bay vfx and icon.
    331. Updated Advent Deliverance Engine icons and vfx.
    332. Paths to Power: Added Vasari ‘mad’ titan.
    333.  
    334. Misc. & Bug Fixes

    336. Fixed missing Chinese font glyphs.
    337. Added ability to add inline icons to most tooltip sections.
    338. Fixed various tutorial bugs that blocked progression.
    339. Fixed bug where any population not allied to the planet’s owner would cause an allied population penalty. Now cease-fire treaties will cause no penalty and synergy pacts will result in an allied bonus.
    340. Fixed Advent Deliverance Engine culture autocast (which now allows the AI to use it).
    341. Paths to Power: Fixed scenarios from spamming ‘Defeat' screen.
    342. Paths to Power: Disabled Scenarios from triggering certain achievement unlocks immediately.
    343. Paths to Power: Updated ancient starbases so that items/upgrades are cleared out when another player captures the base.
    344. Added support for tooltips on disabled main menu buttons.
    345. Updated planet culture stats so that max. allied population, neutral population conversion and enemy population conversion stats are based on the dominant culture player, not the planet’s owner.
