Changelog 8/2/2025
- Dyson Sphere no longer can be built separately
- Star Heaver and Dyson Computer added
- Matrioshka Brain no longer gives bonus for mining deposits
- Star Lifter no longer gives bonus for research deposits
- Habitats can now be built in systems with other megastructures
- Habitat orbitals will automatically be reset after building a megastructure on the planet they orbit
- This lets habitat orbitals gather resources from planets they might otherwise not be able to as well as allows the orbital to continue gathering the resource without needing to reload the save
- Removed Ascension specific industrial and refinery upgrades
- Nerfed Biomass Reconstitution civic to -50% alloy cost and +150% food cost
- Added Techs for Star Heaver and Dyson Computer
- Renamed Mega Construction Tradition to Construction
- Implemented economomic categories for kilostructures and hectostructures

- Rebalanced megastructure upkeeps
- Rebalanced Construction Tradition
- Added Orbital Economies of Scale AP

- Added Capacity for Exceptionalism AP
- Added Civil Ascendancy AP
- Balance pass on various structures
- Balance pass on various civics

- Implemented combined end game megastructure limits
- Each end game megastructure tech now provides +1 total to the limit
- Restored megas not counted
- With all techs this gives +8 total capacity
- Added system tooltip to track megastructure capacity
- Can build multiple of any end game megastructure
- Contingency relic gives +10 megastructure capacity
- Renamed Engineering tradition to Mega Construction
- Orbital Core Drill count bug fix
- Megastructure placement bug fix
- Combined Arc Furnace, Dyson Swarm, and Core Drill limits into a combined kilostructure limit
- Techs give +3 limit still, mega engineering tech provides +6 kilostructure limit
- Added prospector station to tooltips
- Condensed Kilostructure tooltips
- Master Builder AP now adds +3 kilo and +1 mega limit increases
- Restored star lifter can no longer be dismantled
- Mega Construction tradition now only adds +1 kilostructure limit and completing the tradition now gives +1 megastructure limit but no longer provides +1 megastructure build capacity

- Dyson Sphere can now be constructed normally as well as upgraded from Dyson Swarm
- Updated solar array/dyson swarm event to take into account binary systems
- Megastructure Fortifications can no longer be designed, but now automatically upgrade for no cost
- Megastructure fortifications now use the megastructure symbol instead of the military defense station icon
- Added tool tip to track and count the amount of megastructure fortifications in a system
- Added [Redacted] back into the mod
