Version 1.51-1619

[ADJUSTMENTS]

Color setting for eternium armor.

Game rules that make the game more difficult allow you to unlock achievements.

Main color of all alien turrets changed to black to reflect the adamantium part.

The "Alien Contacts Unlocker" research has been removed.
This was only added temporarily to fix a bug in unfinished games with the 1.4 update.


[FIXES]

Battery upgrade label removed from "Power battery" & "Elerium battery"!
Battery optimization is only added on new batteries, not on upgraded.

Eternium rooms and fortifications now also unlock these.

Expeditions fixed, random activation without someone being on an expedition no longer works.

Fixed the story bit that unlocks Eternium.
If the landing site was occupied by an Adamantium shipment, nothing could be unlocked from that point on.
=>
The story bit “Asteroid Intercepted” is now split into two identical parts.
The first is active until all alien research is completed, after which it is stopped.
This means that the landing pad for the story bit "The Arrival" always remains empty and the Eternium tier can then be unlocked.
After the device has arrived, the other part of "Asteroid Intercepted" becomes active and deliveries continue as usual.

The Pillar of Eternity zero value error has been fixed.

[GAMERULES]

Eidetic Memory - The loss of experience points from skills overnight is reduced to 0.

No Alien and OP Content - Blocks the Energy Sphere and dependent on them: Alien Contacts & Ascension, the expeditions Alien Communication & Asteroid Mining and all available Armor/Research/Turrets/Weapons that result from them.

No Crystals - Removed, Crystal Solarpanels & Crystal Batteries are always available now.


[RESOURCES]

Adamantium - Can be found on Expeditions to Asteroids


[SCENARIO]

Trade Scenario Settings removed because it was just a fixed value that I liked.
For full control over this setting, I recommend the "Customizable Trade Scenarios" mod.


[TRAITS]

New traits added to the ascension and/or new/exsisting charcters


[ADJUSTMENTS]

Characters:
Slightly changed traits for Marco & Maria

Compatibility:
From the last update -> Alien Communication unlocker removed, this was only temporary

The total costs remain unchanged!
- Optimized experimental weapons
- Elerium reinforced weapons
- Elerium reinforced carbon armor
(Can now be crafted on tailor benches like any other armor, added +10% gas deflection on each armor part)


Adjusted bonus from research for battery storage expansion:
Old +100%/+200%/+300%
New +100%/+125%/+150%



Weaponupgrades redesigned:

They are much too strong, especially the level 5 pulse rifle can wipe out entire hordes on its own.
The previous bonuses will be reduced, but the damage will be increased.

Comparison old vs new:

Attack damage 0%, 0%, 0% => +10%, +20%, +30%

Attack speed +25%, +50%, +75% => +10%, +20%, +30%

Critical hit chance + 5%, +10%, +15% (unchanged)

Durability x2, x4, Indestructible => x 2, x 3, x 4 (can be repaired now)



Sleep training:
Lv2 + lv3, research time slightly reduced.


Supply fabricator:
Now has a slightly different color, so he no longer looks exactly like the food fabricator.


Upgraded turrets:
Now have a slightly different color for each rank, based on the original version, no rainbow turrets ;)



[COMPATIBILITY]

Project-X compatibility can now only be activated via a game rule and is no longer activated automatically.



[EXPEDITIONS]

Alien Communication:
The Ascension bonus is no longer available to all survivors.
Only the first survivor who completes the expedition receives the bonus.
Unlocks the repeatable version of this expedition and can be used by all survivors.
(Currently a placeholder, there are further plans, more below)

Activation for ongoing games added. Will be removed with the next update.
Unlocks 5 days after the research for "Alien Communication Device" is done.



[FIXES]


Battery optimization:
Different levels only appear once the previous level has already been researched.
This corrects the bug that caused a lower level to be researched later, resulting in batteries degrading again.


Expedition "Explore the Unknown":
Is no longer repeatable (no effect after finishing the first expedition).


Research: Alien Communication Device:
Now shows what is unlocked.


Research:
Dimensional Rift, Pocket Dimension & Quantum Gravity now correctly displays the status effect.


Void Storage:
Can now be placed on flooring.


Weapons:
The crafting time for level 4 and 5 weapons has been adjusted.



[FUTURE PLANS]

Ascension:
The colonists gets the health effect:
Ascended, gets tired only half as quickly.
Additionally, they receive a new random trait.


Expedition:
A new expedition to mine an unknown resource from asteroids.
This will then allow some of the new technologies taught by the aliens to be developed.


The next technological level:
There will be another tier - maybe two - of armor, buildings, turrets and weapons.
For this reason, the previous levels were adjusted.


General balancing:
At the end of all research and expeditions, you will be very powerful, but this is intended to represent the pinnacle of technological development and not a cheat.
All mod content will be reviewed again after completion and adjusted if necessary (to avoid excessive progress in the early or mid-game).

[V1.20.1]


[ADJUSTMENTS]

Mining Machine:

Can no longer be built inside buildings or on roofs.
Produced resources can now be picked up by drones.


Supply Fabricator:

Increased recipe production quantity from 1 to 3 per day.


Turrets:

Completely redesigned, the defensive bonuses were too high.

In return, they now offer more range and damage increase.
For comparison, the last rank:

Old -80% energy consumption, -80% malfunctions, +80% durability
New -30% energy consumption, -50% malfunctions, +30% durability, +10m range, +2 damage



[COMPATIBILITY]

Project X:

Compatibility can now be activated via a game rule, making a research available that unlocks all missing ones.
The effect will remain until the next update, even without an activated rule.


Cyberpunks - Weapons, Armor, & Buildings Only / Old Earth Tech - Redux:

Upgrade labels for batteries, turrets, power pylons and wind turbines have been adopted from the mods.
Now 100% compatible!
Two research projects for increased battery capacity are still blocked. Follows in the next update.
