[BREAKTHROUGHS]

New research and some breakthroughs build on each other.
Therefore, the game starts with all possible breakthroughs, not just five.

All breakthroughs are unlocked in the technology tree from the start, but must first be researched with the corresponding prerequisites.

The breakthrough "Improved Solar Collector", for example, is now a prerequisite for researching "Graphene Solar Collector" and receiving the upgrade of the solar collectors.
To compensate for this, there are high skill requirements and an increasing research time.

[UNLOCKING]

Food and material fabricators and all associated recipes are accessible on every map.
Research into the production of mech cores and the associated mechs as well.
The corresponding requirements for research are still there.



[DESCRIPTIONS]

Each new item or building option now displays detailed information about all its properties.
Each new research now provides detailed information about what will be unlocked next.

[REPAIR FUNCTION]

You can repair damaged but not yet destroyed equipment. Additional options are added to the tailor- and soldering bench.
(Armor: Synthetic armor and better / Weapons: Futuristic and new weapons)

[RESEARCH QUEUE]

[SUBMENUS]

To prevent the upgrades from making the menus confusing, several submenus have been created for each affected building option:
All Turrets, Batterys, Generators, Lightning Rods, Motion Sensors, Power Cell Generators, Solar Collectors and Wind Turbines.
These can now be upgraded like buildings, which saves time for demolition and new construction.
