1.3.1 'META' [17.01.2024]
Experimenting with running monthly calculations on multiple threads, to reduce lag spikes.
Total redesign of ship movement, and rescaling of ubiquity star systems, focusing on fixing pathfinding bugs.
Following the post-release updates, there is a need for more careful and slower updates, like this one, deployed to the beta branch first. This update was delayed by a few days, since it was a huge rework and introduced many bugs that were internally fixed [20+ internally fixed bugs are omitted from the changelog]. This will likely introduce some bugs I have not found, so the update will be deployed on the beta branch first to gather feedback. Sometimes a step backwards is required to take 2 steps forward.

1.3.1 'META' [17.01.2024]
Experimenting with running monthly calculations on multiple threads, to reduce lag spikes.
Fixed
- Fix: Pop manager -> Population of clans does not increase.
- Fix: Ubiquity -> Opening a system is very laggy from new ship pathfinding system.
Optimized
- Optimize: Pop manager -> Reworked to use multithreading for colony population calculations, which should slightly reduce monthly update lag.
1.3.0-prerelease 'META' [12.01.2024]
Total redesign of ship movement, and rescaling of ubiquity star systems, focusing on fixing pathfinding bugs.
Fixed
- Fix: Ubiquity -> Ships often get stuck around planets, or struggle to move around them, especially during battles.
- Fix: Loading screen -> Some text appears to overflow their backgrounds.
- Fix: Combat system -> Ships collide with each other in combat.
- Fix: Ubiquity -> Space squids -> Beelines into planet roundabouts (so does fleet ubi position).
- Fix: Xeno Exterminator -> Raze Colony -> Multiple raze orders can be queued.
Tweaked
- Tweak: Ubiquity -> Systems now always spawn at 0,0 instead of at a slight offset.
Changed
- Change: Ubiquity -> Reduced size of star systems by 10x [due to limitations with new pathfinding system].
- Change: Ubiquity -> Starbases of unknown players no longer have empty HUDs.
Note
Following the post-release updates, there is a need for more careful and slower updates, like this one, deployed to the beta branch first. This update was delayed by a few days, since it was a huge rework and introduced many bugs that were internally fixed [20+ internally fixed bugs are omitted from the changelog].
