1.4.0 'META' [25.01.2024]
Pushing previous beta update to all users. [hr][/hr]
1.4.0-prerelease 'META' [22.01.2024]
More optimizations, new galaxy sizes, and provisional removal of half-added features.
Added
- Add: Map -> Map -> Duel map size - 50 stars galaxy.
- Add: Create Map -> Option to select duel stars galaxy map.
- Add: Create Map -> Recommended settings for duel stars galaxy map such as player count etc.
Optimized
- Optimize: Resource Manager -> Reworked to use multithreading for most monthly resource calculations.
- Optimize: Pathfinding -> Reworked to use multithreading for calculating routes, to reduce lag spikes.
- Optimize: Fleet -> Eliminated large lag spikes when moving fleets (on modern CPUs).
Fixed
- Fix: Start Game -> Does not open Ubiquity and spawns in the center of galaxy.
- Fix: Ubiquity -> Regular starbase labels appear huge.
Changed
- Change: Resource Manager -> Space entity players no longer have resource calculations, reducing lag.
- Change: Map Generator -> Star counts for each map size are now `100`, `150`, `200`, `250`, `300` instead of `100`, `200`, `300`, `400`, `500` for new games.
- 400-500 stars is impractically large.
- Double the smallest map size is too large of an increment.
- Galaxy visuals were generally poor on map sizes of >300 stars.
- Loading saves from old map sizes has been tested to work as normal.
Removed
- Remove: Celestial Squid -> No longer spawns in galaxy, because it is currently too broken.
- The celestial squid may appear again when more bug fixes and polishes have been done.
- Remove: Blue galaxy smoke from gold galaxy.

New Stars is a 4X strategy game, on a galactic scale. Explore new worlds, build mega-structures, and found prosperous interstellar colonies. Go head-to-head with alien empires and build the greatest empire to survive the test of time, or be the last remaining in the galaxy to succeed.
Customize your empire from world preferences, eight different ideologies with their own bonuses, hundreds of empire icons and more. Customize a unique galaxy based on your preferences. There are five different galaxy sizes to choose from.
Unique empires, species, and clans exist within a customizable and procedurally generated galaxy with limitless possibilities, and thousands of unique planets, stars and worlds. Some planets have valuable resources that can be collected.
Explore star systems and discover new secrets of the galaxy, and find clues to your lost home. Discoveries such as white dwarfs, ancient ruins, lost ships, and much more can be found within the abyss. Some planets have hidden features that increase their value.
Expand your empire across new stars to new frontiers, and build strong colonies that will power your galactic economy. Collect natural resources from planets and stars using starhubs. Beware of pesky space pirates that may plunder your resources for their own gain.
Merge ships into one fleet, and combine them against your adversaries. Defend against attacks by upgrading starbases, or fortifying your colonies. Research new ship types or advanced military capabilities to get an edge over your alien foes.
Declare wars, trade resources, make agreements, declare friendships, share intel, forge galactic unions, and much more. Some empires may be openly hostile or require appeasing, others may be cooperative, and some may be integrated into your empire.
Construct military starship presets with unique turrets. Unlock larger ships and more powerful turrets to allow your empire to get an edge in interstellar warfare.
There is much to do in New Stars and you choose how to play.
New Stars is in development, so there is more yet to come...
