      • Starting area resources are usually in one ore patch each (depending on settings).
      • The starting area patches are usually close together.
      • The starting area size setting no longer affects resource placement, it just has a fixed size.
    • The resource generation settings now have a much more dramatic effect (previously they had little to no effect).
    • Increased the number of steps (small, medium, big, etc) for each setting from 5 to 9 for even more customization.
  • High-resolution sprites for the rest of the game, including a few changes to some entities
  • Final game balancing
    • Science pack technologies [35]
    • Separation of nuclear energy and nuclear processing [36]
    • The rocket parts have their own technologies and are used in more recipes besides the rocket [37]

    • Better separation of technologies between high tech and production science [39]
  • Upgrade planner [40] [41] [42]
  • Rich text editing [43]
