      • 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.

  • High-resolution sprites for the rest of the game, including a few changes to some entities
  • Final game balancing
    • Science pack technologies [28]
    • Separation of nuclear energy and nuclear processing [29]
    • The rocket parts have their own technologies and are used in more recipes besides the rocket [30]
