[h2]Added[/h2]
  • Conveyors, resources, gas pipes, power cables, and outposts are now included in capitalization in the Monitoring & Statistics window.
  • Colonists now gain experience while working at outposts.
  • Researching the Gas Extractor now unlocks pipe placement mode.
  • Added a button to move the camera to a point of interest in the global Laser Cannon quest.
  • Added new research upgrades for the Large Solar Panel.
  • Added an upgrade for the RTG, increasing its maximum output to 40 units of power around the clock.
  • Added research that increases colonists’ movement speed indoors.


[h2]Fixed[/h2]
  • Fixed the generation of gas veins on the surface. After this fix, veins will be regenerated, so you may need to rebuild Gas Extractors.
  • Fixed the display of gas amounts in storage.
  • Fixed a bug that allowed copying a purchased but unresearched module.
  • Fixed the second upgrade for the Fundamental Science Lab.
  • Fixed an issue where the third upgrade for the Kitchen could not be applied.
