0.655.4 Hotfix 12
This fixes one serious bug that affected a few people, then a couple of very minor issues, and finally has an early peek at a few items from Update 16.
0.655.4 Hotfix 12 Raptor Clarity: Added in some additional suggested structures during the various projects of the Endless War Raptor path, to make some bits of that more obvious.
Rare Mapgen Exception Fix: Fixed some cross-threading exceptions that could happen during mapgen and other collision checks if the timing of multiple threads was just wrong. The errors that would pop up from this were fleeting, rare, and harmless, but annoying.
Rare Unit-Death Exception Fix: Fixed a rare exception that could happen in tLowerStats if your thread timing was just wrong when a unit or structure you had selected died. The error was harmless but annoying
Critical Deterrence/Protection Calculation Fix: Fixed an issue that could cause Deterrence and Protection to drop out from under buildings during turn change, which would then get you attacked in a major way. Yiiiikes!
Paving Over Slums Removed: "Paving Over Slums" as a tech has been removed. It was deeply confusing in terms of order of operations how it worked, and it was in no way needed or intended in terms of the core flow for the compulsion path.
Update 16 Preview Senior Technician Rebalance: Lower intelligence, but higher combat stats.
Fog Updates: All of the existing fogs have been updated for better visibility when you are zoomed out, and in general to be more polished. There are also four new fog styles now included, making for more variety.
Worldbuilding Statistics: There are a variety of statistics you can now see in the City Statistics tab about the number of people in the world and region, and so on. The cohort statistics are not yet visible in this preview, and the new city statistics are only in English until Update 16.
