  • [p]Reduced the Pop Growth Speed penalty on the Necrophage trait from -75% to -50%.[/p]

  • [p]Necrophages (and other empires that have multiple species present) should no longer sometimes start with unemployment.[/p]
• [p]The Resettlement Prohibited policy now grants +100% Automatic Migration. (In other words, banning manual resettlement increases automatic resettlement.)[/p]
• [p]Empires with biological ships can now access repeatable technologies for explosive weapon damage and fire rate[/p]

  [/p]

• [p]Major Event Chain - modders would be asked to make a major event chain similar to the Horizon Signal, that is either associated with a solar system initializer or planet type[/p]
• [p]Origins - we have done origins before, back when they were first introduced, but it’s been five years and this theme is a strong contender - modders would be asked to create one unique origin[/p]
• [p]Precursor Event Chains - this is another strong contender. With the ability to choose what precursors spawn in the galaxy introduced in 4.0, there’s plenty of room for more (non-canonical) galactic history to be told![/p]
• [p]Crisis Paths - since the introduction of Cosmogenesis in The Machine Age, crisis paths have been moddable, but generally require a lot of work to add to the game when it comes to scripting and artwork (which means we might see fewer finished mods). Modders would be asked to create one unique crisis path and final objective - completing the final objective should trigger the victory screen.[/p]

The Stellaris Wilderness open beta has just begun, as developer Paradox trials potential changes to the best new origin in the space strategy game. Introduced with Stellaris Biogenesis, Wilderness allows you to inhabit a sentient planet that gradually spreads its biomass to other stars. It's a tremendously creative alternative to most of the game's playable factions, and has become very popular among players as a result. But it's run into a few teething issues, so game director Stephen 'Eladrin' Muray outlines a new test run for a potential solution, and calls on your help to put it through its paces.

• [p]Experimental changes to Wilderness:[/p]
  • [p]To prevent issues with biomass not being available on planets due to construction, all Wilderness jobs are now automatically worked without requiring biomass. These jobs are worked by your primary species.[/p]
  • [p]Jobs for Wilderness are now also properly represented instead of being worked by a single pop with massive workforce bonuses, you now see exactly how the job is worked, and the sliders are also now usable to customize how much of each job will be worked.[/p]
  • [p]These changes are intended to prevent situations where some jobs would go unworked, make Wilderness less bug-prone, and are intended to give you more control over your economy in deficit situations. Please provide feedback![/p]
• [p]The experimental fast save transfer for multiplayer is included in this build.[/p]

• [p]Fixed ringworlds colonized by gestalt empires having a mysterious city district that shouldn't exist.[/p]

• [p]Stability: Fixed a remaining issue with loading savegames crashing or freezing the game.[/p]
