Patch - 1.2.7.12 Dynamic Civilian Groups (Experimental Only)

We are currently 24-48 hours away from merging experimental into the public normal game. We are still conducting various bug hunts and making slight adjustments for QOL.



To opt into experimental install "Cepheus Protocol Experimental" in your steam library.
It is no longer a beta opt in but an entirely new game granted when you purchase the base game. (Click Show details for a full breakdown of the changes)
