Regular Update (experimental)

Experimental_UE5 0.1.17201

Additions

• Added 2 new music tracks

• Control Center: Add "Select All" buttons for everything in the Base tab and also for unit/building lists in the Items tab (Stored, Installed, Can be Produced by, etc.)

• Allow pressing C (copy) while hovering the mouse over the icon of the unit in the unit interface to copy a register reference to it

• Allow pressing C (copy) while hovering the mouse over a unit box in the multi-selection interface to copy a register reference to it

• Bring back copying of unit/building register references in the Base tab of the Control Center (got lost in the previous experimental update)

• Allow alien units to overtake alien explorables (by using an Energized Artifact)

Changes

• Unify behavior of clicking on unit/building icons in the UI (right-click always moves camera, holding shift always toggles selection, regular click always selects)

• Removed "Passive Bugs" cheat button from options (as players can now change the Difficulty setting via the in-game menu)

• In the "Anomaly Base" mission, allow skipping of step 6 if a Virus Simulation Core is already equipped

• Open system index in center of screen from the UI button

• Set alien power generator to be a bot not a building

• Alien power core generates power whenever its in the blight

• Fix for alien core not kicking in when aliens have battery

• Nova power generator consumes plasma crystal now

• More changes to alien frames reduces power to 0 when idling

• Updated effects for alien buildings to use the correct effect

• Removed power consumption from integrated item transporters on alien buildings

• Set bugs and anomaly factions as enemies to each other (doesn't apply to existing saves)

• Minor tweaks to recipes of things unlocked via the human research tech tree

• Malacostra will also rage (speed up) when taking damage

Fixes

• Bring back power usage of "Runner" which was removed by accident in the previous experimental patch

• Greatly improved performance of calculating power grids during simulation update

• Fix bot up-and-down bobbing and sun movement appearing jittery when playing beyond a few thousand in-game days (hit floating point accuracy limit in calculation)

• Fix a menu popup not opening when it's opened via a key press while editing the unit name in the same frame as clicking outside of the unit name text box

• Fix in-game "Server Settings" menu showing "Do you want to apply the modified settings?" after pressing "Apply"

• Fix visibility of movement of allied units not always refreshing rendering state of the fog-of-war

• Improved performance of checking if non-visible areas (chunks) became visible during rendering (slight FPS increase)

• Fix "Mine Metal Ore" milestone numbers

• Prevent potential crash when loading old saves that had a very specific order state corruption due to a past bug regarding multi-carry orders

• Fixed default alien explorable icon
