addedThis update adds a new form of power generation and adds a feature that supports the 'uncover mysteries' aspect of the game.
addedGeothermal power can now be researched and used, supplementing the existing wind and solar power generation. It can only be used where heat vents are located, so it's not for general use in all locations, but is very useful for certain areas in the Caves.
addedCertain items in the game now have more vague and general descriptions, unless particular missions or other events have unlocked the 'main' names and descriptions of the items. Several missions have been added to the game that relate to this, so that the player can unlock some lore related scan information. For example, the player might deep scan an item of an alien faction that has not been encountered before. The initial name and description might be something like 'unknown device' and 'little is known about this device, which has apparently been created by intelligent entities'. After completing a mission to find more related items, the name and description of the item when scanned might be 'Thrub digging tool' and 'A powered device used by Thrub workers to help dig through soil and rock'.
