Here is more than 50 improvements for the game! Nothing game-breaking, but we did a complete review and sorting of all the remaining tasks for the game, and we were able to complete a lot of old ones that had been reported/suggested a very long time ago! And now we know exactly what we have to do up to the v1.0 release (still planned for Q3 of this year).
And we are currently working on a very interesting and long awaited feature... So don't hesitate to join the discord and the Beta branch, to follow the development and help us by giving feedback on the new features!
Plan B - v0.9.2 build 987
Improvements:
Charts: show temperature for liquid water and oxygen for farms
In zoomed out view, show vehicles, buildings and stops with the color of their containers. Vehicles as oriented rectangles.
Update localisation from Crowdin. All help is most welcomed! Especially in Czech, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Thai, Ukrainian
Update wiki with all automatic data from game (items, recipes, etc.) (all help is also welcomed !)
1st ship achievment
Add warnings and messages when we try to build in an invalid position, or a non-looped train, or on a 3-way train stop, etc.
Balance:
City can now change research center speciality
[E] input as "main item action": to rotate left dam pump, and open depot/facotries item choice (displayed on button)
[R] as "secondary item action" to rotate dam pumps right, or move to origin/end of transport lines.
[Enter/numpad enter] return to validate popups with text inputs.
Depots can be build in water up to 50m (instead of 20m)
Set a limit to farm silos transfert speed
Improved space elevator position (not too far from main city)
Balance vehicles along a line faster
Increase delay before city population goes down
Create mineral at loading, if a mineral is almost depleted (if <5000, create 20k) (failsafe mechanism)
Planet generation: prevent having world with oceans only on equator (little fertile area worlds)
When city shrinks, keep city hexagons connected to supply centers, waste disposal, and research centers
Bugs fix:
- Fixed major issue with planet mineral optionscarse and very scarse had more minerals than normal (now 75% and 50% of normal quantity). Map names suffix changed to "f"
Fixed magic increase of item count, related to the usage of the level tool
- Farmsprevent fields under water, fixed farm drones waiting, fixed a perf issue with farm drones

Fixed bug with info panel showed during dialog animation
Fixed minimap error with F10
