changedChanges to marketWe have made major changes to market in order to make it more interesting and to start to approach the survival factor : • The number of available items have been greatly reduced. • Your colony's starting money has been reduced, The final amount will depend on your difficulty level chosen. • Your colony's relationship with Corporations will determine the available items for sale at their respective markets. Very bad Relation <10: Will close its market for you. Bad Relation <40: You can't trade influence with them. Neutral Relation <75: Will sell you only the basic materials.

changedChanges to DiplomacyCorporation buildings built in your colony will have a negative effect on your relations with their rival Corporation only if you have the rival's diplomacy tech developed E.g.: An Eco Corp building will sub 1 reputation point with the Neo Industrial Corp (Eco's rival) only if you have Neo Industrial's diplomacy tech developed.

changedColonists' compatible profilesAny work position has an ideal profile to be developed with. This way, Farmer profile will be ideal to work in the Greenhouse; The Heavy Operators will be ideal for the Electro Refinery, etc. A worker in an ideal position earns a morale bonus daily but, on the other hand, if the place is inappropriate he will receive a morale penalty. However, there is also the compatible profile, where the colonist will receive neither bonus nor malus. The profile compatibility table has been updated to: Versatile: Compatible with any profile. Artisan: Operator. Recycler: Technician. Programmer: Researcher. This way next profiles have no other compatible one but versatile: Director. Farmer. Medic. Pilot. Heavy Operator. * Note versatile profile can go in any position being always compatible. * For this patch we have updated again the Resource Scheme Guide , which now includes also information about the ideal profile for each work position.
changedChanges to construction materialsWe have reorganized buildings' tiers, with the goal to make the game play more fluent. • The plastics quality required by buildings in Tier 1 has been reduced from plastic prefab modules (craftable in the Prefab Factory) to polymers (craftable in the Plastic Factory). • All the construction materials for buildings have increased their cost in ingots. *We will update wiki ASAP with detailed information about building tiers.
