Hope you enjoy the update! Patch Notes - Version 1.8.0

Global Updates:

  • Enhanced: Massive game-wide performance optimizations implemented across all stages to drastically improve frame rates and memory usage.

  • AddedNew 'Void Hunt' mini-game successfully integrated into the Null tab.
  • Fixed BugHelp Codex UI been fixed to contain all new help codex correctly.

  • Fixed Bug: Stage 5 to 7 help codex were missing.

  • Known IssueAccidentally destabilized high-yield automation during core rewrites. It is currently a bit buggy, and a hotfix will be deployed as soon as possible(Maybe).

Stage 1:

  • BalanceCompression options has been changed from 1,10,100 to 1,5,10,15,20,25.

  • Fixed Bug: Players are no longer stuck with the compression they clicked on, and can choose compression freely(if unlocked upgrade).

Stage 2:

  • Fixed bugResolved persistent issues on the Star Chart to ensure assets and lines render correctly.

Stage 3:

  • Fixed Bug: Auto-Explore no longer awakens the Void automatically. It now stops itself and notifies the player when the next hex would cross the awakening threshold.

  • Fixed Bug: Auto-Stabilize was deducting Pristine Light twice per action due to a double-spend in the automation layer. This caused PL to drain without the tile ever being stabilized.

  • Fixed Bug: Reset Fractured Void button was not working correctly, crashing the game.

Stage 5:

  • AddedReset Homeworld button is now in settings under reset Fractured Void button. Only available during Stage 5.

  • Fixed Bug: Zone Control: Military achievement was never unlocking.

  • Fixed Bug: Total Blackout achievement was never unlocking.

  • Fixed BugThe New Genesis, Merciful Shutdown, and Universal Defiance achievements were never unlocking at the moment of choice.

  • Fixed Bug: Merciful Shutdown had no retroactive unlock check on load, meaning it could not recover even if the save contained the correct ending state.

Stage 7:

  • Fixed Bug: Network Synchronized achievement was checking the wrong variable.

Stage 8:

  • Added: Stage 8 is now live

  • AddedNew specific achievements tailored for completing Stage 8 milestones.
