Patch 1.01 - Stability & Player Feedback

PATCH 1.01 - STABILITY & PLAYER FEEDBACK

Intro Cinematic

• Added player-controlled pacing between major story acts - the intro now pauses with "[SPACE/ENTER] Continue..." at 4 key narrative transitions so you can read at your own pace

• ESC still skips the entire intro at any time

Turn System Clarity

• Harvesting now clearly displays "[PULSE CONSUMED] Harvesting advances time by 1 Pulse" with a mini turn report showing resource changes

• Harvest menu now explicitly states pulse cost in both normal and high-danger zones

• Only the next command and harvest advance time - all other actions are free

Resource Management

• The status command now shows a full "PER PULSE" economic breakdown:

• Per-building-type list with counts and individual production (e.g., "x2 Nutrient Vat +10B")

• Total income from all buildings

• Food consumption breakdown (civilians + army)

• Net resource change per pulse

• Sustainability warning with estimated pulses until starvation when biomass is negative

Origin System

• Fixed origin selection not properly communicating player's choice to the game backend

• Origins now load from authoritative data instead of hardcoded UI values

• Fixed origin not being saved/loaded correctly in save files

Diplomacy

• Fixed terminal diplomacy commands (sendenvoy, proposealliance, etc.) not actually applying relation effects - they now properly modify species relations

• Diplomatic actions correctly delegate to the Diplomacy system

Military

• Military recruitment screen now loads unit data from the authoritative database instead of hardcoded values

• Fixed recruitment cost display showing incorrect values

• Added population cost tracking for all unit types

Research

• Fixed research command calling wrong internal function, which could cause research to not properly deduct costs

Exploration

• Region navigation now dynamically loads from the Region system instead of hardcoded arrays

• Region and location descriptions now support localization

Save/Load

• Fixed player origin not being properly restored when loading a save

• Fixed origin display name in save file list

Stability

• Fixed compilation error from duplicate method definition in building system

• Fixed variable scope error in military recruitment display

• Multiple null-safety improvements across UI controllers
