Version 1.32 Change Log

Release Status: *** UNRELEASED ***

Welcome to our first update of 2025! This is a fairly small update as we focus our attention on the major changes coming with our first DLC in a couple months. For January, we’ve added new gravity wells, more planet textures, a rebalance of Exotics and Surveying, AI improvements and a bit more.

...

  • Rebalanced Exotic Refinery Unlocks:

    • TEC Exotic Refinery Unlock tech moved from Tier 2.5 to Tier 3.

    • TEC Quarnium Forging tech moved from Tier 3.5 to Tier 4.

    • Vasari Orbital Exotic Refinement tech moved from Tier 1.5 to Tier 2.

    • Vasari Quarnium Forging tech moved from Tier 3 to Tier 3.5.

    • Advent Exotic Refinery Unlock tech moved from Tier 2.5 to Tier 3.

    • Advent Plasma Furnace Unlock tech moved from Tier 3 to Tier 3.5.

    • Advent Quarnium Forging Tech moved from Tier 3.5 to Tier 4.

      • Where 0.5 Tiers indicates cost (by position).

  • Survey Rebalance:

    • Massive and excessive over-extraction across the galaxy has invoked a new shortage of planetary Exotics! We are greatly reducing sources of Guaranteed Exotics from Survey, while increasing the chance to acquire a Bonus Exotic when surveying. Several planets are also being adjusted in the type of Exotics they give. This should slow down the onset of capital ship spam and title titan rushing somewhat; and give more early game space for smaller ships to operate. High value planets now give more Exotics overall compared to common planets, ensuring they are appropriately valued territory.

      If only one number is listed, it is either unchanged or a new value.
