Update 1.21
Forests Grow Deeper
This is a big change and makes it more interesting how you grow forests strategically: When you surround a forest with other Forest pieces they grow much bigger. Thick forests compensate much more emissions and ground pollution.
Bonus on Fossil Fields
We had to completely rework how the influence of fossil deposits on the production of power plants worked out. So far fossil power plants always had full productivity as long as there was still a neighboring field having at least 10% deposit. This is more differentiated now:
- The power plant will still have full bonus when it’s on a fossil field with more than 50% reserve.
- Down to 10% it will still have half productivity.
- The same goes when the neighboring field has 50% or more reserve.
- Below that it will have no more bonus.
- On fields that are not near a fossil reserve it will have a malus (as it used to).
Relocating City Districts
You can now relocate city districts without losing the complete inhabitants of a district. You can also relocate supply buildings without losing their production for a long while and thus causing panic in your population.
General Cost Reduction
We reduced the costs for planting trees and claiming land. Please see if it feels more balanced for what you get.
Chinese Voice Over
We have a Chinese Voice Over now! If you speak Chinese please give it a try and tell us what it sounds like. We were very amazed by how great automated voice over worked for the German language. The main story campaign was once translated into Chinese by a professional agency so the generated speech should make sense. The new Galaxies campaign and some menus have been translated with automated translation. We are looking forward to get your feedback on this.
Beauty Fixes
- The planet's atmosphere isn’t cut on super wide screens anymore.
- We’ve updated to Unity Version 6 to give you a more stable game experience.
- You can now zoom closer into the beautiful details of the game world.
- Supply capsules are not landing on forest anymore that are then auto self destructing to make place for the capsules.
- The license button is not hiding under the info box of the ring menu anymore.
Thank you for your interest and support! Please let us know what you think of the latest version and write a review if you want to support our work!
