Friends of planetary colonization, finally a new update is ready and delivers a big chunk of improvements. One of special importance is the integration of the gamepad control, for us the opportunity for a major overhaul of the whole interface. Controller support is important for the XBox version but would you use it on PC? Tell us how you think about it and what else could be tuned. Have fun reading and trying it out, here's the direct link to the feedback forum.




No more research budgets are required to research in campaign. After the system of tokens and budgets was already switched off for other game modes, you can now finally do research in the campaign without having to wait for another budget. All you need are research facilities to drive the process forward. City centers also come with a built in research unit. Of course you can still buy and sell budgets, they are now called licenses and activate researchable options directly.




We installed a new sound system to bring atmosphere and plausible sound backgrounds to the planets, so that the environment feels acoustically richer. First there is an ocean sound, which now increases in volume the more oceanic fields are nearby. Next, we will apply this to city and forest sounds, for example.




We have invested an amazing amount of work in the implementation of a game pad control system so that the game can be released on the Xbox console at the end of January. Because of the use of rings and radial menus from the beginning, the whole thing turned out to be very intuitive and if you know the right places, it works surprisingly faster than the mouse control. But as the headline makes clear, this is all prototype. We would like to hear your opinion about how the game pad control feels in this first version.



One advantage of the whole game pad conversion was that we redesigned a lot of buttons and menu structures to be more readable and accessible. For example we found old load game menus that were long forgotten over time.




Previous tool tips have often covered the control ring half or almost completely. Therefore, the tools with name, price and description have been moved to the far right.



Three new synphonically composed music pieces underline the flow of Imagine Earth in the new version. It is remarkable how much the music adds to the overall atmosphere of the game.




The dustiest menu of this upgrade was the Colony Rating, so it really deserves an all around makeup. New colors and functions. A division is now called "Commodities and Capital" and counts the liquid capital of a company and also the market values of its buildings there and includes them appropriately in the share value.



What should not be missing in the game development is that one of the missions of the story-based campaign needs an update as game features and controls have evolved. This is always a great way to give the mission a refreshing touch.




We delivered this area with a small but crucial weakness in the last update. You couldn't click on the upgrade buttons and couldn't jump directly to the buildings. This is now history and the control has been optimized a lot. The tab for dirt and the condition of the buildings has been split into two separate tabs where you can now also directly initiate a repair or a cleaning.




This button now makes the total number of pollution, building demolitions, incidents with poor quality of life and loss of productivity visible and allows you to jump there directly.




Creating a new game has now become even more goal-oriented and handsome. Some inconsistencies have been fixed and the menu as a whole has been made more attractive.




Now the achievable goals are also visualized on planets. This makes it a visible challenge to drive the success of the missions to perfection.

• Renamed free play to endless game and sandbox to editor

See below for just a sampling of what Nana and the devs have in store for you.

1.3.1 (10939)

This is a small bug fix patch that addresses some issues from the Herzal's Workshop update.

1. BUG FIX - fixed emoji reactions not working in multiplayer.
   
2. BUG FIX - Hell Rush - fixed timer UI getting stuck permanently saying "out of time" if you ran out of time during a round.
   
3. BUG FIX - the card mastery screen in the Logbook now shows the crossed swords attack icon as intended.

Meet the first major update! The list of changes is huge, let's briefly run through the main innovations.

Now customers have a voice, hair on their head and a desire to buy something at the checkout! From now on, they can ask You for a fresh newspaper or a pack of cigarettes. Also, during a pandemic, every customer must wear a mask. If the buyer is not wearing a mask, then you are forbidden to serve him - click on the red button, then the police will deal with the violator.
The products have an expiration date and You need to check it to avoid selling expired products. Overdue items must be put in a return container.
And for players who find the game too simple, we've added a hardmod. In the hard mode, you will not initially have a scanner, the function of showing the money deposited by the buyer and the change. The fines will be higher and the salary will be lower.
At home, you can unlock new skills such as:
-Scanner
- Showing change
- Display of deposited money
- Scanner speed
- Chance of a damaged article
-The speed of scale
- Increased salary
- Reduced fines
- Increased amount of experience gained

+Added the reported missing IDs for Shimmer Orycto
+Added new icons for all remaining status conditions
+Localization updates for some remaining, untranslated texts
+QoL: Added a search bar to the player list that can be used to find players by part of their name, steam ID, or CID
+QoL: Aquatics can now see significantly better under the Ocean, and Semi-Aquatics can now improve their Ocean visibility by talenting into Aqua Affinity

-When True, calculation of group caps (both soft and hard) use all members of a group, regardless of species
-When False, calculation of group caps (both soft and hard) use only members of the group that match the species of the player
+Save Files now save what map the creature was saved on. All creatures from old saves load up with "No_Saved_Map" instead.
-This is code that preps the public save files for the future capability of swapping save files to different maps without having creatures spawn in improper places
-Between now and our map update patch, players need to log onto each creature they have saved. If they do not, when our map update deploys, they will spawn at a random spawn point on the map rather than spawning at their last logout location
+QoL: The Overfed status condition no longer shows up when you fill up on a carcass, and requires 101% or more food to display
+QoL: Shift clicking a player's name on the player list now copies their name and steam ID to the clipboard

+Fixed: Ory's sand attack visual effects now properly apply to the recipient
+Fixed: M_PostProcessing_Feathers now properly enables and disables when velos are around

Just a small maintenance build. Improvements to the new voice message system, improving security of the "Silence" action and few other tweaks.

- Voice message recording will now trim any beginning silence
- Voice message recording will now wait a small amount of time after released, to prevent last segment of the message getting cut off
- Voice message won't be sent if the audio clip is empty (e.g. just silence)
- GlobalRotationToLocal and LocalRotationToGlobal rotation inputs now default to identity quaternion, rather than invalid one (reported by @H3BO3)
- WorldOrb labels will now always point at the local user, rather than nearest (based on report by @H3BO3)
- Dynamic Variables are now immediatelly linked to the space upon creation, preventing issues where multiple instances are created (reported by @Robyn (QueenHidi) and @Zyzyl)

- Merged Japanese, Chinese and Esperanto locale updates by @Melnus
- Merged Russian locale updates by @Shadow Panther

- Silence now persists for user across rejoins to the same session (but not session restarts) (based on report by @Turk)
- Improved Silence security, to avoid users unsilencing themselves, even if they have permission to silence/unsilence other users (based on report by @Rukio)

- Fixed voice messages sometimes not playing (reported by @Veer | Chief Moderation Officer)
- Added extra error checking to audio clip playback to provide more diagnostic information during errors and to break out of potential infinite loops (based on report by @Rukio)
-- This doesn't fix the underling problem, but should prevent Neos from freezing and only cause audio glitches instead

It starts today!

Will we see you there?

With Halloween right around the corner, we’re happy to announce another big content patch! We’ve been toiling away this month on bug fixes and new features that we can’t wait to get your feedback on.

This will include implementing the core work necessary for playing as animals. We'll also be adding more diversity to spawned animals who will roam and live in the world of Stone Rage.

We have a lot planned to keep players engaged as we add even more features.
