0.25.0 is a major update released on December 23rd 2023. It adds a new PvP multiplayer game mode called Build & Battle, new medium and large Hyperdrives, and changes how the Missile & Mine Launcher blueprint technology is purchased.
Changelog
Additions
- New PvP multiplayer game mode: "Build & Battle". Played over several rounds, competitors build or upgrade their ship using a randomly limited selection of parts and then battle against the other players.
- Added Medium and Large Hyperdrives that can store more hyperium and boost jump efficiency in a larger radius.
Improvements
- Split the Launcher blueprint technology into four, one for each type of munition (H.E., E.M.P., Nuke, Mine). Existing saves that have already unlocked the Missile Launcher will now receive all four munition blueprint techs for free.
Modding
- Modding: Career mode techs now support multiple techs unlocking the same part.
- Modding: Career mode techs now support unlocking doors and individual UIToggle choices.
- Modding: Rules files now support the old Mac OS style of line endings.
- Modding: Mods that add blueprint techs with the Missile Launcher tech as a prerequisite will now act as if all four launcher munitions are prerequisites. It is recommended that mod authors update their mods to use the new techs as prerequisites if different behavior is desired.
- Modding: Unlike Career mode, Build & Battle has an explicit whitelist of parts that don't require tech purchases to unlock. This will prevent modded parts from being automatically buildable; those parts must now be added to the whitelist or be given purchasable techs by the mod.
