Updated to 1.0.8 – Better early game pacing, balance changes, bug fixes

Hello everyone!

We’ve just released the 1.0.8 update. This update addresses early game pacing, which was a common complaint of some of our customers. We think it’s much better now. Remember that if you want to play a faster or slower game you can always tweak the production and research speeds for yourself and your opponents in the New Game screen.

The update also adds new balance changes, UI text and tooltip revisions, AI improvements, bug fixes and more.

Compatibility note: The saves from 1.0.7 may be compatible with this new version to some degree, but we strongly recommend that you start new games to benefit from the update improvements and fixes fully. If you find any issues please let us know. You can check the bug reporting guidelines here.

interstellar_space_genesis_1.0.6_large_v2.jpg

Hello everyone.

Today we released a smaller update (1.0.6) that fixed several bugs and added a few balanced changes, namely stronger orbital stations and late game technologies are now more costly, among other tweaks.

The update is available on Steam, Humble Bundle and itch.io.

Compatibility note: The saves from 1.0.5 are fully compatible with this new version, so you can keep playing as usual and you will benefit from all the bug fixes and changes. Note that one of the changes requires new games to be created to take effect, as described in the release note below.
