STARVATION MECHANIC
- The developers have updated the way the starvation mechanic works in IXION.
- The crew will continue to eat at set intervals, with meal cycles occurring every 5 cycles.
- If they are not provided with food now, they will begin to starve.
- After missing three meals, the starving population will progressively die.
- A crew member will now recover from starvation after eating a single meal.
- Previously, for starvation to resolve, a crew member would need to consume as many meals as they had missed.
- Additionally, rather than waiting for up to 5 cycles till the next meal cycle, starving crew members can eat at the start of the next cycle in which enough food is available.
- This behavior can be toggled on or off for a Sector from within the Mess Hall’s building panel.
STORY TECHNOLOGIES
- Technologies related to the critical path of the game will now only require time to research, with no associated science point cost.
UI
- Resource Transfer: the dev team implemented a simplified version of the resource transfer UI (the previous settings will still be available as a toggle option)
- Cryonics Center: We Simplified the building’s UI and removed the Sector limit to convey better that the Cryonics Center’s options only determine the destination of the awakened crew and not the type of crew to be woken
VISUALS
- There is a fix where some planets had a graphical issue
- There is a fix on solar panel construction placeholders displaying extremely brightly
CRITICAL
- There is an adjustment where the game could stutter or crash when deleting roads
- Fixed an issue where saving during Edden dialogue in Chapter 4 disabled the Piranesi
- There is a fix on an issue where the VOHLE jump button got stuck post jump
- There is a fix for an issue with starvation not resolving correctly
- The dev team fixed the endless loading issue with save games
- Fixed an issue where certain trust negatives could get stuck and loop endlessly (leading to 0% trust and game over)
- There is a fix where opening events in Chapter 4 resulted in a dimmed screen and no way to resolve the event
