Game Version: 1011166

Bug fixes

• Fixed missing train sounds
  
• Fixed issue with dome/habitat birth timing
  
• Fixes issue where too many colonists would be gathered for transport (elevator and rockets).
  
• Fixed an issue when "Remote Farming" is researched and but there are no stations or domes built on a map (building either will restore the game even without the patch)
  
• Fixed stations not transporting colonists when it or the nearby dome/workplace was completed while on a different map. Should fix existing bugged stations on game load.
  
• Fixed duplicated colonists in station infopanel when SetCommand is called while they are waiting for trains
  
• Fixed issues when colonists are "teleported" to rockets, landers or elevator while in stations or trains
  
• Fixed game hanging under some conditions when colonists use the elevator

Balancing

• Added option to manually make colonists exit trains
  
• Select the train and right click on the colonist icons in the passengers list to get them out of the train. Can be useful if you want them to take their chances walking when the train is stuck on a damaged track.
  
• Increases the number of colonists that can wait for trains at a station
  
• If you notice colonists going home from work by foot or via more distant stations check if the station near the workplace doesn't get full when shifts are ending.
  
• Fixed clogging for station depots
  
• Station depots will try to reserve "desired amount" (DA) for each resource that it can accept from drones and trains. If DA is higher than the total space divided by the number of accepted resources, clogging may still happen but in such case that DA value also becomes a hard cap for each resource.
  
• Changes to balanced mode for crates
  
• If the source depot is in balanced mode (for a resource) and has more it's DA it will try to satisfy the DA of the destination then split the quantity that it may still have over its own DA between the two. If the source has exactly its DA it will send 1 crate of that resource if the target has less than its own DA of it.

Calling all Survivors!

The day has arrived! The 3 new CCPs (Content Creator Packs) have finally arrived, and we're excited to welcome you aboard. The packs will be available separately, or in a "All New In" bundle! You'll be able to change how you play the game with the "Martian Express Pack" created by veteran modders Lucian "LukeH" Hada and Sylvain "Silva" Maupetit. The "Martian Express Pack" allows you to move your colonists and resources between stations facilitating access to far away domes and remote resource deposits. Other outside manned buildings will also be buildable near stations without needing a dome. You can also enjoy the 10 new terrestrial building skins included in "Future Contemporary Cosmetic Pack" by modder Teerapat "Quad Rioters" Kitjawijit while you listen to the 16 new songs from the "Revelation Radio Pack".

Martian Express Pack created by veteran modders Lucian "LukeH" Hada and Sylvain "Silva" Maupetit include:

• Welcome commuters!
  Build your stations anywhere on the map and help your colonists get to work and back. Click on the info panel to see their reason for traveling and make sure that everyone gets their seat. otherwise, they’ll have to wait for the next train - and be frustrated, nobody likes to miss the train.
  
  
• New tracks
  Click and drag to create tracks that connect your stations. Tracks will be elevated allowing your rovers and drones to pass underneath together with power cables, while pipes can cross over them.
  
  
• Same train, different cargo
  Traveling on the red planet has never been safer (and efficient!). Trains will have 2 wagons to transport colonists and resources at the same time. Don't worry: they'll travel on the same track with no risk of collision. Build your trains in the stations, assign them to the connected tracks and watch them go.

The Martian Express pack will be available for a price of 6.99 USD / 6.99 EUR / 5.19 GBP.

Future Contemporary Cosmetic Pack by modder Teerapat "Quad Rioters" Kitjawijit:

• 10 terrestrial building skins to give your colony some added flair.

Game version: 1010784

Balance Changes

• Adjust the Fungal Farm to have higher food production in the underground and lower food production on the surface.
  
• Adjust recon center discovery rate; discovery frequency is now less extreme, with no more multiple events on the same sol or long periods without asteroids. This also fixes recon centers with a low recon per sol not contributing to discoveries.
  
• Reduce oxygen and water consumption for underground domes, to be more in line with surface domes.

Bug Fixes

Game Version: 1010558

Main Focus:
In this second part, we focus on making the underground and asteroids more beneficial for your main colony and build further upon the improvements of Merbold part 1.

• Buried Wonder Upgrades: each Buried Wonder has a new upgrade or building they unlock, which benefits your entire colony (Surface, Underground and Asteroids). The story of each Buried Wonder is also extended to include these upgrades.
  • Players that already (partially) completed buried wonder events still get access to these.
• Rare Anomalies: These are special anomalies that can be found throughout the Underground which each give you a choice between multiple powerful rewards.
  
• New Breakthrough Techs: 6 new breakthrough techs have been added that can be found on the Surface, in the Underground and on Asteroids.
  
• 2 New Commander Profiles, The Spelunker and The Space Miner: The Spelunker gives easier access to the Underground and makes colonists regain Sanity while in the Underground instead of losing sanity. The Space Miner has an easier time getting to asteroids.

Gameplay Improvements:

• Edit both sides of the Cargo UI: In the elevator cargo UI, you can now set requests or minimums for both sides of the elevator in the same screen. You no longer first have to switch maps to configure the other side.
  
• The Cargo UI shows an explanation on how auto mode works for Asteroid Landers and the Elevator.
  
• Waste Rock can now be transported.
  
• Truly Universal Depot: The Universal Depot now includes the DLC resources, depending on which DLCs you have; Seeds if you have Green Planet and Exotic Minerals if you have Below & Beyond.
  
• Asteroid Landers now visibly take off when they automatically launch at the very last second when an Asteroid goes out of range.
  
• Changed the Recon & Expansion tech tree order; Underground Domes and the Recon Center are unlocked earlier, while the Drone Hub Extender is unlocked later.
  
• Rovers and drones loaded into the Lander Rocket drop any resources they were still carrying.
  
• Tunnels, Wonders and Food and Mystery depots can no longer be refabbed.
  
• Added an asteroid specific skin for the RC Dozer.

Balance Changes:

• Increase the odds of a Recon Center finding an asteroid, especially while you have no asteroids.
  
• Decrease the odds of Recon discovery events, and each event can only occur once.
