• Wind turbines have been overhauled. Now activates via dialogue by interacting with a wind turbine after placing it. Now activates based on planet type rather than functioning like a crop. No longer needs to be placed on wind turbine base blocks. Updated models and block size.
  
• Wind turbine bases have been marked as depricated and will be removed in a future game update. Please remove them from any bases in existing saves and from your blueprints. If they are currently supporting wind turbines remember to remove the wind turbines first!
  
• Adjusted crafting recipe and CPU cost of wind turbines to take into account no longer needing a wind turbine base.
  
• [Wind turbines now function on most planet types where you would expect them to work such as temperate, arid, desert, snow, ocean, etc. Wind turbines won't work on planet types that typically have extreme atmospheric conditions, thin or no atmospheres, not enough wind, or corrosive environments.
  Please leave any feedback if you find any planet or moon types where you think wind turbines should work but they don't or vice versa.

• Added telepads for capital vessels and bases. These can be linked to teleport you to another telepad on the same structure. Unlocked in the tech tree after pentaxid tank.
  
• Removed the last of the worm style SSOR ore deposits from planets and moons. (new star systems only)
  
• Added checks to many dialogues to display a warning message if the local structure cannot be found. This should prevent multiple issues from happening. (thanks to RexXxuS)
  
• Added Schematic Unlocks tech tree tab with most of the schematic crafting recipes to easily see which ones you have already unlocked.
  
• Added new Bandit space drones which are easier than standard space drones. Replaced old Warlord space drones with the new Bandit space drones for standard orbits and in habitable asteroid fields. A bigger space drone rework will be needed later. (new star systems only)
  
• Added bloody zirax and radiation immunity shot to random start if starting equipment is set to easy. (new save games only)
  
• Removed a very hardy plant that should not have appeared on volcanic moons. (new star systems only)
  
• Misc fixes.

• Fixed error in railgun shield damage multiplier.
  
• Updated descriptions of several deco blocks.

• Reduced distance between the Badlands - Wastelands and Solitude - East Rim jump gates to reduce the pentaxid cost to 1500 to allow them to be used. (new save games only)
  
• Fixed missing starting portal POI for the O random starting planet. new saves only, but server admins should be able to fix it in an existing save by following the process on the GitHub report here: https://github.com/RavienGaming/Reforged-Eden-2/issues/519
  
• Changed space drones that used the bomber drone model back to standard space drone models in an attempt to fix issues with using their weapon.
  
• Fixed missing T and U random start teleporter keys.
  
• Geothermal Generators are now activated using the new ReplaceBlocks dialogue function and no longer need a core sample drilled.
  
• Added schematic for Phalanx Battery (Heavy) as random loot from encrypted schematics.
  
• Misc fixes.

• Reduced reload times on fixed medium and heavy weapons to match light weapons' reload times. Damage adjusted to keep DPM consistent.
  
• Enhanced some weapon bonuses per tier (e.g. CV cannons do more damage to weapons per tier instead of a fixed 25%)
  
• Increased the HP of HV/SV Armor blocks, windows, doors and cockpits.
  
• Fixed inconsistency in medium HV/SV Shield Charger reducing shield capacity by the wrong amount.
  
• Teleporters can now be upgraded/downgraded with a multitool.
  
• Added Advanced Pentaxid Tank for HV/SV.
  
• Bugfixes

Hotfix: Added missing Advanced Pentaxid Tank icon. No build change.

For servers the missing file is: SharedData\Content\Bundles\ItemIcons\PentaxidTankT2.png
You can simply copy that file into the same location on the scenario on the server.

Hotfix: Updated ItemsConfig.ecf (was missing updates from RG2)

Jump gates are a new feature being added to Reforged Eden 2. They allow a capital vessel to travel between two gates without consuming pentaxid.
To use them, you need to be flying a capital vessel equipped with an advanced warp drive and advanced pentaxid tank filled with refined pentaxid. You will also need a science station.
Search the galaxy map for star type JumpGate and warp to the jump gate sector inside one of those systems, approach the jump gate, then use your science station.
There are also labels on the galaxy map showing the positions of the jump gates.

There are currently 5 pairs of jump gates being added and each one needs to be repaired before it can be used. More may be added later based on feedback, for example to access satellite galaxies.
Server admins can configure this feature in the Project Eden settings menu in-game.
You can find more details in the Empyriopedia.
Jump gates will only show up in a new save game.
Here is a video of using a jump gate.

Thanks to Ente, AllNamesUsed, mikezach, and scawoosha for contributing jump gate blueprints.

A new random start option has been added as the last option in the starting location. (Hint: you can right click to go backwards in the list)
Choosing this option will start you in a hub where you will be assigned to one of 20+ possible random planets or moons in hidden systems throughout the galaxy.

If you're playing multiplayer you can share teleporter keys with your friends to meet up on the same planet.
You might find yourself on a tropical paradise or a freezing ice moon, in the middle of Zirax territory or on a dead world.

These planets have not been configured to be starting planets, so progression and survival is not guaranteed and there will be no rescue. Good luck.
This option is only available in a new save game.

Several updates have been made to the galaxy. Many of these only show up in a new save game.

• Added 20,000 extra background stars to the galaxy. These do not show up on the map and you cannot warp to them. They are only decoration for the in-game starfield background to make it more realistic/cooler looking by having more stars. (new save games only)
  
• Added P and P-P class star systems to several star clusters from the latest Empyrion update. Hot, young proto star systems with lots of lava planets and asteroid fields. (new save games only)
  
• Added new Proto Orbit to P class systems. Dangerous, resource rich orbits with lots of enemy factions.
  
• Added L3 class brown dwarf star systems from the latest Empyrion update. (new save games only)
  
• Added new PSR, PSR2, and PSR2-PSR2 class pulsar star systems. (new save games only)
  
• Added several new minor star regions and satellite galaxies. (new save games only)
  
• Slightly reduced random nebula count. (new save games only)
  
• Misc adjustments to the galaxy. (new save games only)
  
• Re-oriented galactic cardinal direction markers (north, south, east, west) to align with coordinates. (new save games only)
  
• Added labels to the positions of jump gates on the galaxy map. (new save games only)
  
• Added new radiated asteroid fields to P, N, and PSR class star systems and their variations. These are pentaxid rich asteroid fields with environmental hazards. (new star systems only)
  
• Increased spawn distance between Zirax patrol vessels in Legacy asteroid fields in a (likely futile) effort to reduce the chances of them colliding with each other. (new star systems only)
  
• Added variation of habitable orbits with no Zirax presence but less natural resources. (new star systems only)
  
• M-Tesch class systems are now guaranteed to have at least 1 barren planet with Tesch on it. (new star systems only)
  
• Slightly increased chance of temperate planets in G class star systems. (new star systems only)
  
• Fixed missing Zirax sentry compound in orbits.
  
• Added Illegal Mining Operation to proto system orbits.

The 1.13 update of Empyrion has many new planets and moons but most of them are still marked as either WIP or sketches so I'm not adding them to RE2 yet.

• Added Target Painter for ships. Works like a turret, but paints its current target with a targeting icon to help you identify targets. Only a visual effect.
  
• Expedition: Sea of Silence can now be started and completed. Will require a PDA update for single player save games. If the Observatory 27 playfield was already visited and the POI still has the under construction sign on it you may need to wipe the Obersavory 27 playfield to update the POI. (requires pda update and possibly wiping Observatory 27)
  
• Removed requirement to do the Project Eden prologue before starting expeditions. (requires PDA update, might not be retroactive)
  
• Updated Micro Jump Drive dialogue to make more accurate jumps according to the facing direction of the piloted ship. (Thanks to Garaman and NotOats, it won't teleport you above where your ship was aiming anymore)
  
• Reduced mass and volume of pyrolusite and chromite ore.
  
• hematite, Ilmenite, Pyrolosite, and Chromite ore now uses the standard resource hitpoints. (makes them faster to mine)
  
• Converted /* style comments to # style comments and replaced tabs with spaces in the Project Eden sections of the configs to help with parsers.
  
• Adjusted damage for environmental radiation damage turrets.
  
• Possible fix for Tier 1 Bandit ambush (drones) not spawning. (requires PDA update)
  
• Made changes to Legacy Phages as they are much harder to take out than they should be due to this bug: https://empyriononline.com/threads/inconsistent-weapon-damage-against-moving-ships-00069.99606/. Reduced shield from 50,000 to 30,000. Reduced speed from 90 to 80. (requires PDA update)
  
• Added diamonite crystal which gives raw diamonds when harvested.
  
• Updated lava tubes on volcanic moons and venus-like barren planets with diamonite crystals and updated Empyriopedia section on raw diamonds. (new star systems only)
  
• Updated scenario description in-game. The game bug affecting changing difficulty settings of custom scenarios has now been fixed as of the latest Empyrion update.
