Hotfix to stop IDA from stealing your unlock points on Dread when she levels you to level 4 in the intro mission.

---

Current testing needs:
All starting planets and progression through the starting systems.
Planetary and gas giant orbits in habitable, cold, and hot star systems.
Asteroid fields in habitable and cold systems.
Planet types: Temperate, Brooding Temperate, Temperate Rainforest, Strange Temperate, Temperate Plateau, Swamp, Mire.
General combat and building.

Starting planets:

• Updated all starter planets for survival RE2 compatibility (POIs, starting equipment, etc). More tweaking will be needed in the future.
  
• Added Tallodar back as a medium sized temperate starting planet. Meant as an alternative to Akua with no missions or story POIs.
  
• Updated creative start on Tallodar, Omicron, Roggery, and Ningues.
  
• Updated starter planet selection preview images for dedicated servers for all planets. Please let me know how they look now.
  
• Lowered temperature of Crashsite on Omicron by 10 degrees.
  
• Replaced sniper patrols with minigun patrols for rogue starters except near Promethium deposits.
  
• Updated starter mission on Dread to be more immersive. Following it will now give the player enough xp to reach level 12 (needed for SV warp drives).

Planet updates:
The following planets have been updated: Temperate, Brooding Temperate, Temperate Rainforest, Strange Temperate, Temperate Plateau, Swamp, Mire.
You can find these planets randomly throughout the galaxy. Please give any feedback on POI spawn density, etc.
Important notes:
The new drone base setup is currently bugged and has been reported so I am using the old one for now. Until the new one is fixed, it is not possible to give each faction their own faction themed drones. And even when it is fixed that may not be possible. This is a game bug/limitation I can do nothing about.
So yes, Polaris will still be guarded by Polaris faction Zirax drone types. Again, there is absolutely nothing I can do about this for now, and possibly not ever.
There is a bug with patrol vessels where sometimes they will spawn without a faction. This needs to be reproduced and reported in a vanilla save. Preferrably by somebody else as I already spent about 8 hours testing and reporting game bugs today and am burnt out on it.
POIs are definitely a work in progress. Many new ones will need to be made to fit the different planets (for example Talon stilt villages and pirate barges for swamp planets, etc).
For now POI setup will feel light and generic as I have removed most old vanilla and RE1 POI spawning from the updated planets and have only a limited set of generic RE2 POIs to spawn from.

• Updated POI configs with new RE2 POI groups. Removed all old POIs.
  
• Added temporary placeholder POIs for POIs that aren't yet updated or made to aid in playfield config setup.
  
• Updated drone spawning. Now uses Zirax hoverdrones and gunships.
  
• Added a Zirax patrol vessel guarding the Zirax drone base.
  
• Added Xenu patrol vessels that patrol the planet in Zirax galactic territory. NOTE: this is currently bugged and sometimes the patrol vessels will spawn without a faction.

Misc:

• Resource asteroids in asteroid fields (updated ones) now have a 3 day POI regeneration timer instead of 12 hours.
  
• Updated poor quality asteroid fields in cold systems. Temporarily removed all other asteroid field types from cold systems.
  
• Added Tungsten and Cobalt-Copper asteroids to asteroid fields.
  
• Changed rock texture to snow texture on ice asteroids in asteroid fields.
  
• Generic asteroid fields are now only found in colonists or neutral territory. In the future faction owned asteroid fields will be added back in.
  
• Updated gas giant moon orbits.
  
• Fixed broken Palladium deposits.
  
• Increased chance for Trader faction to appear in neutral territory from 5% to 25%.
  
• Increased chance for Xenu faction to appear in Zirax territory to 100%.
  
• Added temporary placeholder POIs for new RG2 POI groups. These will spawn until updated or new POIs can be made and are being added to aid in POI spawn setup.
  
• Hid Second Chances and Fuel Delivery missions. They will be replaced by something else later on in RE2 development.

• Added more Xenu, Epsilon and Rados Planet Deco POIs.
  
• Changed HV drills to drill mode 0 (will give XP, but excessive drill usage will cause FPS issues)
  
• SV mechanical drills further reduced in mass by 200kg.
  
• SV laser drills reduced in mass by 600kg.
  
• Overhauled Flamethrower. (This is so much fun now. It sets EVERYTHING on fire)
  
• The return of the HV Flamethrower. This is a Medium weapon.
  
• Corrected HP of the non-retractable HV/SV laser turret.
  
• Adjusted the damage multipliers of the Plasma Sword vs Doors, Grates, Sentry Guns and Devices so it can breach doors with 1 or 2 swings.
  
• Sources of Carbon Substrate have been replaced with Graphite at the same ratio as iron, copper and silicon.
  
• Graphite can be crafted into Carbon Substrate in the same way and ratio that iron, copper and silicon can be made into ingots.
  
• Crushed Stone can be crafted into graphite in the same way that iron ore can be made from crushed stone.
  
• Marketprices for graphite-based items and blocks adjusted for new values.
  
• Platinum Plates can be smelted down in a Furnace into Platinum Ore.
  
• Removed April Fools content.

Playfield level normalization:
Playfield levels for all playfields are being normalized for a more consistent experience.
This is because the only thing that playfield level changes is the health and damage of NPCs and the strength of base attacks and space defense reinforcements.
Because playfield level has no effect on the blocks or weapons of a POI or patrol vessel or on any loot, it never made sense to attack high level POIs as it would just make the foot combat harder with no extra reward.
Previously, the level of a playfield was based on its location relative to the center of the faction territory it was in, or set to level 1 if outside of a faction territory. Some playfields, such as plasma planets or certain starting planets, were also given an override to set them to a specific level.
This would scale NPC health and damage from 100% to 250%, a huge variance for no additional loot.
After this change, almost all playfields are now set to a random level between 1 and 3, resulting in NPC health and damage scaling between 100% and about 133%.
Most starting planets and playfields in the starting systems are set to level 1.
There may be some set higher in the future, such as faction homeworlds.

Update to remove old playfield files to fix the ancient warp gate.

---

At this point Akua, Omicron, and Roggery and their moons and orbits are set up as starting planets with the new decoration system and the new Reforged Galaxy 2 missions.
Habitable and Cold orbits are setup and ready for testing.
Please leave any feedback on the missions, biomes, and difficulty on these three starting planets, or on the random habitable and cold orbits.

Misc:

• Updated market pricing for PE CV ship ammo.
  
• Removed Swarm Launcher and Thermal Lance for now until they can be properly added later.
  
• Removed more old playfields.
  
• Doubled Omicron's atmospheric O2 percentage to improve efficiency of water condensers.
  
• Updated POI spawns for cold orbits.
  
• Updated starting items for creative start on Akua.
  
• Added shuttle blocks to PE space factories.
  
• Skeletons on planets now drop bones when harvested.
  
• Added new test for the Ancient Warp Gate. To test, use console command sector 'Andromeda to Decay Warp Gate' and then approach the warp gate in a ship.
  Once you get near, a waypoint will appear in the middle of the warp gate. Simply fly straight through the warp gate and hit your warp ship button as you are flying through it to warp to the other side (you'll have 3 seconds to warp once you fly through the gate).
  Requires an advanced warp drive and a full tank of refined pentaxid. Please do not test anything else about the ancient warp gate except for this new warp feature as nothing else about it is setup yet and it's only one way right now.
  For a video of what this looks like: https://youtu.be/uZZJHa0ge4I?si=zsJiZkEqWqNOu51X

• Fixed Talon Chief giving the wrong time for the UCH Fleet.

Just did an update to add a shuttle test block for planet bases: Eden_ShuttleDockPlanet
This will call down a decorative shuttle from orbit to land on the platform for a short time, then take off again.
Note: please do not use these test shuttle blocks in blueprints as they will be renamed once they are properly added.
