Summary
Megatech Customization & Balance
This update introduces a suite of new Custom Game options specifically for Megatech content, allowing players to tune recipe complexity, print speeds, and unique structure behaviors like plant growth rates or orbital gravity.
Significant Recipe Reworks
Responding to community feedback regarding high entry costs, the developers have slashed resource requirements for several major structures. The Intermodal Terminal and various stages of the Biodome and Museum have seen their costs reduced by as much as 60-70% in some cases, making these late-game projects significantly more accessible.
Gameplay Improvements & Fixes
The Biodome's Mega Oxygenator has received a substantial buff, now scaling its suffocation reduction up to 100% based on plant count. Additionally, over 40 bugs have been addressed, ranging from multiplayer stability and mission rewards to specific Megastructure placement issues and an infinite oxygen exploit.
