Features• Added difficulty options when starting the game. Effect on game balance hasn\'t been thoroughly tested, so experiment with them at your own risk. ContentNew structures:• Large construction office• Large conveyored stockpile• Large stockpile• Massive pressure vessel• Park• RestaurantNew technologies:• Ecosystem maintenance• Large crew organisationUX• Improved the notification pin informing about lack of schools - it shows when capacity is about to run out and not only for basic schools, but higher education too.• Resource production tooltip in mines shows estimated time to deposit depletion.• Services, stores and clinics show a local notification when they\'re getting overloaded by demand.• Palm oil is no longer counted towards food reserves in status bar if its consumption is not allowed by law.Technical• Adjusted contrast and saturation during night scenes to make them look more night-like.Balance• Ores can be stored in silos.Fixes• Crash when the game attempts to autosave if there\'s an empty folder named autosave in the save directory.• Random crash related to model rendering. Hotfix. Exact cause was not found.• Colonists could enter buildings through unfinished units, then complain about lack of life support.• If a central structure with units was demolished before the units, the units were deleted with it, losing all their resources. The central structure now waits before it\'s deleted.• Tools that switched overlays (like survey or landscaping) didn\'t switch back to their overlay if another overlay was activated and deactivated during their use.• Some saved enabled overlays that were re-enabled when the game was loaded didn\'t properly activate their own toggles.• Exploration could\'ve been queued beyond the edge of the map.

Technical• Added support for any aspect ratio, be it ultrawide, 4:3 or anything else.• Colonists no longer use buses if they\'d save less than an hour of walking. This is to make the bus system less overloaded and take bus intervals more into account.• Waste water and carbon dioxide created from colonists\' water and oxygen usage are now always stored in the life support provider the oxygen and water were used from. This significantly improves load balancing of life support facilities and dramatically lowers the amount of water that has to be carried between them.• It\'s no longer possible to explore sectors diagonally.• Areas around the starting ship and cargo ships are now guaranteed to be traversable.• Too many construction workers were sent to another site if a site was close to finishing and they had too low productivity. Now their productivity is taken into account, ensuring that the site does finish the next hour.• Construction workers with 0 productivity could be sent alone to finish a construction site, never finishing it. Now more workers are sent in this case.Balance• Doubled the time before a structure needs maintenance. This should make cargo resources last longer and allow construction workers to focus on other tasks.• Lowered number of colonists in stasis from 1500 to 1200.Increased apartment space:• Apartment Multiplex: 5 -> 6• Communal House: 6 -> 8• Duplex: 7 -> 8• Small Apartment Multiplex: 4 -> 5• Tenement Multiplex: 4 -> 5• Townhouse: 5 -> 6• Triplex: 6 -> 7• Lowered the number of workers in Medical Education Unit to bring it in line with other education buildings.• Greatly increased graduation rates for higher education and tweaked which expertise students choose.• Increased amount of resources stored in Mining Drills and Shuttles for their internal life support.Fixes• Crash when loading a save that was saved with whitespace at the beginning of its name.• Crash when debug deleting a building with workers inside.• Crash when keeping a bus in a bus line with no bus stops.• Rare crash related to local notifications.• Rare crash when the game was loaded while the running game had bus lines in it.• Families that lived together had extreme reluctance to moving to another house, even if it was significantly better for them.• Colonists didn\'t properly move their belongings (consumer goods) when moving houses, leaving them for the next person to move in.• Malfunctioning structure started working again after reload, only showing that it\'s malfunctioning.• Maintenance was logged as repair in game log.• Vehicle that lost assignment to logistics office interrupted its job, never finishing it or giving it to another vehicle.
