Alpha v0.20 and v0.20.1 release notes

Helixteus 3 Alpha v0.20 (7 Aug 2021)

 - Discover other universes with triangulum probes. You'll be able to customize the new universe with 10* different sliders. Lots of things to experiment with! (though I advise against moving the time speed slider to something like 50)

 - Improved visuals (some of which are toggleable in settings): UI, stars, lasers etc.

 - Buffed PKs - AMNs and SPRs have a 2nd upgrade path that reduces energy costs

 - "Send all" button for probes - Made higher tier metals rarer in caves (not in mining) and more valuable. This encourages other ways of obtaining metals, like farming and with AMNs/SPRs. - Titanium and platinum rarities and values switched

 - Rover gemstone components (armor, wheels, container) buffed

 - Fighters conquer systems much quicker (but also much more expensive in energy)

 - Cluster collect all - New science: advanced metal manipulation. This allows you to make nanocrystal with Si, O and Na atoms, and mythril with W, Os and Ta atoms. A great way to convert excess atoms into money.

 - You can now have more than 1 save at a time

 - Settings panel now divided into tabs * The antimatter slider doesn't do anything yet, so don't spend your precious probe points there

Helixteus 3 Alpha v0.20.1 (20 Aug 2021)

 - Overlay panel rearranged a bit to fit the new "Hide out-of-range objects" checkbox

 - Destroying buildings that represent a non-negligible amount of your total money earned now gives a confirmation

 - Fixed some light issues in caves

 - Dropdowns look a little better

 - Nerf manual mining a bit

 - No hard cap for star system sizes, but a soft cap of 30 planets per system is implemented. Also reduced the effect of dark matter on system size. Now to find a 500-planet star system, the galaxy would need to have around 60G dark matter

 - Gravitational constant (G) affects planet size less (which decreases the effect of G on gas giant spawn rates)

- When loading saves, it is now clearer whether the save is compatible or not with the current game version
