Alpha v0.21 release notes


Helixteus 3 Alpha v0.21 (6 Oct 2021)


- Dimension resets. These have the potential to break the game even harder than universe properties, so go have fun while they're still new. For now, mathematics, physics, engineering and dimensional power are partially implemented

- Improved battle with new weapon characteristics and animations

- Import/export saves

- New science: automated greenhouses. This means passive income for metals (but also passive cellulose drain, so don't run out of it!)

- QoL stuff: 1) Holding shift to select all buildings of the same type updates the tooltip to show the total production of the selected buildings. 2) upgrade panel reworked in a way to reduce the amount of clicking and typing. 3) shift G shortcut for GFs, SEs and SCs

- Rewrote how the game is saved. Consequences: 1) Cave data is now separate from main.hx3, so main.hx3 will no longer explode in size after going on a cave mining spree. 2) Updates that don't break saves will be more common (hopefully)

- Reworked how enemies spawn, so there's no longer always 12 enemies per planet after a certain difficulty level

- Reduced the number of stages of space elevators from 4 to 2

- No longer possible to own more than 500 probes at once

- General polishing: replaced a few paint graphics with better ones, and added new icons

- Redrew the title screen for the 3rd time

- Balanced GSes yet again. They are notably cheaper in mythril now

- Dark energy now also influences FM, and scs far away have more dark energy than before

- Huge stars in battle are less bright, so your eyes don't get wrecked when playing at night

- "get2ndship", "get3rdship", "get4thship" commands to get those ships right away, and an "addshipxp" command to add level or weapon XP ("addshipxp" documentation can be found in the "commands.txt" file in the HX3 Github repo)

- A button in settings that lets you reset all the tooltips you've hidden
