Alpha v0.25 release notes

Helixteus 3 Alpha v0.25 (4 Dec 2022)

A big update! Existing saves won't be compatible with this version, but hopefully the amount of new and modified features is worth starting over for.

- Removed superclusters layer, universes now contain 1000 clusters
- No more manual collecting! Various resource production buildings no longer have a 2nd upgrade path. CBD's 2nd path bonus replaced by "overclock bonus"
- There is now an energy cap, and a new building to increase it: batteries
- Dyson spheres and MMEs also increase energy/mineral cap
- Caves now have debris, both decorational and as minable obstacles
- Drills and wormholes now have floor limits. The first tier can drill/teleport up to floor 8. Added higher tier drills/wormholes that can drill/teleport further
- Laser seeking enemies rover enhancement nerfed (lasers change angle slower)
- Added new rover enhancements for protecting against lava and reducing movement penalities
- Space agriculture overhauled. It is automated right from the beginning with greenhouses, and different lakes (H2O, methane etc.) now give different bonuses instead of being a requirement for specific plants
- "Chemistry" and "Biology" are now available to spend your DRs on, to change phase diagrams of lakes and to buff plant yield and lake bonuses
- Added a new bonus in Physics to buff the influence of magnetic field strength to make hotter stars more common (=> more powerful auroras). Without this, finding class Z stars would really be impossible...
- Clusters are now also characterized by their element richness (every planet in that cluster contains much more of one or more elements, like xenon)
- "Universe value" removed, it was way too OP
- Added a ship drive that instantly teleports ships anywhere using plutonium (and removed the 2 drives that come after Ne/Xe drives)
- Green/blue/purple helix cores give much more XP, but are found in higher difficulty caves. Basically, they're much more "compact"
- Added several new achievements (one of which basically indicates you've seen everything the game has to offer)
