Helixteus 3 Alpha v0.25.3 (14 Dec 2022)


- After researching plutonium drive, you can now choose between standard drive and plutonium drive

- After using plutonium drive, your ship now appears on the planet as well as the conquer all button (without having to refresh the view)

- Made phase diagram editor slightly prettier

- Fixed bug where CBS discounts don't apply to Matrioshka brains

- Number of hypergiants now scale correctly with the gravitational constant

- Class Z stars now properly spawn

- Fixed a tooltip display error when selecting buildings with shift


Helixteus 3 Alpha v0.25.4 (21 Dec 2022)

Lots of small changes and fixes, nothing really new

- Level 1 dimensional power now gives various perks to make your life slightly easier. Physics/bio/chem is now unlocked at level 2, and cave/battle time thing moved to level 4

- Fixed ancient XP glitch where mass upgrading x buildings gives x times more XP than what it should (100x more XP when mass-upgrading 100 buildings!) To compensate, building auto-speedup unlocked at level 28 instead of 30

- Giant, supergiant and hypergiant stars now spawn using a new formula, similar to how debris size in caves is calculated. The number of stars formula in a system has also been similarly changed. -a*ln(x)+1 is a pretty op formula, where x is a random number between 0 and 1 and a a constant

- Dark matter in galaxies formula changed (yes, -a*ln(x)+1 as well!) to make more extreme values possible

- Dark energy no longer straight up multiplies dark matter, instead it makes more extreme values of dark matter more likely

- Mineral/energy/science infinite research now also affects megastructures. To compensate, their SP costs grow slightly faster

- System conquer all energy costs now depend on the closest and the furthest unconquered planet, and whether you have FTL/intergalactic drive research (and speed of light universe property). Previously, the energy costs only depended on the distance between the furthest planet (whether conquered or not) and the star, and nothing else

- Speed of light universe property now also reduces fighter and probe travel costs

- Volcano probabilities adjusted to make them more common around lower-temperature stars, and the gravitational constant G now actually affects their abundance/power

- Energy storage gigastructure stores a lot more energy

- Power plant unlocked after building 1 mineral extractor instead of 5

- You can now see how much time is left when using glass factory/steam engine

- Fixed chemistry bonus not saving bug (it was a visual bug, actually)

- Attempt to fix boring machines sometimes not working

- Tooltips visually behave slightly better, especially when trying to mass-use items on buildings

- Planet temperature is also displayed in Kelvin
