Alpha v0.26 release notes


Helixteus 3 Alpha v0.26 (31 Jan 2023)


- Added many unique non-buildable non-upgradable buildings that can spawn on any planet (that are not too hot), functional or broken, that can provide various bonuses. If broken, they can be instantly repaired with money. These buildings have a tier level. Each increase in tier represents a huge increase in bonuses, rarity and repair costs. Their chance of spawning is higher in ancient star systems (i.e. low star temperatures), and their tier is higher the further you go from your starting cluster. Also, most unique buildings work on terraformed planets too!
- The home planet spawns with 2 unique buildings (initially broken) that can help you conquer your first planet
- All stars and gas giants have a small chance of spawning with a broken megastructure around it, that can be repaired for money
- New "Age of the universe" property that multiplies unique building and broken megastructure spawn rates, as well as an increased chance of higher unique building tiers, but also changes the star class distribution
- Dimension power level 5 gives extra probe points to all universes
- Lots of rebalancing to dimension stuff: buffed most things in math, and nerfed biology
- New gigastructure: galaxy-killer. Basically a planet-killer, but for galaxies
- Energy and research gigastructure output is now affected by magnetic field strength and the Stefan-Boltzmann constant (which multiplies star luminosities). All gigastruture output and cost is now also affected by the gravitational constant
- Removed extra planet entry/exit costs from the gravitational constant
- Planet size now also depends on dark matter
- Elementary charge now also multiplies batteries' and DS's energy capacity
- Mineral auto-sell is no longer unlocked right at the start. 2 new sciences: one to bring that feature back (very cheap) and another one that auto-sells while leaving your minerals at max capacity (little more expensive)
- Debris mining speed increased by 50%
- Reduced overall size of debris in caves
- Higher tier helix cores are even more compact
- Negative numbers now format correctly (finally)
- Added Back to menu button (finally)
- Small QoL: selecting buildings with shift will auto-enter the number of selected buildings in the number of items you'll buy in the shop
- 1st path of CBD nerfed (especially at higher levels)
- Greenhouses nerfed (especially at higher levels)
- Batteries slightly buffed (especially at higher levels)
