Wormholes?
Just saw mention of this on the update notes. There are wormholes now?

Anyone got a screenshot just outta curiosity?

There always were, sadly it's just referring to the white warp lines (longest/unlimited distance)

Unless I'm missing something... the multiple solar system mechanic has been added to the random default scenario so I might be wrong about that.

Yeah, I am assuming there is something connecting the new multiple solar systems. I have a scenario generated with multiple solar systems but I haven't explored it enough yet to find any teleports, portals or wormholes, but they are in the game, so if they have made it so the generator can include them in a randomly generated scenario, that really would be tops.

It now states ... "Using wormholes now costs the full amount of AU traveled (1 AU = 1 Pentaxid; before: capped to 25 Pentaxid)" which unfortunately will cripple a lot of maps that had long jumps and are now limited to the fuel in one tank. Eden is one such case.

And of course the obvious, there really is no such thing as a worm hole any more- it's just another route.

Actually there's some good news on that front too, I guess they saw that problem coming.

It also states the following:

"Increased Pentaxid Tank content to 500 (before: 200) to increase AU warp range for games under mass/volume limitation, reduced mass of Pentaxid crystal"

That's 150% increase in tank size plus an unspecified reduction in the pentaxid's mass; should be more than enough to cover all routes/situations.

The pent fuel tank was expanded to hold 500 units to compensate. So it shouldn't cripple anything. It will just mean careful choices and planning expeditions rather than casual warping just anywhere with 10 minute stops to pick up a few things.

Had to double check, server that I'm on is still limited to 200, which is useless for a 379AU jump. But validated in creative is should be 500. Thanks.

This means the server is using an outdated config.ecf file and they need to update it.
