This game update adds an optional new way for players connecting to your servers to download the scenario's SharedData folder.
Using this new method could reduce the number of disconnection messages and other issues related with players connecting to servers and greatly reduce the download time for some players.
See details here: https://empyriononline.com/threads/v1-11-7-new-shareddata-to-cloud-method.102408/

Misc:

• Temporarily removed all combat sites based on feedback. Replaced with empty space sectors for now. They might be added back later or remain permanently removed.

This updates Reforged Eden to be compatible with the latest Empyrion game update.
As a reminder: As with any game update, there may be new game bugs introduced with this game update.
Game bugs cannot be fixed within the scenario, and should be reproduced and reported using a vanilla save game following the process on the official forums.
If you believe it is a scenario issue or are not sure, please follow the reporting process linked on the workshop to search for the issue on GitHub and report it if not already reported. If you are playing on a server, please speak with an admin on your server.
Reports that are not made on GitHub won't be responded to.
A new save game for this update should not be required, but it is probably a good idea due to changes in the block config and fixes that only apply to new saves.
