Release 1.10 (Hotfix 1)

- Fixed the "Gauss drones" having not enough energy to be able to fire.

Release 1.10

- Removed the "FORGIVING" AI flags for the Reassembler faction. AI should now be more thorough once it decide to engage a target.
- Removed "COMMAND" features from "ROOT" type block in an attempt to fix crashing problems. Back to where it started!
- Changed the shape of the following command core blocks: "Assymo" (from "RHOMBUS_36_144" to "ADAPTER45"), "Spinox" (from "RIGHT_TRI" to "TRI") and "Abecedarian" (from "ISOTRI_72" to "SQUARE_HALF"). If one of these core was present in an in-game created blueprint, it will probably cause minor part snapping problems...
- Removed "TELEPORTER" feature from all cores except the "Premature Light Core" and the "Simplex Heavy Core".
- Added two new teleportation block featuring the "TELEPORTER" function. They have increased teleportation range compared to the built-in core variants and the larger version as a low teleport cost of just 1 energy per mass unit.
- Added two new shapes to the "Armor" blocks: "RECT_LONG" and "RECT_LONG_NARROW".
- Added a new shapes to allow better adaptation of rhombus blocks: "ISOTRI 18 - 81". The "Plating" block group as well as the "Crystallite" group feature this new shape in various sizes.
- Added the "BUMPER" feature to the "Harmonized Phonon Deflector" blocks. They are now immune to melee damage. Also reduced their elasticity from 5 to 2 to make them slightly less chaotic.
- Reduced elasticity of "Exo-Chitene" blocks from 2.0 to 1.5.
- Completely reworked "Vectored Thruster" blocks: They now have different actuation speed and range from one group to the other.
- Adjusted the grow rate of "Power Thruster" blocks. Smaller ones rebuild a bit slower but bigger ones rebuild significantly faster.
- Added a smaller size 1 version of the "Ring Pulser" weapon. Also increased projectiles speed, range and firing rate for the larger version.
- Increased longevity of shard projectile launched by "Shard Launcher" to 10 seconds from 5 seconds.
- Tweaked several turret weapon rotating speed. Made some short range defense laser beam rotate quicker but slightly slowed heavier and very powerful cannons.
- Added the missing thruster force parameter for the "Anchor Drone Launcher". They will now move at a less "snailish" pace.
- Tweaked the very powerful "Drone Launcher Theta" (AKA Borg's drones) groups: The larger size 3 variant remain unchanged (mostly) but the size 2 and size 1 points, power generator and lifetime were adjusted to more balanced levels. Also, the launcher for size 2 and 3 is now adequate for their corresponding drone size. No more drone stacked on top of one another!
- Reformatted descriptive tags. Added spacing between section and added a dot at the end of sentences for increased readability.
- More than doubled the regrow rate of "Decoupler" type blocks.
- "Higgs Field Discombobulator" also regrow much faster than before. Their mass is no longer governing regrowth.
- Renamed the "Expultron" beam to "Repulsatron". Stats unchanged.
- Renamed the "Expultron EX" beam to just "Expultron". Stats unchanged.
- Added a third "Shard Launcher" type weapon with a twist: Shard causes no damage on impact but instead perturb the target angular velocity and momentum.
- Reworked "Alcubierre Warp Drive" blocks: Reduced by about half the activation energy cost of the small and medium sized ones and significantly boosted their 'warping' power in an attempt to make them more useful. Also added more textual information for each one.

Release 1.9

- Updated all weapons that now features a Shroud to reflect Arthur's changes in December 29, 2019 update.
- Renamed "Vectored Thruster" to "Stabilizing Thruster".
- Added a new line of "Vectored Thruster" in 4 shapes, 2 sizes. They feature the undocumented "ROTATOR" features and provide multi-directional thrust, independent of the initial block orientation.
- Added a shape descriptor to all hull blocks that did not already had one.

Release 1.8.2

- Fixed "Expultron" cannon barrel visual weirdness.
- Changed elasticity parameter of "Biosynthetic Metagenesis Surface" from the default 0.4 to 0.1 to help with seeds planting.
- Doubled thrust power of the "Mega Thruster" from 1000k to 2000k. Recent changes in other thrusters made this one less interesting so it is back in force!
- Added variant based on the "Expultron": "Ejectron" a more powerful velocity amplifying turreted beam and the "Inpultron" a powerful pulling variant.
- "Exothanum" and "Endoleptium" blocks now have zero elasticity.

- Added new "Inertial Dampeners" blocks. When activated, they consume energy to rectify a ship trajectory.
- Added new "Expultron" long range pushing beam.
- Added new "Alcubierre Warp Drive" blocks. Fun but perhaps not so useful. Drain lots of energy to accelerate at tremendous speeds.

- Renamed "Root" type blocks to "Asteroid Structure Anchor". Also changed shapes and adjusted parameters.
- Added more varieties in sizes and shapes for many different types of hull blocks. Some names and descriptions were tweaked.
- Added an experimental block called "Knonewt(TM). Use with caution as it react chaotically to collisions and impacts.
- Swapped the name of "Sturdy Thruster" and "Durable Thruster" so that they better represent their corresponding characteristics.
- Renamed "Reinforced Thruster" to "Vectored Thruster" and added the "FIN" feature to them.
- Added an artificial mass device block in 3 sizes. Use to increase mass of a ship or station.

Release 1.7

- Reassembler now features 16 different cores each with a different shape. Read "Tips and trick to get started with the Reassemblers" for more information on how this works.
- Added several barebone ships each with a different core shapes. They should spawn near the starting area.
- Changed all standard core blocks to have uniform parameters. Changed "Durability" to 0.5 from 0.2.
- Changed the name of the nonagonal shaped core to "Light Core" and reduced mass to exactly 5 from 12.28 and health to exactly 25 from 41. Reduced generator capacity to 300 from 500 but increased regeneration twofold.

- Added "Penrose Zero" and "Penrose One" scale 2 blocks and set "elasticity" to all variants to 1.1.
- Reordered blocks in an attempt to make the upgrade screen more intuitive.
- Doubled solar array "R" generation to 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 depending on size.
- Added a new experimental block called "Harmonized Phonon Deflector" that, due to having an elasticity value of 5, react violently to impact.

Note: Due to the numerous changes in this version, starting a fresh game is recommended. Existing block ID's did not change from previous version but some blueprints did. Existing save game should load but may have some minor issues with stations.

Release 1.6

- Replaced 2 sliders color selectors with RGB colors remapping sliders. The left one remap the red attribute, the middle one the green attribute and the right one, the blue attribute. When starting a new game, by default, the sliders do not remap any colors so each blocks use its original faction block color.
- Implemented powerful "Retrothrusters": Basically a slow winding, strong thruster that takes a few seconds to reach full power. The "Thruster E" group was renamed to "RetroThruster" and feature this new behavior. P cost was adjusted accordingly.
