Star Ruler Update Released

[Dirty]

Updates to Star Ruler have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

 

Fixed:

 

• Fix civil acts that have a group not correctly loading.
  
• Fix racial bonuses affecting ship components not correctly applying.
  
• Crash on game start when having shaders disabled.
  
• Dry Docks could be ordered to scuttle or retrofit at themselves, making them disappear.
  
• When starting at a higher tech level from traits, structures on the homeworld did not start at that level.
  
• Fetch orders did not behave properly with resources that have a "required" (eg Crew).
  
• Ships reacting to automated attack orders could overshoot the system and sit idle at the edge of deep space.
  
• The set_owner and destroy console commands now work with all selected objects.
  
• Fixed a very rare crash bug caused by moving between systems/galaxies.
  
• The minimap was horizontally flipped.
  
• Objects that are under attack can no longer be docked to prevent exploits.
  
• Construction progress would jump suddenly at times.
  
• Construction completion percent is now the average of the lowest percentage of a particular resource, and the average percent per resource.
  
• Scripted planet governor entries were breaking saves.
  
• Shields no longer consume more power at higher levels.
  
• "Supply This" was willing to tell planets and stations to supply objects.
  
• Ships built from dry docks with auto park on would not park at the correct distance.Fixed nano-armor reducing the ship's total apparent health in the absence of repair systems.
  

Changed:

 

• Tweaked governors to maintain a stronger economy and empire.
  
• Tool names are now localizable.
  
• Automated attack orders are now lower priority, so ships will break attacks to fetch fuel and ammo unless manually ordered to attack to the death.
  
• Cut space damage in half.
  
• Repair tools can now only repair ships and stations.
  
• Fleets now stay in formation while attacking (can be toggled off with a button next to the formation buttons).Cargo Structures now also have a store for each dedicated resource, making them more useful in many cases.
  

Balance:

 

• Artillery now has a minimum range of 10% of the maximum range.Goods factories now produce 30% less goods.
  

Added:

 

• Added 'Automatic' option for default governor type to choose based on the conditions of the planet.
  
• Objects now use a much better algorithm to search for targets in a system, improving behaviors at very large ship counts.
  
• Ships now detect if they are likely to kill an enemy target and will select additional targets for their other guns when they are.Added the 'Aggressor' personality by Superking.
