* Tilføjet opskrifter til at fordøje frugt og valmue
New map: Insula mortis
Improved experience
* Added mass upgrade tool. When an area is selected for upgrade, a popup window can be used to select what entities in that area should be upgraded.
* Added comprehensive checklist-based tutorial that will guide new players though the early game (can be disabled).
* Reworked and restructured tutorials to better explain game mechanics, be more simple to read, and be less verbose.
* Added mods configuration options when starting or loading a game. This also allows you to add/remove mods before a game is loaded. Note that not all mods can be safely added/removed from a save.
* Introduced a new bricks production chain into the game. Bricks can be used as an alternative for Concrete in Construction parts. Bricks are designed to make early game a bit easier.
Performance
* Further optimized transport pillars rendering and added LODs, saving many millions of drawn triangles in large factories.
Balance changes
* World map no longer gives refugees from explorations.
* Beacon is now infinite with diminishing returns.
* Reduced early research difficulties.
* Removed electronics from collapsed radio tower.
* Research labs no longer consume Unity when idle.
* Reduced connector buffer size significantly (size is still based on transporting speeds of connected entities).
* Increased water requirements to make 8 acid from 4 to 6.
* Reduced water yield from cleaning of 24 toxic slurry from 20 to 18.
Behavior changes
* When assigning a vehicle to a building (e.g. mine tower), assign the closest one.
* Excavators no longer return to the mine tower when mining finishes, unless they are outside of the mine area.
* Dumping designations are no longer searched based on proximity to the mine tower but on proximity to the vehicle.
* Refueling trucks now don’t leave fuel stations while the station keeps loading them with more fuel.
* Trucks and excavators now prefer to refuel at the fuel station that is assigned to their mine tower.
* Improved logistics jobs priority system.
* Transport connector now attempts to accept inputs evenly from all connected ports (outputs were already even). This means that a connector has an equivalent behavior to a balancer without any priorities or ratio enforcement settings on.
* Transports construction tool now places a connector in places where it makes sense (e.g. two output ports facing the same tile).
* Statue of maintenance now provides maintenance reduction based on the number of operational statues. The maintenance reduction of a single statue was reduced from 5% to 4%, but each additional statue gives an additional reduction which is a half of the previous one. For example, 3 statues give 4% + 2% + 1% = 7% total maintenance reduction now!
* It is now possible to flip entities with mechanical shaft such as turbines and generators.
* It is now possible to queue any research node and all required parent nodes will be queued before it automatically.
* Improved ship surrender logic so that your ship will not surrender if the enemy has much lower HP.
* Improved tree harvester logic to ignore non-reachable trees if possible.
User interface
* Replaced toggle buttons with checkboxes.
* Improved several dialogs to properly respect the Esc key.
* Total population view moved from the big top left tiles to the main top toolbar.
* Removed custom starving notifications and moved them to the regular notifications.
* Notification dismissal status is now persistent (loads from a save).
* Collapse warning icon on affected building disappears when its notification is dismissed. Notification reappears when more terrain under the affected building is modified.
* Custom warning notifications on storages don't go away until the contents are more than 5% off the target to prevent flickering.
* Message notifications now auto-collapse when there are more than 5 of them.
* Add "delete entire transport" action into the construction toolbox for better discoverability.
* Transport height now shows the correct height when connecting to other transports.
* Remove the top title bar from the bottom toolbar and use tooltips for the items instead.
* When selecting an entity, prefer a vehicle if there are two entities to choose from. This allows selecting trucks clipped inside of buildings.
* Fixed idle non-assigned vehicles that were not properly updated in the UI.
* Fixed an incorrect estimate of water yield in the rainwater harvester.
* Fixed Recipe book that did not show some recipes as locked if the owning entity was locked.
* Fixed hotkey for price tooltip did not work if transport editor was activated via copy tool.
* Fixed missing tooltips in settlement overview, added a link for tutorial about health.
* Product stats titles are now ordered by name.
* Made key-binging tooltips translatable.
* Mining overlay can be now toggled without canceling current selection for building.
* Games can be loaded/saved by double-clicking on existing file names.
* Updated translations, thanks to everyone who is contributing!
Significant bug fixes
* Fixed recycling of gold which was incorrectly returning only 1/3 of the expected value.
* Fixed issue with free maintenance when global maintenance amount exceeded capacity.
* Fixed contracts that were in some cases charging more Unity than they should have.
* Fixed game crash when clicking "continue" for a save file that was deleted in the meantime.
* Fixed terrain rendering that was showing lighter stripes on steep slopes.
* Fixed shipyard collapse that was not properly destroying products, potentially causing the permanent radiation issues.
* Fixed incorrect sun brightness and shadows intensity when a game was loaded during rainy weather.
Transport related bug fixes
* Transport connectors now return products to the shipyard when destroyed (instead of destroying them).

* Fixed construction cubes visualization when transport under construction was connected to other transports.
* Paused transports no longer accept products.
* Transports in clearing mode are no longer moving products and are no longer accepting products.
* Fixed destroy tool that was incorrectly selecting the entire transport when the cursor was previously on any other non-transport building.
* Fixed transport destroy tool that was not showing destroy preview when repeatedly hovered over the same spot on a transport.
Other Bug fixes
* Server racks can no longer be added into non-constructed data centers.
* Fixed vehicle overlay that was sometimes shown for an incorrect vehicle class.
* Fixed wood disappearance when truck overload edict was active.
* Fixed inability to select tree harvesters sometimes.

* Cargo depot modules now have an idle state.
* Fixed that the beacon was not losing progress when paused.
* Fixed buildings highlighting during route assignment.
* Fixed rendering of building ghosts particles below terrain designations.
* Upgrade of machines now properly prunes obsolete product buffers. This means that upgraded Blast furnace II will no longer accept iron ore since it cannot even process it.

Nyt kort: Insula mortis
Forbedret oplevelse
* Tilføjet masseopgraderingsværktøj. Når et område er valgt til opgradering, kan et popup-vindue bruges til at vælge, hvilke enheder i det område der skal opgraderes.
* Tilføjet omfattende tjekliste-baseret tutorial, der vil guide nye spillere gennem det tidlige spil (kan deaktiveres).
* Omarbejdede og omstrukturerede tutorials for bedre at forklare spilmekanik, være nemmere at læse og være mindre udførlige.
* Tilføjede mods-konfigurationsmuligheder, når du starter eller indlæser et spil. Dette giver dig også mulighed for at tilføje/fjerne mods, før et spil indlæses. Bemærk, at ikke alle mods sikkert kan tilføjes/fjernes fra en lagring.
* Introducerede en ny klodsproduktionskæde i spillet. Mursten kan bruges som et alternativ til beton i konstruktionsdele. Klodser er designet til at gøre tidligt spil en smule lettere.
Ydeevne
* Yderligere optimeret gengivelse af transportsøjler og tilføjede LOD'er, hvilket sparer mange millioner tegnede trekanter på store fabrikker.
Balanceændringer
* Verdenskortet giver ikke længere flygtninge fra udforskninger.
* Beacon er nu uendelig med faldende afkast.
* Reducerede tidlige forskningsvanskeligheder.
* Fjernet elektronik fra det kollapsede radiotårn.
* Forskningslaboratorier bruger ikke længere Unity, når de er inaktive.
* Reduceret stikbufferstørrelse betydeligt (størrelsen er stadig baseret på transporthastigheder for tilsluttede enheder).
* Øget vandbehov for at lave 8 syre fra 4 til 6.
* Reduceret vandudbytte fra rensning af 24 giftige gylle fra 20 til 18.
Adfærdsændringer
* Når du tildeler et køretøj til en bygning (f.eks. minetårn), skal du tildele det nærmeste.
* Gravemaskiner vender ikke længere tilbage til minetårnet, når minedriften er afsluttet, medmindre de er uden for mineområdet.
* Dumping-betegnelser søges ikke længere på baggrund af nærhed til minetårnet, men på nærhed til køretøjet.
* Tankningslastbiler forlader nu ikke tankstationer, mens stationen bliver ved med at fylde dem med mere brændstof.
* Lastbiler og gravemaskiner foretrækker nu at tanke brændstof på den tankstation, der er tilknyttet deres minetårn.
* Forbedret logistikjob prioriteringssystem.
* Transportstik forsøger nu at acceptere input jævnt fra alle tilsluttede porte (output var allerede lige). Dette betyder, at en konnektor har en ækvivalent adfærd som en balancer uden nogen prioriteter eller forholdshåndhævelsesindstillinger aktiveret.
* Transports konstruktionsværktøj placerer nu et stik på steder, hvor det giver mening (f.eks. to udgangsporte, der vender mod den samme flise).
* Statue of maintenance giver nu vedligeholdelsesreduktion baseret på antallet af operationelle statuer. Vedligeholdelsesreduktionen af en enkelt statue blev reduceret fra 5 % til 4 %, men hver ekstra statue giver en yderligere reduktion, som er halvdelen af den foregående. For eksempel giver 3 statuer 4% + 2% + 1% = 7% total vedligeholdelsesreduktion nu!
* Det er nu muligt at vende enheder med mekanisk aksel såsom turbiner og generatorer.
* Det er nu muligt at sætte en hvilken som helst forskningsknude i kø, og alle påkrævede overordnede noder vil automatisk blive sat i kø før den.
* Forbedret skibsovergivelseslogik, så dit skib ikke vil overgive sig, hvis fjenden har meget lavere HP.
* Forbedret træhøsterlogik til at ignorere træer, der ikke kan nås, hvis det er muligt.

* Status for afvisning af meddelelser er nu vedvarende (indlæses fra en lagring).
* Skjul advarselsikon på den berørte bygning forsvinder, når dens meddelelse afvises. Meddelelsen vises igen, når mere terræn under den berørte bygning ændres.
* Brugerdefinerede advarsler på lager forsvinder ikke, før indholdet er mere end 5 % fra målet for at forhindre flimren.

Compatibility
* Save files from Update 1 are fully compatible and all new features are available in legacy saves.
* In order to enjoy updated maps and improved terrain generation, you need to start a new game.
Map editor and terrain generation
* Fully-featured map editor that allows editing maps as a set of manually-configured procedurally-generated features.
* Map editor offers a wide range of configurability from simple shape control and parameters configuration, to changing how 2D noise functions are chained together to generate terrain features.
* New map representation that ensures maps are maximally forward-compatible and future-proof.
* Increased maximum map size to 17M tiles, 4x larger than the largest map so far.
* New maps may contain more than one starting location.
* Improved map generation pipeline to allow parallelization of all generation stages, decreasing game load times.
* New hydraulic erosion simulation that makes the terrain (especially mountains and cliffs) look more realistic.
* Procedurally-generated features such as mountain ranges are now configurable as polygons, not only as lines.
* All existing maps were recreated and improved, all containing new starting locations for fresh playthroughs.
Community Hub
* Created and launched a community hub for sharing blueprints, maps, and mods: https://hub.coigame.com/
* Hub offers better integration with the game (compared to other third-party services) such as validating blueprint strings, or showing contents of uploaded maps.
Custom surfaces & decals
* It is now possible to manually place surfaces such as concrete on the ground.
* There are 10 surfaces available: 2 concrete kinds, 4 metal kinds, 2 sandstone kinds, bricks, and cobblestone
* Exclusive gold floor is available in the Supporters Edition (thanks for everyone's generous support!).
* All surfaces now have curbs at their boundary.
* All surfaces can be painted with decals such as lines, stripes, arrows, numbers, and other decorative elements. There are over 70 different decals to choose from available in 8 colors.
* Decals can also be copy-pasted or saved into blueprints
* Vehicles driving on custom surfaces have reduced maintenance.
Improved difficulties settings
* Game difficulty setup in the new game flow is now split into two parts: difficulties and mechanics.
* Difficulties adjust factors like production, yields, and resource availability.
* Mechanics alter gameplay in more significant ways, e.g. whether vehicles should keep driving slowly without fuel or stop.
* It is now possible to configure the game settings to eliminate death spirals, making the game more approachable for casual players, or to make it even more challenging for veterans.
* All game difficulty settings can be now changed during the game, however, any change will be recorded in a log and a cooldown period prevents changing the same settings too often.
* There are now more than 30 individual game difficulty settings available.
- New option to disable death by starvation, starving people will not work though.
- New option to keep vehicles running slowly without fuel.
- New option to keep ships running on unity when no fuel is available.
- New option to keep machines working for some time without electricity or computing.
- New option to keep machines working slowly when broken down due to low maintenance.
- New option to stop conveyor belts from working when low on power.
- New option to keep water pumps working when no water with reduced throughput.
- New option to keep world mines working slowly when without Unity.
- New option for full deconstruction refund.
- Added research cost multiplier.
- Added quick actions Unity cost multiplier.
- Added solar power production multiplier.

Additional new features
* Hydrogen vehicles
- New class of vehicles that run on hydrogen instead of diesel.
- Hydrogen vehicles include: T2 and T3 trucks and excavators, T2 tree harvester, tree planter, and cargo ship.
* More fuels for Cargo ships
- Ships can use Diesel or Heavy oil interchangeably
- New hydrogen ship
* Conveyor lifts
- Vertical transports allowing vertical movement of unit and loose products.
- Lift up to a height difference of 6 tiles on 1x2 tiles of space which allows transporting materials over retaining walls.
* Ores sorting
- When enabled, trucks with mixed materials from a mine will have to dump their cargo to a dedicated ore sorting plant, instead of directly delivering individual materials.
- Ores sorting can be changed in new or existing games via new game difficulty settings.
* Loans
- It is now possible to loan certain materials from friendly settlements.
- Loans can help with averting crises or speeding-up progress.
* Props removal tool for easy removal of tree stumps, rocks, and bushes.
Improvements
* Balancers can be suspended on pillars, similar to transports or connectors. Other transports or balancers can be built on top of them, allowing for truly multi-level conveyor networks.
* Logistics now won’t schedule delivery jobs if the second leg of the trip is not accessible. This solves issues where trucks were being loaded with material and was then unable to deliver it to its destination.
* Trucks no longer get stuck on unreachable goals; they mark such goals as inaccessible instead. Targets that can’t be reached by multiple vehicles get reported via a notification.
* Molten transports and balancers can now be elevated, but must still remain flat.
* Initial transport placement no longer requires a valid pillar to start the transport construction.
New UI
* New user interface for the main menu, map editor, in-game settings and difficulty configuration.
* Revamped save/load game screen to group saves by game sessions. This is also reflected on disk where games from one session are organized in directories.
- This also prevents auto-saves from mixing between different sessions.
* Mods that fail to load are now marked in the UI together with the copyable error message.
* Improved sound effects for many UI actions
Graphics improvements
* Pipes are now colored based on their contents. This change is slow and gradual to avoid any sudden changes and to support pipes with mixed contents.
* Trucks with tank attachments are colored similar to pipes and have a product icon on the side.
* Fluid storages have a product icon on top.
* Three new deciduous tree variants: birch, maple, and oak.
* New terrain props: bushes.
* Clouds now cast shadows on the ground.
* Improved particle effects for various machines, especially those emitting fire or steam.
* Interactions with terrain such as mining, dumping, or terrain collapse now generate dust particles.
* Vehicles now emit smoke from exhausts.
* Trees now sway in the wind slightly.
* Terrain rendering now reacts to wetness from weather and ocean.
Balancing
* Vehicles and cargo ships now cause pollution when using fossil fuels.
* Cost of Vehicle barriers was reduced from 10 to 1 concrete.
* Cost of Retaining walls was reduced from 10 to 6 concrete and 4 to 2 iron per tile.
* Increased output and upgrade levels for world map’s rock mine
Changes in the early game
* Abandoned radio tower is now set to be recycled by default.
* The main ship no longer requires initial repairs, just the dock.
* Early assembler now requires power so power production is unlocked from the start, initial diesel supplies were increased to reflect that.
Modding
* Significant changes were made in the modding API, all mods will likely need to be updated and recompiled.
* Mods are now selected at the start of the new game (instead of at the end), allowing them to affect the new game setup flow, e.g. providing maps for selection.
* Improved how mod configs are being handled, now all mod configs must derive IModConfig interface.
Fixes
* Fixed disappearing large entities under some camera angles in rare cases.
* Fixed a slight memory leak after quitting a game to the main menu.
* Fixed settlement health/unity generation when more than one settlement was constructed.
