DEVLOG: Behemoths DLC & Updates
Mon, 21 August 2023
Hello dear Spacefarers, Explorers, Pirates and Xsotan Hunters!
We are excited to be back to Avorion with many updates and a free DLC in the works! We have some new world minibosses, we made some improvements to escort AI, ship management, and more! We truly hope that you enjoy these changes, and of course, enjoy experiencing them when the time comes!
Mini World Bosses
We all love exploring space, and to make sure it won’t get too boring, we added various Mini World Bosses! Now you’ll be running into some ‘friends’ as you travel around the galaxy… Oh, also, be careful, we can’t be held accountable for any property damage made to your vessels. These mini world bosses will each have their own unique designs as well as backstories! Some will even feature new and unique weapons!
Escort AI
Over time we’ve collected quite some feedback for the escort AI. We tried our best to improve the escort AI as much as possible with all the suggestions we’ve received, here are some of the changes we’ve made:
Behavior improvement of ships set to “escort”,

Beta Branch Patch 2.4.1 - Patchnotes
Wed, 15 November 2023
Beta Branch Note:
These changes are currently available on the beta branch. The beta branch is for testing experimental changes
and for finding and fixing errors.
This is how you get access to the beta branch (USE AT YOUR OWN RISK):
Right-Click on Avorion in your Steam list, Properties -> Betas -> Select branch 'Beta Branch - Newest Changes & Experimental Features'.
Behemoth Events
Increased number of bonus turret slots for Behemoth Combat/Civil Turret Control Systems
Adjusted slightly misleading Behemoth Carrier Systems description
Remote Ship Management
Remote managing the selected ship now requires the player to hold "I"
Briefly pressing "I" while having another ship selected now just opens your current ship's management window again
Added visual clues to the remote manage window to make it more clear it is not your current ship's window
Fleet Tab
Improved compact view to take currently selected ship or station into account
Ships that have yield ready to claim will now display an icon in compact view
Misc
Updated Credits
Bugfixes
Fixed a crash on Linux related to recent Steam client updates affecting singleplayer and hosting multiplayer games
Fixed a crash when opening system tab in ship window while having a subsystem installed in a locked slot
Fixed an issue where escorting ships prioritized gates over jumps even when target sector was in jump range
They will still attempt to use gates if their hyperspace engine is on cooldown
Fixed an issue where escorting ships did not immediately jump with the leader when possible
Fixed an issue that caused error messages "You can't modify the component ControlUnit"
Fixed an issue where player owned resource depots gave incorrect amounts of resources and money
Fixed an issue where the filter for stolen goods overruled other cargo bay filter settings
Fixed an issue where toggling compact view off and on resulted in the wrong row being expanded
Fixed an issue where a Long-Distance-Trader subsystem's tooltip claimed to provide software for Transporter Blocks even when it didn't

Patch 2.4.3 is now live on the default branch!
Mon, February 26, 2024
Patch 2.4.3 improves docking behavior and addresses an AMD driver crash
After performing well on the beta branch, patch 2.4.3 is now live on the default main branch.
We've fixed a few bugs (like the station-says-I'm-docked-but-I'm-not-actually-docked-what-the-hell-is-happening-bug) and implemented a workaround for an AMD driver crash.
UI
Improved consistency of subsystem tooltip descriptions
Bugfixes
Fixed an issue where client and server disagreed about docking state (This should resolve cases where the ship was shown as docked but various menus sent errors about not being docked)
Implemented a workaround for an AMD GPU driver issue
Fixed an issue where ancient gates could be connected to world boss sectors
Fixed an issue where it was possible to give orders meant for ships to stations
Fixed a crash when a station was ordered to support a ship and the ship left the sector
Fixed an issue where boss health bars were visible in build mode
Fixed a crash related to destroyed entities in scrapyard sectors
Fixed an issue where a tooltip obstructed the confirmation dialog when removing a subsystem with shift-click
More details about the AMD driver situation can be found in the previous Beta-Branch Announcement

Beta Patch 2.5.6 now available
Wed, 5 February 2025
Better QoL for minimum block size limits
Beta Branch Note: These changes are currently available on the beta branch. The beta branch is for testing experimental changes and for finding and fixing errors.
This is how you get access to the beta branch (USE AT YOUR OWN RISK):
Right-Click on Avorion in your Steam list, Properties -> Betas -> Select branch 'Beta Branch - Newest Changes & Experimental Features'.
General
- Scenario presets have been added to free play settings
- Added a free play setting to set the minimum block size value for new galaxies
- You no longer have to edit server.ini directly
- We have extended the allowed values for the minimum block size limit
- Values can now be between 0.00001 and 0.01.
- This is only a lowest allowed value, it doesn't impact precision or bigger values. E.g. you can still build blocks with size 0.0125.
Build Mode
- Added new highlight modes to show blocks that are smaller than the default and the server's minimum block size limit
- You can use these to verify your builds before publishing them to the workshop
- Added an info box in the bottom right corner which shows how many small blocks the current craft has
- Added a notice to the Saved Design Window and Workshop Upload Window if your craft contains tiny blocks
- The view settings button now pulsates slightly when there are active settings
Bugfixes
As usual we have a few bug fixes for you. Thank you everyone for reporting those pesky little buggers!
- [UBR] Added map context menu entry to remove death location marker
- [UBR] Fixed an issue where mission bulletin of Cover Retreat would show the wrong faction name
- [UBR] Fixed an issue where the mass constraint wasn't updated correctly in mission descriptions
- [UBR] Fixed an issue where escorting ships did send incorrect warnings when following their leader to another sector
- [UBR] Fixed an issue where turret group icons behaved like they were clicked while mouse pointer was not active, e.g. while flying and fighting
