Beta Branch Patch 2.0.3 - Patchnotes

Improved Fighter AI, balancing adjustments, and some major UI improvements!

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'.


Gameplay
"A few AI adjustments (mostly fighters) and some minor goodies."

•   Added a buyable beacon that can be deployed with a customizable message
•   Ship AI is no longer limited by range of PDCs when they have other weapons they could use
•   Self-pulling into a dock via tractor beam now pulls slightly longer to avoid edge-cases where it's just barely not possible to dock

•   Player fighters without mothership (and thus without pilot) now fly in circles
•   NPC fighters without mothership (and thus without pilot) now explode
•   Dropped building knowledge is now reserved for 1h instead of 2min

Balancing
"We're adjusting fighters slightly again because this time we overdid it a little. Those changes should tone them down slightly from their current status as indestructible killing machines. We're also giving the different shield upgrades a more distinct use."

•   Increased resources necessary for production of fighters on ship slightly
•   Increased range of Anti-Fighter cannnons by 1km
•   Once all guaranteed dodges of a fighter are used, they get a 0.25s cooldown until the next random dodge can be done

•   Fighters now get (3 + 2 x [PilotLevel]) guaranteed dodges up from (3 + 1 x [PilotLevel])
•   Strong escort ships and escorting commodores now reduce base attack chance (which couldn't be reduced before)
•   Slightly reduced yields from mining & salvaging safe mode
•   The trader that is attacked by pirates no longer dies in 2 seconds
  •   It's now 120s, except when you're helping them with the dying
•   Increased amount of shields provided by energy to shield converter subsystem
•   Shield boosters now give a flat bonus to shield instead of a percentage
•   Reduced maximum amount of goods available for Trade Command in early game
•   Reduced random spawn rate of bosses slightly, since people jump more often now
•   Reduced prices of torpedoes by 56%

UI
"We're now communicating better what the different intricacies of the different operations are. And we've got a brand new scenario selection for Singleplayer games! Apart from that: More UI QoL and other good stuff!"

•   Improved UI of operations
  •   Colored price percentages of sell command

•   Assigning from/to vanilla crewmembers will no longer trigger a notification
•   Added loading screen tips about several intricacies of operations
•   Energy Tab is now more compact and fits on screen for lower resolutions

Misc

Fri, August 27, 2021


We're making some nice improvements to the fighter UI and the galaxy map, and fixing tons more bugs!

Gameplay
•   AI can now use multi-harvest turrets to both mine or salvage

Balancing
"Buffing energy to shield converters a little more to make them more competitive.

•   Energy to shield converters now stack with other shield bonuses
•   Improved shields given by energy-to-shield converter to give better shield +% than previous shield boosters

Beta Branch Patch 2.0.5 - Patchnotes
Tue, August 31, 2021


We're adding some more QoL improvements and fixing crashes!

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'.

Gameplay
"More general QoL for everyone! Ships now stop when they don't have a salvaging license in a scrapyard, gems now have a purpose, and we've added a 'stealthy' swiftness so that you can tell your ships more safely to fly somewhere with minimal attack problems."

•   Salvage AI now stops when its salvaging license runs out
•   Gems are now bought by Habitats and Casinos
•   Added a "stealthy" swiftness for travel command with very low attack probability but high travel time
•   Commodores of escorting ships now properly reduce attack chance for Travel Command
•   AI ships can now use armed auto turrets to defend themselves while mining/salvaging
•   'Dock to station', 'peaceful patrol' and 'refine ores' AI states now set the ship to 'passive' instead of 'idle' to avoid spinning
•   Asteroids are now guaranteed in scrapyard sectors to avoid mining ships appearing and doing nothing
•   Captains can now no longer be Intimidating and Harmless at the same time

Balancing
"We're buffing the normal delivery missions to make them more worthwhile, and there will be more missions available in general. We're also changing the mine/salvage operation safe mode, and you won't be able to use absolute minimum effort ships in areas where they're obviously outclassed. It's been pointed out to us that sending a 2 slot iron ship to mine for 4h in (1:1) without it being in any danger doesn't feel balanced and we agree. They'll need to be at least a little bit on par with ships in the area or you'll have to use an escort to protect them."

•   Doubled base rewards for delivery missions
•   Delivery mission bonus reward now scales with location in the galaxy
•   Doubled base rewards for resource shortage missions (now 4x the good's price)
•   Resource shortage mission bonus reward now scales with location in the galaxy
•   Increased number of available bulletin board missions
•   Increased likelihood of Tier III captain mission
•   Mine Operation's safe mode now reduces attack chance by 90% instead of setting it to flat 0%
•   Salvage Operation's safe mode now reduces attack chance by 90% instead of setting it to flat 0%
•   Energy drain of energy to shield converter is now static for each rarity
•   Increased prices of energy to shield converter upgrades to be more on par with other upgrades
•   Increased fluctuation of the amount of goods available through trade contracts
•   Reduced reputation gain of a few side missions from +10000 to +7500 to make them more on par with other missions
•   Clearing out a pirate sector now grants +3500 reputation to a nearby faction

UI
"Some more UI QoL improvements, enjoy!"

•   Added an alternative view for ship weapon overview that doesn't fill out the selection by slot, but by turret
•   Added better error messages as to why a captain can't sell something (esp. which good is problematic)
•   Readded display of total crew salary
•   Escorting ships now additionally show the description of their escorted ships
•   Added a config option to enable/disable encyclopedia pop ups
•   Improved Translations
•   Improved rendering performance of map tag icons when there are many icons

Bugfixes
"As always, bug fixes marked with [UBR] are from User Bug Reports, that were submitted through our bug reporter! Thanks for your help and keep it up! :)"

•   [UBR] Fixed some wrong translations
•   [UBR] Fixed an issue where fighter AI was not properly detecting wreckages
•   Fixed an issue where unowned objects were shown as purple instead of grey
•   [UBR] Fixed an issue where seeker shots of autopiloted ships targeted the wrong objects on the client
•   [UBR] Fixed an issue where autopiloted ships aimed badly on the client
•   [UBR] Fixed an issue where mines didn't buy things as intended
•   [UBR] Fixed several issues where jumping into some specific sectors could cause the game to crash
•   [UBR] Fixed an issue where ships on operations (and NPC ships) always used all weapons on the ship for everything
•   [UBR] Fixed an issue where auto turrets were shooting ships that were assigned as friends
•   [UBR] Fixed an issue where permanently installed upgrades could get lost when the ship was too massively damaged
•   [UBR] Fixed an issue where upgrades could get lost on reconstruction
•   Fixed a few script crashes
•   [UBR] Fixed an issue where the boost of ships would continue over loading screen, draining too much energy on hyperspace jump
•   Fixed a performance issue in UI of Mine and Salvage Operation
•   Fixed an issue where missions weren't tracked correctly
•   [UBR] Fixed an issue where academy was reset when a ship went on an operation
•   [UBR] Fixed an issue where cloning pods were reset when a ship went on an operation
•   Fixed an issue where repairing turret bases crashed the game
•   Fixed an issue where players would get Black Market DLC rewards even though they don't own the DLC
•   Fixed some crashes in commands when using them with alliance ships
•   Fixed a crash in strategy mode when hovering an object that was just destroyed
•   Fixed an issue where hangar didn't properly detect highest material of deployed fighter
•   [UBR] Fixed an issue where mining/salvaging fighters were recalled all the time by its mothership while mining
•   [UBR] Fixed rigid and coaxial turrets being able to shoot through the ship
•   [UBR] Fixed an issue where procurecommand's "stolen" checkbox was still checked and used even though it was invisible
•   [UBR] Fixed an issue where hyperspace engine cooling would show the wrong times

Update 2.0 - Now Available!
Tue, 7 September 2021



New Progression, better UI and tons of improved features!

We’re incredibly happy to announce that Avorion is now finally ready to have another version increase! With update 2.0 we bring you a ton of Quality of Life improvements. We have streamlined several features and massively improved the UI! We’re absolutely thrilled about this update and hope that you are, too!

Thank you for buying Avorion, supporting us and for helping us make this game better and better!




New Progression
With this update we’re introducing a new experience that makes the game a ton more fun. The new progression keeps players on their toes, challenging them in a new way and encouraging them to try new things.

Instead of being able to build everything right from the get go, the new system requires you to build with the materials at hand and limits the processing power and size a ship can have. To unlock the next material you have to acquire the building knowledge for it. This can be done by either fighting a boss or a difficult pirate encounter, or, if you’re not the fighting type, it can be bought at Shipyards.

With this you can experience the game in a new way! Explore regions and their materials and learn how to use their advantages to build the perfect ship to overcome the next challenges.



And if we weren’t able to convince you - you can simply go back to the old system and play the game in the new Classic mode, too!

Captains, Commands and Crew Improvements
Our old captains got some love with this update. They now have personalities, perks and quirks and are much more autonomous. Instead of having to click a ton to set up a good mining route, you can now simply make a contract with your captain. You tell them where to go and which ships to take as an escort, and they will handle everything around it. From finding the sectors with asteroids to refining the collected ores, and regularly sending you their yields, everything will be taken care of.
Of course, we’ve done that not only for mining. The new commands include everything necessary to live a comfortable life in the galaxy, such as trading, scouting and even traveling long distances!



With the introduction of the captains we’ve also reworked how the crew in general works. In short - you now need less crew, but can over-assign posts to achieve up to 200 % efficiency! And you no longer need to hire higher ranked crew members, as your crew automatically promotes crew members as soon as higher officers are needed. This should make finding enough crew for your awesome battleship much easier!

Player Profile
To keep better track of what you’ve achieved on your playthrough, we added a new Player Profile section. In this section you get an overview of all the things you can do in Avorion. We hope that you’ll have just as much fun unlocking the milestones as we do!



Fighters
We’ve rebalanced fighters and among several changes to their stats we’ve also improved their overall gameplay feel. With improvements to their AI, pilots now staying on the ship and not getting lost if the fighter is destroyed and fighter production having been reworked (both in cost and time), the carrier playstyle will feel much more viable now.
Additionally squads now get one overall squad skin, so that all fighters within a squad have the same look. This also means that the game performance around fighters is much better!

Hyperspace engine
The hyperspace engine got lots of love as well. In short, your hyperspace engine will now charge before the jump and can even do several consecutive jumps without having to reopen the map every time! Additionally, hyperspace jumps need much less energy in total now and with the new animation and sound they feel a lot smoother.



Autopilot
And last but not least, the universally most wished feature is here! Every ship is now equipped with a powerful autopilot that can do menial in-sector tasks for you. Docking to a station, flying somewhere, mining or salvaging, repairing or attacking ships, … Give the order and lean back while your ship does all the work!

This is only a small selection of what is actually contained in the new update. For full details check out the final patchnotes for Update 2.0

Beta Branch Patch 2.0.7 - Patchnotes
Thu, 16 September 2021


We're making a few adjustments to mine, salvage, procure, and fixing more bugs!

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'.

Gameplay
"Some of the changes and bugfixes in this update were already introduced on the default branch, but are listed here as well for the sake of completion."

Added possibility to repeat the dialog with a wreckage in "A lost friend"
Player now starts with 3 Turrets named exactly the same as hint suggests into tutorial to avoid confusion
Mining/Salvaging carriers now need proper working fighter/squad/pilot configurations to get full yields on Mining/Salvaging Operations
Mining/Salvaging ships now return to the sector they were sent away from upon return

Balancing
"We're adjusting the Procurement Contract a little to base it more on reality when procuring large amounts of goods. Right now it's possible to very quickly procure huge amounts of goods, that would never be available in some regions. We'll keep an eye on the numbers and will be adjusting when they don't feel right."

Procure command now takes more time when very large amounts of a single good are bought
Once a certain threshold of value (per single good) is reached, it takes +45min per time the threshold is overstepped
Threshold ’1.500.000 at the outer edge, ’30.000.000 at the core
Threshold is still always at least 100 of a single good (in case you enjoy procuring Mining Robots or Accelerators)

UI
Xsotan artifacts II and V now say "arbitrary" instead of "armed or unarmed"
Shortened German translation of label in scout command UI for better alignment
When under attack, the map now shows the name of the attacked station or ship

Patch 2.0.7 is now live!
Wed, 29 September 2021



Balancing improvements and bugfixes

After performing well on the beta branch, patch 2.0.7 is now live on default!

Gameplay
"Some of the changes and bugfixes in this update were already introduced on the default branch, but are listed here now for the sake of completion."

    Added possibility to repeat the dialog with a wreckage in "A lost friend"
    Player now starts with 3 Turrets named exactly the same as hint suggests into tutorial to avoid confusion
    Mining/Salvaging carriers now need proper working fighter/squad/pilot configurations to get full yields on Mining/Salvaging Operations
    Mining/Salvaging ships now return to the sector they were sent away from upon return


Balancing
"We're adjusting the Procurement Contract a little to base it more on reality when procuring large amounts of goods. Right now it's possible to very quickly procure huge amounts of goods, that would never be available in some regions. We'll keep an eye on the numbers and will be adjusting when they don't feel right."

    Procure command now takes more time when very large amounts of a single good are bought
        Once a certain threshold of value (per single good) is reached, it takes +45min per time the threshold is overstepped
        Threshold ’1.500.000 at the outer edge, ’30.000.000 at the core
        Threshold is still always at least 100 of a single good (in case you enjoy procuring Mining Robots or Accelerators)


UI

    Xsotan artifacts II and V now say "arbitrary" instead of "armed or unarmed"
    Shortened German translation of label in scout command UI for better alignment
    When under attack, the map now shows the name of the attacked station or ship

New Avorion DLC Announced: Into The Rift
Wed, April 13, 2022

New Avorion Add-On DLC Announced: Into The Rift




Hey spacefarers and builders!

We're glad to announce that we've been busy over the past few months since the 2.0 update! Apart from moving offices, Christmas Holidays, New Year's, taking some time off from the 2.0-update stress, and upgrading some of our internal processes, we've been working on some new exciting stuff!

So here it is: We'd like to officially announce the next DLC add-on for Avorion: Into The Rift!

Without spoiling too much, the add-on will be tailored around the rifts that have formed in the galaxy and researching them. It will also focus more on the Xsotan and Xsotan Lore in general! Just like with Black Market, the add-on will be fully multiplayer compatible and there won't be servers you can't play on just because you don't own the Into The Rift DLC. Finally, the add-on will arrive together with a free update that will contain some improvements for everyone.

Alright, that's all for now! The excitement is real and we can't wait to share more news over the coming weeks. So stay tuned!

Avorion 2022 Roadmap
Tue, August 16, 2022


Here are some of the big milestones that we've got planned for 2022!

Hello, space farers and rifters!

We're currently working on tons of stuff, but now that the release of the DLC is done, we'd like to share what we'll be working on next. Keep in mind that this list is definitely incomplete, as there are tons of other small things that we're also working on.

For the remainder of 2022, we'll focus on smaller, more frequent, free content updates. These are the things that we'll be working on. They're not in any particular order:
Exposing several central DLC configs and files for modding
Secondary colors for blocks
More Blocks (those will be most likely purely aesthetic)
More Events (ie. Distress Calls, Attacks, etc)
More Bulletin Board Missions
Reworking Restock Command to Maintenance Command
Maintenance will restock torpedoes, fighters, repair, refill crew
More Boss Fights
Photo Mode
More Features (still secret)
Performance Improvements (always!)
Bugfixes (always!)


The roadmap is an ever-changing work in progress, and things aren't necessarily carved in stone. You can also check it out on the Avorion Wiki here: https://avorion.fandom.com/wiki/Roadmap

Patch 2.3.1 is now live on the default branch!
Thu, 19 January 2023


Drastic improvements to loading times as well as general performance and RAM improvements!


Performance
"While working on our next free content update (more on that here) we've made major improvements to sector loading times, as well as some adjustments to our RAM management, that we didn't want to keep from you, so, enjoy!"

    Improved performance of base game loop (client & server) by 0.6ms (ca. +4% better performance at 60FPS)
        Note: This was on our office workstations, impact on other machines can differ, but there should be a notable impact especially for older hardware
    Improved performance of loading screens when ambient shuttles are enabled, but none are active in the sector
    Drastically improved performance of loading screens
    when there are lots of asteroids and shaders are set to "Normal"
        Note: 24s loading screen down to 6s loading screen for massive asteroid fields on our workstations at the office
    Improved general performance of scripts
    Strongly reduced memory usage of scripts
    Improved server performance when leaving rift sectors
    F10, /profile and /status no longer stall client/server during the output filedump


Modding

    Dev-Script lib/entitydbg.lua
    is no longer added to everything by default but when pressing F4
