# Espionage Operations
* Take advantage of the Spy Networks your envoys build in other Empires and perform
  covert operations on them to steal their technologies, acquire assets, sabotage
  starbases, and much more.
# Become the Crisis
* Set your Empire down the path of destruction with a new ascension perk to Become
  the Crisis. Build up a fleet backed up by the most powerful ship the galaxy has
  ever seen and let no one stand in your way as you try to breach the veil of reality
  through any means possible.
# Galactic Custodian / Emperor
* Save the galaxy from the evilness that exists within it. You can now be elected
  the Custodian of the Galactic Community, with new powers to strengthen you against
  any crisis the galaxy faces. And once that crisis is taken care of, you can relinquish
  your powers. Or not.
# Other
* New majestic “Imperial Ship set”.
* 3 new musical tracks.
# Achievements
* Show off your sinister side with 10 new Steam achievements.

# Intel and First Contact Rework
* Intelligence and First contact has been completely redone in the ‘Dick’ patch.
  Empires will now have to send an Envoy as a diplomat to initiate first contact
  with another Empire, and from there build relations to increase the knowledge
  of that Empire.
# Espionage and Spy Networks
* Send Envoys to build Spy Networks in other Empires, gathering information and
  intelligence.
# Economic and Population Rework
* Building Slots:
* * Building Slots are now unlocked through expanding the infrastructure of a colony
    by constructing City, Hive, or Nexus Districts, by upgrading the capital building
    of the planet, or through civilian infrastructure technologies. (Note: Habitation
    Districts on habitats do not. Building slots can be acquired on habitats through
    the Voidborne Ascension Perk.) The Functional Architecture civic now also grants
    1 building slot.
* * Ecumenopoleis, Ringworlds, Hive Worlds, and Machine Worlds start with all building
    slots available for development.
* * Branch Office Building Slots are now unlocked by upgrading the capital building on
    the planet as well as the target empire having the Insider Trading tradition.
* * Several Technologies have been flagged as “Infrastructure” gateway technologies.
* Industrial Districts:
* * Alloys and Consumer Goods are now produced by Industrial Districts instead of Factory
    and Forge buildings. Specialized districts remain on an ecumenopolis.
* * Factory and Forge buildings now add additional consumer good or alloy producing
    jobs to Industrial Districts and are both exclusive and planet unique. (Both may
    be built on an ecumenopolis.)
* * The Forge World and Foundry World designations (and habitat equivalents) will
    now also shift one job between Consumer Goods to Alloys (or vice-versa) for each
    Industrial District, if possible.
* Pop Growth and Assembly:
* * Biological population growth now follows a curve based on the number of pops
    on the planet and the theoretical carrying capacity of the planet. Pops will
    start at their normal baseline but increase in speed as the population grows,
    eventually leveling off and slowing down as they fill up planets. The overall
    carrying capacity of a planet is largely based on the total housing the planet
    has, plus a value for unbuilt and unblocked districts based on the planet class,
    and can be seen by examining the Planet Size tooltip.
* * The amount of pop growth or assembly required to create a new pop is now increased
    by the total number of pops in the empire. Base assembly values have also been
    adjusted. As a result of these changes, the expected number of pops in the late
    game are significantly lower than before.
* * New colonies no longer suffer an explicit pop growth penalty. The basic Colony
    planetary designations now grants stability, amenities, and (in regular empires)
    happiness.
* * Spawning Pools and Cloning Vats now produce organic pop assembly rather than
    modifying pop growth.
* * Overpopulated planets will stop generating pops at lower levels of overpopulation.
# Other
* Reworked manual resettlement UI.
* Added auto-research Quality-of-Life feature.
* Added new diplo messages for when an empire is destroyed upon the end of a war.
* Added notifications when a member joins/leaves the Galactic Community/Empire.
* Added game setup option to pick which End-Game Crisis you get.
* Added a filter to the colonisation menu so that you can just view your main species.
* Added Setting for turning off mouse Screen Edge Panning.
* New factions-themed colony event chain, “Manifesti Destiny”, available to non-gestalt empires.
* Added around 10 new envoy-based random events

* Homeworlds now normally range from size 18-21 instead of 16-18.
* Empire starting resources and buildings have been adjusted.
* Changes have been made to resettlement:
* * Planets with sapient, unemployed, free pops now have a 10% chance per month
    for one to automatically migrate to other planets with appropriate jobs, housing,
    and decent habitability. Migration controls will prevent this auto-resettlement.
    Having multiple unemployed pops on a planet will increase the chance of one of them moving.
* * Greater Than Ourselves has been changed to significantly increase Automatic
    Resettlement Chance.
* * Transit Hub starbase building has been added, which increases the chance for
    auto-resettlement from all planets within its system.
* * Manual resettlement costs have been increased and now also for many pops also
    have an Influence cost. This Influence cost is waived by the Corvée System civic.
    The Subsumed Will and OTA Updates civics also waive influence costs for manual
    resettlement of drones. (Note: OTA Updates also does not waive the influence cost
    for moving Bio-Trophies, as they are not drones and they tend to resist the
    necessary OTA receiver upgrades.)
* * Manually resettling the last pop on a planet now has a significant Influence
    surcharge. (Which is not waived by the resettlement civics.)
* Unemployed Pop Updates:
* * Pop demotion time has been halved, and is now a base of 5 years for ruler
    strata pops and 2 1/2 years for specialists.
* * Unemployed pops now provide greater emigration push.
* * The Kinship tradition in the Harmony tree now reduces demotion time by 25%
    instead of 50%. Empires with Shared Burdens receive the 20% leader upkeep
    reduction effect from Synchronicity instead.
* Ringworld and Shattered Ring Balance Changes:
* * Ringworld segments provide half as many jobs as they used to, and the size of
    ringworlds has been increased to 10.
* * Commercial Ring World segments now have more Clerk jobs but no Artisan jobs.
* * The Shattered Ring origin now conveys Ringworld Habitability Preference,
    and begin with more blockers on their homeworld. Shattered Ring blockers
    now also provide -1 max districts.
* * The Shattered Ring origin is no longer guaranteed nearby habitable planets.
    They wouldn't want to live on them anyway.
* * Added a warning to the Shattered Ring origin that Lithoids will face mineral scarcity problems.
* Habitat and Void Dweller Balance Changes:
* * Habitat capital buildings now grant a maintenance drone job for machine empires.
* * Changed the adoption effect of Domination Traditions for Void Dwellers to reduce
    the upkeep cost of habitats from 5 alloys to 4 alloys.
* * Added a new tradition for Void Dwellers, Modular Superstructures which gives +1
    building slot per habitat. replacing ‘Public Works Division’.
* * Added the effects of Imperious Architecture to habitat capital buildings.
* * Added the effects of Interstellar Franchising to habitat trade districts.
* * Replaced Planetary Prospecting for Void Dwellers with Adaptability Tradition
    with Orbital Surveying, which allows construction of one of Reactor Districts,
    Astro-Mining Bays, or Research Districts to habitats that have none of these.
* * Changed the finishing effect of Expansion Traditions for Void Dwellers to reduce
    the alloy and influence cost of habitats by 20%
* Simplified the rules regarding what jobs robots of different tiers can work.
* * Simple robots can work all worker tier jobs.
* * Droids can work all worker and specialist jobs. If AI is outlawed, certain
    complex specialist jobs (such as researchers, bureaucrats, and culture workers) are unavailable to them.
* * Synthetics follow the same rules as droids, but if AI have full rights,
    they can also work in ruler jobs.
* Updates have been made to some Authorities and Ethics:
* * The Democratic Authority now increases the Automatic Resettlement Chance by 50%. (To a base of 15%)
* * The Oligarchic Authority now increases Influence from factions by 15%.
* * The Dictatorial Authority now reduces Empire Sprawl penalties by 10%.
* * The Imperial Authority retains its current +1 Edict Cap bonus.

* * The Gestalt Consciousness Ethic now also grants +2 Encryption, applying to
    both Machine Intelligences and Hive Minds.

* Envoys, Diplomacy, and Espionage
* * Base number of starting envoys is now 2.
* * Enigmatic Engineering now grants +2 Encryption and causes Steal Technology
    operations used against you to fail after the first stage is complete.
    It will still prevent reverse-engineering technologies from ship debris.

    Harm Relations now caps out at -100 and is changed at a rate of -0.5 per month.
* * The Establish Embassy diplomatic action exists once again, and increases Intel
    between the two empires and triples the effectiveness of Improve Relations.
* * Colonial Bureaucracy and Galactic Bureaucracy now grant +10 Base Intel.
* * The Sentry Array Megastructure now also increases Base Intel.
* * Several Espionage related Edicts have been added.
* * Several Technologies have been flagged as “Espionage” gateway technologies.
* Additional Economic Balance:
* * Added 3 new Society techs that give upgraded capital buildings progressively
    larger bonuses to production (while also increasing job upkeep).
* * Rural, Farming, Mining, and Generator colony designation bonuses increased,
    as well as the bonuses from Five Year Plans. Urban Worlds now get a trade bonus.
* * Mining, Capacity, and Farming Subsidy Edicts now grant +50% production.
* * Prosperity Adoption tradition's Mining Station Output bonus increased to 20%.
* * Technologies that boost space based resource gathering and research now become
    significantly stronger as they advance in tier.
* * The energy output of technicians and tech drones have been significantly increased.
* * The Trade Value generated by pops with decent or better living standards has been increased by 25-33%.
* * Effect on trade from most jobs (including Criminals) has been increased.
* * The Food Processing Center, Mineral Purification Hub, and Energy Nexus buildings
    now also increase the number of jobs added by the districts they affect.
    Food Processing Centers also increase the jobs produced by Hydroponic Farms.

* * Technologies that boost technician, farmer, or miner output now also apply to
    energy, food, or mineral producing starbase buildings and modules.
* * Insider Trading tradition now gives Megacorps +5% branch office value instead of
    +1 branch office building on their own planets (which was useless to them).
* It is now possible for the endgame crisis to happen in the first 50 years of
  the endgame in certain circumstances. These are:
* * No living fallen empires / awakened fallen empires;
* * War in Heaven not happening, concluded, or started 15 years ago;
* * A country has researched jump drives or psi jump drives (only the Unbidden can happen
    in the first 50 years in this case)
* Nuked old script to randomize which crisis shows up. Now it is simply purely a random choice
  that is random (with the chance of any crisis happening increasing the more years pass in the endgame).
* Buffed member perks for galactic union level 3 and 5
* * The Galactic Union Lvl 3 perk (Federal Attache) now gives +2 unity and +5% Trust Growth per envoy.

* The science federation election challenge now takes each participating country's level of
  scientific progress into account to a far greater degree than previously.
* Buffed Enclave stations a bit so they can no longer be wiped out by passing Amoebas.
* Base speed of purge is now set in the purge type on species rights.
* It is now possible for pop growth, assembly and purge to 'overflow', adding or removing multiple pops per month.
* Changed timing for Caravaneers.
* Outposts and other starbases now grant 1 sensor range.
  (Occupying starbases during a war will therefore allow you to attack adjacent systems
   if you have visibility into them. You may need a science vessel to escort military vessels
   into nebulas the first time!).
* The hyperlane detection range of sensors and science ships has been reduced.
  The Map the Stars edict now also increases hyperlane detection range by 1.
* Subjects of the Khan or Fallen Empires no longer gain their vast knowledge of geography.
* Clone Vats now cost 500 minerals and food to build, and have minor energy but significant food upkeep.

  reduces ethics attraction by 25% instead of 50%, and increases the maximum infiltration level
  your spy networks can reach rather than providing an Economic Diplomatic Weight bonus.
* Organic Paradise building now has both Artisan and Maintenance Drone jobs.
* Necrophage Centers of Elevation now produce 1, 2 or 3 Necrophyte jobs depending on
  how many organic pops grow in ten years, so that you are unlikely to run out of
  Necrophyte pops even with the new pop system.
  The upgraded House of Apotheosis now gives a flat 6 Necrophyte jobs.

* Significant updates have been made to planetary and sector automation.
* * Planetary Automation build lists and behavior have been heavily revised.
* * Planetary Automation will now only upgrade non-capital buildings
    if it will not cause a monthly deficit and if at least one job in the upgraded building would be filled.

    when the planet's employment and housing situations are perfectly fine)
* * Sector AI now knows how empire sprawl actually works
* * Sector AI now knows that the Crime Lord Deal makes anti-crime buildings superfluous

  that this will produce you minerals.
* Many improvements to tooltips giving reasons why a certain species right is unavailable to you.
* Purifier, Terminator and Devourer player empires will no longer be invited
  into the Non-Aligned League. Those guys are too dangerous to be trusted,
  even if the fate of the galaxy depends on it!
* Fixed many cases where buildings would show extensive and barely-readable AI-only
  requirements for constructing a building if you lacked the resources to do so.

* Fixed a few cases where the Research Cooperative federation election challenge
  would not correctly show the title of the winning thesis.

* Fixed Successor Khanates of the Great Khan spawning with no planets (again, for real this time!).
* Fixed a bunch of cases that were checking every ship in the galaxy   rather than the system or the fleet.
  Clash of the Titans achievement just got a lot harder to fulfil!
* Shattered Ring Driven Assimilators and Rogue Servitors with a lithoid subspecies
  will no longer have their farming segment vaporize.

* Operation event "Smear Campaign Exposed" now makes references to the proper empires in its description.
* Reworked the final step of the Vultaum, Yuht, First League, Irassian, and Cybrex precursor chains. They now provide a one-day Special Project on the discovered homeworld rather than the last event being fired on-survey.

* Fixed information for resource gain from Commercial Pacts while proposing it showing the information the wrong way around, i.e. it would say the other side would get what you would get and vice versa.

* The Criminal Syndicate civic now also grants +1 Codebreaking.
* Reduced the alloy discount of GDF ships to 25% but added an extra 10% discount to the resolution that expands the GDF.
