Star Ruler Update Released

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

Fixed:

• New treaty notification icon was not disappearing when opening the empire window.
• Ship build cost would not appear in the hover information on planets with no empty slots.
• Holding shift while clicking a top bar button would not correctly open a new window of that type.
• Automation orders did not import from exported designs.
• Could not select the shipyard world governor in the planet window.
• Large odd numbers of flags in the race customization window would make the last flag disappear.
• Divide by zero crash when adding 4 or more shipsets.
• Automatic blueprint updates would reset automation orders.
• Heavy Hull level was too high, causing it to have much more hitpoints than the other hull types.
• Negative mood did not display correctly in the planet window.
• Items in the pinned list would still display after returning to the main menu.
• Random freeze/crash caused by a deadlock. Frequently appeared when lots of scouts were auto-exploring at the same time.
• GUI Elements could disappear in some situations (chat box when working in the layout window, scrollbar in system window).
• Shipborne factory systems would use up resources even if there was no place to store what was being fabricated.
• Fixed a bug in multiplayer clients that would cause weirdness and instability.
• Planetary bunkers weren’t correctly absorbing damage.
• Fixed timestamps on saves being off by one hour (or worse).

• Object list’s filter box is now case-insensitive.
• Added Ere4s3r’s corrected smoothing groups to the Neumon.
• Cargo storage no longer always unlocks Armor at level 4 by paying the link cost.

• Reworked Coolant System to cause more significant increases in weapon firing rates, but also dramatically increase running costs for the connected weapon.
• Flak range and delay now scale the same as all the other weapons.

• "Declare war if this treaty fails" clause. If the treaty fails due to either party having insufficient resources, declare war now.
• "End all existing treaties" clause. If accepted, all previous treaties are nullified.
• "Ammo lifetime damage" stat to detailed statistics page. Shows how much damage a full load of ammo can do before being depleted.
• "Supply Resource" automation order. Used for tankers to automatically supply ships with fuel.

• Making the research window small enough now hides the queue.
• The empire window now loses information in the top area more gradually when resized down.
• When hovering over a system, the name is colored the same as the ring.
• The top left ticker now displays research rate.
• Holding shift while pressing the import button in the blueprints window attempts to import all designs in the profile.
• Blueprints in the planet and system windows can now be sorted.
• Blueprints sort can now differentiate between ascending and descending.
• Add option to sort planets in system window by name, slots or governor.
• Link icons in research window are hidden on zoom levels smaller or equal to 0.30x.
• The top left ticker displays research progress by coloring the text from left to right.
• Percentage complete is now shown behind the name of the current building item in the planet window.
