This long delayed update of Unknown Skies offers an all-reworked, vastly expanded selection of backgrounds, as well as some tweaks to the special planetary conditions.
[RC2] Fixed Underground Maze tooltip, added save-patching code.
The main event are the new backgrounds: 69 new system backdrops (nice), some reworked from the previous 27, but most entirely new. They are more consistent in quality, often darker and softer as to not be a distraction in combat.
Some of the rarer planet types and conditions have been made unique with reworked/amplified effects. These include Artificial, Magnetic and Perpetual Storm planets, Parasitic Spores, Xeno-fungus and Lingering Virus conditions.
One new uncommon condition has been added: Chemical Crystals can show up on toxic worlds, improving the Luxury Goods production. Now these usually undesirable planets can have at least something going for them.
Other miscellaneous improvements include externalized strings to ease the work of translators, and expandable background lists for 3rd party sub-mods.
This update is save-compatible
