• Two accounts have been permanently banned over the deliberate, and malicious, abuse of a bug without reporting the bug in question and refusing to cooperate in tracking the issue down.
  If you find a bug, issue, or broken mechanic, please report it to me either on the Steam forums or Discord!
  Nobody who reports an issue will ever be punished. But deliberately keeping bugs hidden and refusing to cooperate with me in tracking the issue down, while continuing to abuse it, will make my patience run out very fast.
  

• Cancelling a recipe now refunds any resources it had collected and flagged
  
• Buildings now have an internal max transfer rate based on demand (See NOTES A)
  
• Recipes are now processed in two stages, Collecting and Producing
  • A Recipe will Collect needed resources as fast as possible from the building stockpile and is not affected by Production modifier
    
  • Once enough resources have been gathered the recipe enters the Producing stage which lasts 30 seconds and is affected by Production modifiers

• A) This does not change the rate at which resources are transferred FROM a building to the planet per minute, it only distributes it over the whole minute instead of in bursts.
  This does affect how fast resources are transferred TO a building, from the planet and neighbouring buildings, based on how much of a resource the building wants.
  The previous behaviour of Recipes completing as fast as possible was unintended, and they should now complete once per minute if supplied with enough materials.
  

• Recipes now need the full amount of listed materials before they're processed
  
• Citadel now provides 8 Transfer capacity, up from 5
