Here's an incomplete list of the things that need to be done, along with a rough estimate of how long they'll take:
- 2h - Full database backup DONE
- 6h - Overhaul Score calculation to be used for granting bonuses DONE
- 1h - Database and universe wipe and reset DONE
- 4h - Server hardware upgrade DONE
- 1h - Updated and added missing icons to Steam DONE
- 2h - General server maintenance DONE
- Countdown - Overhaul going live without some features, see note!
- Unknown - Dealing with poorly timed real life stuff as fast as I'm able
- 4h - Clean up database layout
- 2h - Verification of Overhaul game services and client
- 1h - Upload to Steam, write news posts, finalize patch notes

NOTE
Because real life things are still on-going I have decided to launch Overhaul even with some features being untested.
As part of this I have also decided to postpone some features, most notably the rewards from the wipe/reset.
Mechanics/features that are postponed:
- Reset/Wipe rewards
- Artifacts (Note that Artifacts are no longer used to unlock production or anything of the sort, they are not a required part of gameplay!)
- PvE and Planetary events will be fairly limited
- All new buildings
- All new resources
- All new production mechanics
- Hex-grid building placements with adjacency bonuses/effects
- Localized planetary resources (ex. some grids will be better for Mines)
Overhaul and reset soon!
But don't worry, as stated in the dev. diary you will receive some fair compensation for your divine works and accomplishments so far!
Overhaul
- As part of Overhaul there will be a complete wipe of the galaxy
Based on everything you have ingame on Overhaul day a score will be calculated. Depending on your score plus some random factors you will be rewarded with one or more of the following things:- Unique permanent Artifact(s)
- Unique permanent Planetary Modifier(s)
- Essence
- Resource caches with different contents that can be spent at will
- A temporary one-use planetary buff that increase population growth and resource output
Essence can be traded away to other players in the future
Permanent rewards may undergo balance, mechanical, or visual changes as the game is developed but they will not be removed! - Unique permanent Artifact(s)
- Greatly improved building mechanics
- Complete overhaul and revamp of Artifacts, modifiers, and their functions
- Complete revamp of production unlocks
- Complete revamp of goods production
- Many changes to resources and production chains
- Major UI improvements and changes
- New building construction system similar to classic RTS' (Less right click over and over)
- New building upgrade system based on adjacency
- Localized planet surface deposits based on planet stats
