This update brings an important change to the game - an overarching objective and final goal. Now you can ascend each level of technology and, from all you've made, create a Perfect Society whose people will never worry about anything again. Of course, if you want to continue building your empire afterwards, you'll be able to do that, too.
We're also bringing you some more bug fixes and UI improvements based on your feedback, including visual upgrades to much of the in-game HUD.
The current game version is 1.3#25.
Here is the complete list of changes since the last patch:
- Added an objective and an endgame (including a new achievement) - Polished and improved many elements in the planet, trade route, and spaceship UIs - Planet item capacities only restrict production, not ships uploading - Fixed the Cutting-Edge Business achievement being unattainable (thanks Ian / Zee!) - Added an "Interface Scale" slider for scaling the UI on high-DPI displays - Added a button to the ship UI to manually space cargo stacks (thanks chaleur) - Fixed a save-game loading bug that could cause all routes to disappear. Affected savegames are safe to load now. (thanks Nya) - Added three new planet types
Update 1.2 - Tech Tree Reskin and Interface
Hey, everyone! Thanks for your high-quality feedback since we launched the game two weeks ago. We're taking it all down and we've address many of your points in this patch. We've focused on improvements to the user interface in this patch, including a new, slick look for the Tech Tree window.
The current game version is 1.2#21.

Reskinned the Tech Tree window
New icons for Tech resource items
Improved the appearance of the Tech Tree, Save Menu, and Options Menu on ultrawide and other non-standard aspect displays (thanks Rhettorical)

Your available tech points for each level are displayed on the HUD (thanks tagwolf)
When a pending route is blocked, a message now explains what's blocking it (thanks rbr)
Added a Camera Pan Speed slider to the options menu (thanks nlunac)
Doubled the default camera pan speed (thanks nlunac)
Fixed a problem where clicks on the background would sometimes be dropped
Fixed clicking Cancel in the Delete Trade Route confirm box still deleting the route
Fixed not being able to pan the camera with a mouse drag while hovering an object
Fixed a permanent ghost node appearing at the mouse when saving and loading in trade route creation mode
Goods crates will no longer trail behind very fast ships indefinitely (a visual-only issue)
Fixed some typos in the tutorial
Increased scroll wheel sensitivity on the save/load menu
