For the first update in 2022 we wanted to do something different and provide our Fermi Paradox streamers with a feature to integrate Twitch into the game. If you want to connect your Twitch account with The Fermi Paradox follow these instructions.
To make Twitch streaming more comfortable we also added an autoplay function, that automatically select random flares or even lets your twitch chat decide on every single event.
Also we added new artworks for our starships and depending on the species different kinds of starship layouts are used now.
Changelog of Version 0.65.A.7 - Phobos UPDATE ( contains spoilers )

Mars Update - 0.64 - Faster Than Light Technology & Three Ocean Planet Species
Dear Fermi Community,
We celebrate the end of 2021 with our new Mars update. This time we go Faster Than Light with a new post-Singularity technology level The Superluminal Age.
Our community voted for the name of a new species The Quasis ; they will join their evolutionary neighbours in the Ross System : The Frenner and The Shivan.
Many players asked us to add the possibility to trigger another evolution event after a sapient species died out. Once per game life will get a second chance to evolve again between the ruins of their precursors.
Additional we added modern outfits for all playable species that are shown from the Nautical Age to the Cyber Age and added a lot of events for aquatic species. Also we fixed some bugs ...

New Species “Frenner from the Ross System” marine squid people
New Species “Quasis from the Ross System” giant anemone beasts

Technological Level 12 “Construct jump gates that allow faster-than-light travel, enable instant interplanetary communication; black hole harvesting; and antimatter creation”
14 new Modern Outfits for all Species that are shown in the Industrial Age, Nuclear Age, Digital Age and Cyber Age ( Dolphins, Dinosaur, Damanis, Erbori, Bautir, Esh, Kular, Dorloth, Prun, Rao, Kaar, Maru, Odo, Rama )
Second Chance Evolution Feature : If a civilization goes instinct on its homeplanet; there is a rare possibility that a evolution event is triggered again - In this evolution event the two previous species of this planet can evolve again and the extinct species is replaced by Primates ( balanced ) Felines ( default ) or Scorpios ( unbalanced )

Balancing : 5 Singularity Civilizations are now needed to reach the Singularity Tech Ending
Balancing : The timespan between Evolution events was reduced
Balancing : A lot of events that make no logical sense on water planets, for aquatic creatures or plant beings and are blocked for these situations ( this is an ongoing process and we will continue to finetune these issues )
Bugfix : Sometimes the “Graveyard Galaxy” Ending was not triggered when a Refugee Fleet was created and all species died out afterwards. This is fixed now.
Bugfix : It is not possible to generate unlimited Flares anymore when circling through civilization when an Event is ready
Bugfix : Flares should not permanent stay on the screen anymore if you switch very fast between a system and the galaxy
Bugfix : Banished Refugee Fleets should now have the correct system names in their description
Bugfix : Same old savegames showed blank pictures of Rama, Maru & Odo - this issue is fixed.
Bugfix : Colony Names sometimes don't have variable names in capital letters added anymore.
Bugfix - After saving a game the names of dead civilizations are not replaced by the colony civilization anymore.
Attention ! Save Game Compatibility Issues - Save Games of older versions will not trigger evolution events on Planet Ross or the Second Chance Evolution. Also savegames, that were saved while an event was active might show the wrong picture of this particular event.
Demo available during IndieCade, GIC / PGA (Poznan) and Utopiales (Nantes)
