Changelog

Rover Improvements


• Rover Interface scales better for higher resolutions.
  
• 'Orientation' dropdown added where you can select a quadrant. You can also see in which quadrant the rover currently is located and toggle an 'autoswitch' feature that will rotate the map if you move to another quadrant.
  
• For people who have trouble with the rover movement being consistent with the map coordinates rather than aligning with the camera: You still have to deal with inverted axis if you change hemispheres, but the axis will invert at straight angles. This makes it much easier to get adjusted to the control scheme.
  
• Reset button added to focus back on the north pole with the original orientation.
  
  General Improvements
  
  
• Character Generator now has a help screen.
  
• When loading or saving, the save/load menu autocloses.

  Fixes

• You can no longer save an empty file.
  
• Typing a name no longer triggers hotkeys.
  
• Viewing a help screen pauses the game.
  
• Timeline help screen fixed for all resolutions.
  

Improvements


• More robust time management. The game pauses during timelapse events and most dialogue. This prevents event overlap and gives the player time to read.
  
• The interface is more streamlined. ESC closes the current window and pauses the game if no windows are open, search and construction panels are clearer, etc.
  
• Hotkeys added for the toolbar, general actions and dialogue options. Check the 'Keyboard Reference' help screen from the help drop-down when hitting F1 to learn more.
  
• 'Overlay Menu' added so you don't have to quit to the main menu as often anymore.
  
• Dialogue screen scaling more high-res friendly.
  
• Camera settings stored in save game.
