This update brings exciting new features and balance changes, including:

• Six Planet Types – Each with unique income profiles
• Reworked Resource Costs – More strategic decision-making
  • Metal – Used for building ships and orbitals
  • Gas – Fuels technological research
  • Energy – Needed for colonization, planet upkeep, and unit activation
