Continuation of Megastrucutres and Cryosleepers (20.10.2024)

Hello hello hello. Today we are going to talk further about megastructures and cryosleeper changes in upcoming 3.0 patch for Cryosleeper options.

Megastrucutres of Persean Sector

In previous patch we have discussed mechanics themself about megastructures, today we are going to unveil some of upcoming special structures.

Nidavelir Complex

This one was planned for Orion Sector, but instead I decided to add this to Vaults of Knowledge. Such complex once restored will give huge bonuses towards ship production in your faction, basically planet with such structure a perfect candidate for your industrial heart of empire.

Eye of Heimdall

As you can see, yes I have been influenced by Norse Mythology a lot, now moving on, this structure will be sensor array on steroids, basically giving such huge range of detection in your system, that nothing will go unnoticed.

Explorarium Central Hub

This structure will be automatically surveying star systems for you! Sending Derelict fleets to survey systems for potential colonization, twist of this one, is that will be probably only one megastructure that will be in fixed system, so always in same position! But it will be heavily guarded by a lot of derelict fleets!

Cryosleeper 3.0 : Changes

A new reworked version of Cryosleeper Options is around corner, so I will give some sneak peaks about rework.

Awakening is an Event!

In previous versions awakening have only given size 7 or 8 colonies and it was just waiting 180 days. In this instance it will be like a sort of crisis event, with stages, each one giving you unique reward

Sometimes it might be very experienced officer, or someone who have military knowledge lost to collapse , or some special colony items , etc etc. A lot of events will be also tied to Vaults of Knowledge, giving some unique technologies that wont appear on tech tree!

Tip the scale in name of other faction

In 3.0 you will be granted ability to give cryosleeper to other faction, for quite good sum of money and for some factions, maybe with some unique rewards

Continuation of sprite replacement

This time we have replaced Subsidized farming sprite, thanks to CY for sprite!

Subsidized Farming

Slowly towards goal

Slowly Ashes of The Domain is growing more and more into mod, that fits into my vision, in terms of colony changes. It is officially 1.5 year passed since first release of Cryosleeper 2.0 : Domain Electric Boogallo Edition

This overhaul has been and still is crazy journey for me, given time that have passed. So I thank those who are still with me, supporting my endeavours as modder.

For now this is end of this dev diary, in next one we will discuss current progress on AI model that it is being trained for Vaults of Knowledge 3.0,where task of such AI will be much better colony management for AI, with being able to use VOK structures.

Have a nice day everyone
