[edit] What is new in Host.exe Version 4.000.213x

Fixed: Any time that a base checks for another base on the same planet, an extra check is now made to verify that the planet assigned to both bases match. This fixed some issues in: base chunnel notification to enemy bases, bases lost due to planetary explosions, Amorphous Worms attacking a base, Scavengers gathering stuff from natives, Cyborg assimilation of enemy bases,

[edit] September 25, 2008

[edit] What is new in Host.exe Version 4.000.213s

New: Solorian base log when heating up the planet with colonist popualation.

[edit] What is new in Host.exe Version 4.000.213j

Fixed: Due to an incorrect condition, a Solorian that has an alien hull would be able to refuel it if the hull ID was over 526. The intention was that alien hulls cannot be refueled and so this has been fixed.

[edit] May 01, 2008

[edit] What is new in Host.exe Version 4.000.213f

Changed: At the start of the game (turns 1 to 4) Solorian bases with 10k colonists will change the star (instead of 10,001 colonists).

[edit] What is new in Planets4.exe Version 4.000.064

New: Players must now designate a "ship yard" instead of the code choosing any base with a military space port on it. A "Y" toggle is available on the Base Overview screen. This setting will be retained from turn to turn. The settings of the pods launched changed to use boost and dock instead of boost and drop so that you can set an ally's base as the anvil and get the expected results. The way that this command observes "reserve levels" was broken and is now fixed. Solorians can no longer attempt to pod neutronium ore.

[edit] April 01, 2008

[edit] What is new in Host.exe Version 4.000.213

Fixed: When planets explode from high stress, the bases on them will be destroyed (including Solorian base) and messages will be sent. Cash, metals, ore, etc will no longer be present on the remaining asteroid.
Fixed: When the Solorians start on at a star better than a green binary then it won't be replaced.
Fixed: When you recycle a ship, the base will now get any cash, food, med units, and hull plans. Hull plans will only be transferred if the player race isn't Privateer, Solorian, Robot, or Crystal.

[edit] What is new in Host.exe Version 4.000.201

Fixed: When bases merge, the maximum number of natives of each type is limited to 50 million. The happiness of natives will merge based on the population of natives and their respective happiness level. Solorians will have their natives limited to 100 happiness. Colonist happiness and crime will merge based on the population and their respective happiness/crime levels. Crime will not exceed 1000. Ore, metals, fuel, food, med, contra, repair, and megacredits are limited to 1 billion. Repair units weren't merging previously. Base structures are limited to 10k. Personnel and prisoners are limited to 50 million. Queued builds will be merged. On/off status of buildings will be merge. Slider-bar settings of government center, ordnance plant, etc will be merged. Reserve levels will be set to the higher of the two bases.
New: Base Chunnel requires that the channeling ship have control system damage less than 50%. You can chunnel a base that is not at war with you if you match the friendly code of your ship to the base. A base command code of NCH will prevent base chunnel. An enemy player will receive a base log message when a base has channeled to the planet that they are on.

If the base has more than 300 Maelstroms the HD stress of the planet will actually be reduiced during the firing of the weapon.

[edit] What is new in Host.exe Version 4.000.085

New: Solorian: Stellar Matter Launcher building fires a blast of energy at space craft at a long distance. The device requires 500,000 ordnance units to fire. The planet must have a ship in orbit over the Ground Base with a Stellar Targeter turned on and a kill target set. The blast will be fired at the kill target object if it is in range. Firing the weapon causes 300 points of HD Stress in the planet under the Ground Base. The weapon fires after all movement is done and only can damage things in space, it does not damage Ground Bases. The device has a blast power of (5000 + 79 * (StarHeat * 6 - DistanceToTarget))/HullMass - GravMineFactorX. The more Gravitonic Minefields in the area of the planet firing the weapon or over the target planet the less damage the blast will do. The Launcher has a maximum range of Heat * 6 and has a blast radius of 10 LY. The power of the blast decreases by 10% every LY out from the blast center. Solorian craft are not immune from the blast.
