StationMaster 2 [v0.13.3] By StationmasterDev

v0.13.3

Research
Research is now a critical aspect of growing your empire. There are two parallel research trees:

• Technology research is done by slaves on your station, in collaboration with researchers across your empire. This unlocks new technologies like ships, drugs, and high-tech decor.
• Social change is driven by the Ministry of Thought. Growing acceptance for your social direction unlocks edicts, entertainments, and more efficient lifestyles for your people.

New Structures

• There are now over a hundred main structures, not including artifacts or decorations. The vast majority are entirely new or heavily modified from the ones that existed before.
• New assignments for sex training, porn production, racing, lethal and nonlethal combat, research, and public humiliation.
• I won’t list them all, but the screenshots show a few.

Story

• Several new events and chains, some in the main quest, some attached to research, and some just because.
• Events that imply a vast empire have been tweaked to only appear later in the game.
• Events appear more often in general.
• Added option for “Stop asking me about nicknames.”

Galaxy Map

• System upgrades now matter much more, and their effects are laid out in more detail on the Holdings screen.
• If star obedience gets too low, strikes can stop all output for a time.
• If a star is striking for too long without military support, it can break away entirely.
• Systems now only send tributes if you have a policy that tells them to, and different policies send different types of tributes.

Rules Assistant

• Added a button to run a rule immediately, which shows a log of every action the rule performed.
• You can now run rules immediately from the inspection screen.
• Added “Idle” precondition, which is useful for automatic load balancing.
• Added preconditions for fetish and fetish strength.
• Added “Does not have tag” precondition.
• Added actions for sleeping assignments and vat overrides.
• Added button to clone rules.

Tweaks

• Slaves can now have sleeping assignments, which restrict them to either the bunks, the new slave apartments, or the beds on the palace deck.
• All decks and the galaxy map now have their own music.
• Added build animations.

• Pleasure deck billboards are now less obtrusive, and can be disabled in the policies pane.
• Hovering over a structure now gives you information about what it is, and who is using it.
• Modified and clarified the impact of appeal on tourism. The economic report displays the effects in detail.
• Different classes of citizens now do different jobs, and the economic report now breaks them out.
