## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.3 — 2024-08-05

Beyond Patch Notes - v1.1.3 - Save The Plants!
--- Fixed a bug that prevented Solanum Seed Ejector from property ejecting new ships when building. 
--- Reduced Solanum Enrich cost to 100%, from 125%.

### 1.1.2 — 2024-07-08

Beyond Patch Notes - Bug Fixification

--- Fixed a bug that could prevent the Intel and Tech menus from opening when on a 1 human player custom game.

### 1.1.1 — 2024-06-15

Beyond Patch Notes - v1.1.1 - Changing The Oil For Improved PewPewPew!
Under The Hood
--- Enemy AI optimizations to speed things up when there are a lot of baddies. 
--- Game Engine Upgrade: This should have no effect on anything... 
--- Apple App Store Backend Upgrade: Bringing it up to snuff for the future. \o/
--- Quite a few code optimization adjustments to go along with these updates. 

Fixing The BLARG Code 
--- Custom Game Menu bug fixes to show the proper number of enemies after reducing to one planet. On mobile, when changing from enemy to human, prevents selection of an unavailable species.
--- Fixed a bug that could cause a game to end prematurely if no ships were present at the end of a turn. 
--- Yet more black hole edge case bug fixes... These stellar pieces of junk.

Mostly Meaningless
--- Updated Game IDs for Custom Games. 
--- Adjusted Probes on Mobile Nano Extractor graphic to not block HP and AP display.

### 1.1.0 — 2024-05-29

New Features 
--- Custom Games: Now you have the ability to fine tune your games, picking specific percentages for map generation, number of human players, number of enemies, individual enemy species, and individual enemy difficulty.
--- Local PvP: With custom games comes the ability to play locally with up to 12 human players. When playing with multiple humans, a Dialog Window will appear between human player turns so that control of the device can be passed to the appropriate player. Of course, if you don't feel the need for secrecy, you can turn off "Next Human Player Dialog Window" in the settings menu, to jump straight to the next player.

Balance Changes 
--- Along with the Custom Games comes the ability to crank the difficulty way up beyond what was ever intended (because why not?). Because of this, a hard cap was added to Ship Maneuverability at 90%. We'll be watching out for any other stats that get too bonkers in the future as well.

### 1.0.17 — 2024-05-05
