• Update 2.2.1 - Reset except Starter system, Andromeda made PvE, Economy overhaul - 13 May 2026

  The server has been reset back to just starter systems.This should be the last reset, so it's probably the last chance to play on a fresh server with a mostly even playing field. Big changes this time around: A PvE space for players -Andromeda is completely PvE now, so people can expand outside the starter system without worrying about having their stuff destroyed by players.Milky Way remains open PvP and fleet battles vs players now give the winner one of the destroyed ship's modules, so there are some stakes. Planet Marketplace -The Credit economy system has been overhauled to make producing consumables and selling them to workers and tourists more of a vital part of the game, and contribute to a "Planet Marketplace" level. Providing services like medical facilities and comms satellites contributes to it too.What this means in practice is if you provide all the consumable types, you c…

  List of Changes: Plasma cannon ability added and Basilisk alien plasma cannon ship made buildable for completing starship datadrive raid.Plasma cannon is like nuke but instead of having the defense down debuff it just deals more damage.

• Update 2.0.0 Released! 3D Land battles + PvP rebalancing + Fresh Start. - 1 August 2025

  Land Battles OverhaulThe 3D land battles update mentioned in the previous annoucement is finished and live. I'm going to copy a lot of the stuff from the last announcement and put it here plus any additional changes made since that post.Fresh Start + Final SeasonAlong with the land battle improvements, this update comes with a fresh start for the server, which is something it seems at least half the playerbase wants. (And the land units are changed in a way that busts everyone's ground defenses.)PvP Balance ChangesStar Movement Freedom:Starmap level FTL blocking seems a bit overpowered, allowing one person to wall off an entire section of space for themselves. (Which is how it was intended to work)With the goal of removing stuff that makes it easy for large corporations to snowball, and reduce the need for seasons to level the playing field again,Overclocking FTL disruptors to block sta…

• Next Update: Land Battles Overhaul + Fresh Start + Final Season + Beta - 20 July 2025

  Land Battles OverhaulThe next major update changes land battles from entirely 2D UI based to 3D with land units that can rank up and be built out with modules like ships.This update is continuing along the lines of trying to improve the things players say are the weakest links in the game. (With the last update being highly requested 3D buildings instead of 2D icons.) Fresh Start + Final SeasonAlong with the land battle improvements, this update will ultimately come with a fresh start for the server, which is something it seems at least half the playerbase wants. (And the land units are changed in a way that busts everyone's ground defenses.)What this means: The game was supposed to be seasonal with really long "seasons", that's why it said "Welcome to Andromeda Season 2" when you login.The idea was to give everyone a fresh start once things start stagnating (Which could take years), an…

• Update 1.3.2 Released - 1 June 2025

  New backend system for loading assets implemented for loading 3D buildings to hopefully reduce RAM use to help people with low end devices. Defenses and invade screen not working with 2D buildings enabled fixed. Empty sector "slabs" are now hidden unless the planet stats / sector stats screen is open. Performance pass over textures, Materials and LODs. Clicking a sector slot on the planets owned screen now move camera to the sector. Citadel damage lowered from 10x to 5x; Lights on lots of 3D buildings adjusted. Bugs with sectors fixed. Bug where clicking a planet slot with the "My Corp" screen open didn't close the MyCorp screen or remove the ship interior fixed. Bug fixed where opening the Dump Resources screen would unhide the planet behind the menu and it was occasionally possible for it to receive clicks through the UI and open other screens.

• Andromeda 2025 Revamp - 30 May 2025

  The game has proper 3D now with 3D cityscapes that stick out from the surface of planets instead of 2D icons. The cityscapes or Sectors as they are called in-game have 4 different growth stages from Tier 1: All the way to Tier 4: The 3D revamp includes orbital structures as well: It's also possible to switch back to the old 2D icons by disabling 3D buildings in settings if you prefer the old style. The sector stats screen was updated from being fullscreen to having the middle open so you can see skyscrapers be added when you upgrade a sector. The 3d buildings being added required quite a bit of optimizations to get keep the game running smoothly even on phones, tablets, and low end PCs, so behind the scenes this update comes with new culling tech to hide meshes and lightsources behind other objects, and handle LODs in an intelligent way that Unity doesn't do well out of the box. A "Shop…

• Update 1.2.6 Released - 14 May 2025

  Changes: Game Engine updated to latest LTS release. (Unity 2022.3) Star visuals improved significantly. Planet ring visuals improved. On Android this engine update fixed a crash on launch issue with new devices. I plan on putting some development time into Andromeda, so I'm getting this update out to make sure there are no hidden issues with the engine update before making more changes.

• Update 1.1.8 Released - 13 June 2022

  Andromeda starmap white square fixed. Reflection Quality dropdown added in settings with 6 settings from "Off" to "Very High" (2048x2048). Reflection performance improved by making it use one reflection probe and passing it around, using half the RAM. Citadel radar disk not receiving light fixed. Earth being white fixed.

• Update 1.1.7 Released - 12 June 2022

  This update is mainly to fix bugs from the engine upgrade. Some of these might already have been listed in the "Quick fix" patch that was only released on Steam. Crashing caused by engine upgrade fixed. (hopefully) Sleazy Steve's shop not showing prices fixed. Some objects rendering blue fixed. Baked shadows on ship interior being messed up fixed. Missiles and other misc. shaders improved. Stellar Rep EXP fixed. Fixed the resource trackers on the bottom to display how much was earned offline. Reflections on ships adjusted. Planet Destruction and Creation lowered to 5 minutes in starter. Null reference exception when attempting to increase the level of a leader without a planet selected fixed. Performance improved significantly by disabling shadows that somehow got enabled from the engine update in the last build. It looks the same with and without shadows since you never really see shad…

• Client Modified to fix a crash at logout - 5 June 2022

  Quick fix for crash upon logout, sleazy steve UI bug fixed, and a few other small fixes.

• Update 1.1.6 Released - Engine Update - 27 May 2022

  This Update mostly updates the game engine to the latest version and hopefully fixes all the stuff that broke during the update. The goal with the engine update was to fix UI scrolling offscreen on some devices, but I'm sure it includes lots of other improvements on the engine side. Other changes: Advanced Detectors changed from finding Ore on all slots on a planet to: Slots with Mines refill Ore. Slots with Quarries refill Quartz. Slots with Gem Harvesters refill Gems. Slots with Gas Harvesters refill Gas. Mining ship build cost changed to not require Super Alloy. Bazaar text typos fixed.

• Season 2 started! Update 1.1.5 Released. - 23 May 2022

  I'm making the game seasonal and doing a server reset for season 2 since the player count is pretty low and tons of people are requesting a reset. The seasons will be really long, like a year or more since it's the type of game it is. I'm going to add stuff that is carried over from one season to another such as titles to lessen the feeling of "What's the point of doing anything if it's all going to be lost", and the starter system will be more customizable and kept between seasons. Existing alliances will also be kept. Time Crystals purchased will also be re-added. I'm not just doing a server reset though, a lot of work has been put into the update that will come with it. The reset will come with the 1.1.5 update which adds: Passive credit income added back. Stellar Rep leveling reworked to cost Credits since any positive income will become Credits now. (So Honorariums removed) Reworke…

• Update 1.1.4 Released! - 21 November 2021

  Changelog: Ship weapon and module slot counts fixed on production screen. Worker counts on the corp stats rounded to 2 digits instead of 4. Alien ships not staying unlocked fixed. Bug fixed where Gas Extractor addon 3 doesn't show the cost. Sound effect added for when lightning beam is activated. Nuke and ship explosions sounds swapped so nukes have the most powerful explosion sound. Bug fixed where the close screen sound tried to play after the guide was closed and the sound source was disabled. Bug where tab to open star and plant count on the starmap stays enabled after opening the slide-out fixed. Inconsistencies with habitat and resort max population numbers being 4.5m instead of 45m on building stats screen fixed. Guide updated to fix some of the vestigial instructions that are no longer good advice, like building a greenhouse early. I made a new page on the "Guides" screen that h…

• 1.1.3 Released! - 16 October 2021

  Chapter 2 of the campaign and the second raid added. Most alien ships buildable. Some new alien ships added to fill out the alien ship roster. NPC fleet generation made a little smarter by making it not add Energy Cores on ships that don't have any use for energy. I got tired of how you couldn't double click an asteroid to access the "return to starter planet" and other navigation arrows, so I made double clicking asteroids open the planet stats screen just like a normal planet. Bug fixed where Military Budget still showed that it was costing even when the ship was mothballed fixed. EMP ship lightning weapon damage boost raised from 10% to 20%, and a bug where Lightning Beam wasn't being boosted fixed. Small visual improvement: Engines hand tweaked for each individual ship to look as good as possible and clip with the ship body less. Randomization added to make the engine effects look m…

• Update 1.1.2 Released! - 10 September 2021

  Update 1.1.2 Released on 9/8/21: Reflections added to ships and planets. Lighting overhauled to be much darker and more realistic. Text clickable on top bar and planet stats screen with either help boxes or convenience actions. I plan on making text on more screens clickable in future updates. Ship Deck reflections being cleared when opening and closing the logs screen and other screens fixed. Planet cache system reworked. Dead land units showing up in inventory fixed. AI not using focus fire on the correct ships fixed. Another layer of AI Focus fire decision making added, prioritizing ships that are using repair or shield beam rather than just lowest HP.

Click the Star Name on the top bar or in the planet stats screen to jump straight to…

• 1.1.1 Hotfix - 26 August 2021

  This update will be shorter to fix the notifications not popping up bug. I'm going to try to get as many other fixes in as possible. Notifications not popping up fixed. Aqua and Relgar moon names being swapped fixed. Bug where music/combat volume doesn't stay where you put it unless you quit the application after setting it fixed. Planets owned screen opening speed being much slower after the first time you open it fixed. FPS improved significantly on the Planets Owned Screen and other screens with scrolling. Loading message when opening the starmap added to make it look less like it froze up while it's loading the starmap. Starting module category being set to 0 and freaking it out if you tried to scroll without selecting a category first fixed.
