[Art]

[UI]

• Try out the new UI! Go to Options->Game and check the “New UI” checkbox to try it out. Players experiencing interface slowdowns should try this out to see if this fixes the problem. We do not recommend using it for competitive play because it is missing a number of major features, but we are working hard to get it ready for beta 7. Please give us feedback on what you think!

• Hovering over a resource will expose that resource’s list of associated buildings.

• Fixing “$8.100” incorrect stock price formatting.

[Audio]

• New state-based music added! There is an option added to the Options->Audio where you can listen to the new track. The music will change as you progress through the game (mainly upgrading your colony). The track is added to the rotation of the other music, so it will happen sometimes at random.
