== Early Access Patch Version:  0.6.17.5831 - March 5th, 2021==
===Related Game Announcement===
<blockquote>
Hi engineers,
We were just astonished to find that the power generation and power consumption of the facilities remained unchanged after a 'quick upgrade'. It is a bug and we are going to fix it soon.
We're sorry to inform that a decline in the electric power supply should be expected after the bug fix, and it may result in large-scale blackouts. Please understand that Centrebrain executes no half measures. So, Engineers! Please prepare your power supply plan and develop the power grid in advance to overcome the upcoming Centrebrain's firmware update.
We will also be adding a function for you to see how the savedata is adjusted after the game version is updated.
Thank you for understand and support!<br>

===A message from the developers===
<blockquote>
Hi Engineers!
CentreBrain is ready for the bug fixes!
</blockquote>
===Bugfix:===
*Fixed the bug where the facility power consumption was not upgraded after a 'quick upgrading'.
*Fixed the bug where the facility animations were not upgraded after a 'quick upgrading'.
*Added a function of 'Savedata Modification' log. You will be able to look up how your savedata was adjusted after the game updates. We added it In order to prevent the similar situation in the future and reduce some impact of facility data adjustment.
<p>
{{Note Box|To rephrase the issue that was fixed here, if you used the 'quick upgrade' feature to upgrade an Assembler or Sorter prior to this patch, it did not properly adjust the power requirement to the newly upgraded version. This patch fixes that issue, and will therefor result in any Assembler or Sorter upgraded in that manner, to cost you more power. This could impact your powergrid loads.}}

== Early Access Patch Version:  0.6.17.5827 - March 4th, 2021==
===A message from the developers===
<blockquote>
Hi Engineers!
Here comes our first update in March. And, an important functional update is also coming soon!
</blockquote>

===A Message From The Developers===
<blockquote>
Dear Engineers,
How’s your galaxy factory going?
It has been a week since the launching of Dyson Sphere Program. We’re so glad that Dyson Sphere Program can be liked by such a lot of players, and didn't expect it to reach 350,000 sold copies in one week! It's such a surprise that both encouraged us and pressure us. At the moment, the team is still busy in the game development and debugging to answer the support questions we have received from every single individual, and to make the game have less problems and more fun.
Your expectation on Dyson Sphere Program's potential was provided to us by the feedback and suggestions. Don't worry, most of the expectations are already in our roadmap. But Rome wasn't built in A day, neither the 'Combat', 'Assembly Space Platform' or 'Workshops'.
Today we are going to tell 'what we are going to done before Chinese New Year' (the holidays will begin at 11th February). Most of them are the burning problems from your feedback. Let's take a look:
</blockquote>
===What we are going to done before 11th February?===
* Quick Upgrade: You will be able to upgrade some of the buildings and conveyors by directly build (cover/overlap/displace) the higher grade facilities on the lower grade facilities, instead of demolish the lower grade one in advance.
* Keybinding: It's a very important function for many of you, engineers. We will finish it before 11th February.
* Framework of logistics management system: A basic management framework will be setup to the logistics system. Of course, it will be still 'basic' at February that may only bring 'basic' logistic solution for you, such as the farthest transportation distance and the quantity requirement of delivering goods. The logistic system will be fleshed with the progress of game development in the future.
* A more detailed Game Development Roadmap will be published after Chinese New Year holidays. Tons of contents you are looking forward are included in it - such as "Combats", "Assembly Space Platform", "Workshops", etc.
At the end of the letter, from the bottom of our heart, thank you!!!
===Feature===
Smart Warp: From now on, your mecha will not miss or hit on the planet - It will decelerate and turn off the warp engine automatically as it approaches to a planet in warp. Thanks to the latest warp firmware!
===Bug Fix===
* Fixed the bug where sometimes the vessels can't catch up with the planets with a fast revolution.
* Fixed the bug where sometimes the rockets can't catch up with the Dyson Sphere with a fast rotation.
* Fixed the bug where sometimes the mecha walked with the wrong VisualFX and SoundFX.
* Fixed the accumulator UI layout so that the words don't overlap
===Game Setting===
*Now you have more choices on Max FPS Options, such as 30fps, 144fps, etc.
==Early Access Patch Version:  0.6.15.5655==
<blockquote>
A message from the Developers:
Hi engineers,
Thanks to all of your efforts, the amount of Dyson Sphere is increasing in the galaxy while the bugs are vanishing one after another. Your support are encouraging us to move forward. Thank you!
</blockquote>
===Improved:===
*You will find that the UI is running more smoothly in manual research, technology tree and research queue than before. The UI efficiency has been optimized 0.5ms/frame.
===Bug Fixes:===
*Fixed a bug where the distance may not judged correctly while constructing a logistic station.
==Early Access Patch Version:  0.6.15.5651==
===A message from the Developers===
<blockquote>
We wonder that if our dear engineers still stay up late after the CentreBrain have release the clock from real life yesterday. Engineers, remember to take care of yourselves, improve their immunity and eat good, rest good.
*A Prompt: if you can't launch the game with a "not responding" error under Windows 10 system, we suggest to check Window Update to get the latest Windows 10 version. It is known that Windows 10 1709 version may not be able to run Unity engine games.
</blockquote>
===Feature===
*The advisor is bringing 2 new guidelines for you.
*Add a readable XML file for game option saving. This file can solve the game crash caused by an error on initial game options while launch the game.
*Add a path override file which can be used to solve the problem that some players are not able to launch the game due to the system disk directory.
(If you can't start the game, try the following steps: Find [Game installation path / config/ path.txt ], fill in 'archive' in [path.txt], save and exit it. and then start the game again.)
===Changed===
*Some texture and map have been modified in order to adapt to certain resolutions
===Balanced===
*The probability of [[Deuterium Fractionation_(Tech)|Deuterium Fractionation]] has been increased from 0.5% to 1% (only apply to the new facilities build after this patch)
*Increase the generating capacity of Dyson swarm from 30kW/[[Solar Sail]] to 36kW/Solar Sail
== Early Access Patch Version:  0.6.15.5642 ==
===A message from the Developers===
<blockquote>
Hey Engineers!
How is everything going? A reminder before today's update note: It's ok for you to sneak off for a travel, but a long-distance travel without enough fuel and warp flight may not be a good idea. (The exhausted Icarus will float in the universe for a while to recover its power.) Anyway, out team will look into the early stage travel and see what we can do for it.
</blockquote>
