0.70 - Philosophies

Philosophies are here!

Good Day Pioneers!  It has been a while since I made an update.  The bad news first, from now on none of the saves are going to work and a new game must be started either by perfoming a hard reset in the Save / Load Settings Menu or by simply choosing a new Pioneer Name and making a new Save.  Unfortunately I cannot migrate the changes  as the game is fundamentally shifted, as I will explain.  Apologies for this!

Now the good stuff...

This update is about Philosophies.  All the information is in the CosmicoPedia but let me break it down without giving too much away...

You will be asked to select a Philosophy at some point in the first run.  What is a Philosophy?  It is a direction your people will take, so once selected, it can never be changed.  Once selected, you will have access to a special ability and to repeatable techs, which will give you something to spend those left over Research points on, in exchange for huge stackable bonuses.  There are 4 to choose from, and they are permanent per save.

This is phase 1 of Philosophies and more content will be added soon, but as it is, it is pretty game changing.  I plan to add achievements with further bonuses for gaining these in the future, as well as  a bit of lore and narrative as we progress through our quest for the Stars!

Enjoy!
