Balance Update
2026-09-13
- We’re tightening economy and expeditions so new universes stay competitive and readable.
- Expeditions
- Expedition finds are now capped by progress, not by how huge your fleet is. Bigger fleets no longer mean endless reward scaling.
- Cheap scout ships contribute less to expedition power.
- Auto-expeditions follow the same rules as manual ones.
- Resource finds no longer scale off empire-wide production spikes.
- Economy & growth
- Production bonuses have clearer limits so stacked perks don’t explode output.
- Research is a bit slower relative to building, so tech doesn’t race ahead of the rest of the game.
- New players start leaner on colonies; you still expand through normal play — no artificial hard wall.
- Megastructures
- Ringworlds, Decompressors, and Dyson spheres still matter — they’re Stella’s identity — but they’re tuned down so they feel like late-game goals, not free double-economy.
- Ringworlds give a solid boost, not an automatic full double of mine output.
