Updates & Bug Fixes

• Due to some changes to NSC features, we recommend starting a new game with this update, however it shouldn't break save games, but it could possibly cause unknown issues.
  


• Updated the mod code for Stellaris 3.13. At this time, it does not appear that we need to do anything for compatibility with the new DLC.
  


• We have removed all NSC changes to the orbital rings due to various bugs. We'll look into adding Orbital Ring content again once we iron out the issues.
  


• Fixed a reported bug where the Starbase Admin Office was adding a Politician job to the Synaptic Lathe, which prevented the Neural Chips jobs from displaying. Note: This fix will likely stop the building from providing any benefit to Cosmogensis world colonies.
  


• Fixed a bug where the Nanite Interdictor was not available for use when using NSC. (Note: The sections & stats for this ship have not been changed in any way from vanilla, we just added the missing code to the NSC files.)
  


• Fixed a bug with some Starbase Module tooltips showing the wrong build limit.
  


• New Building: Planetary Construction Office - This was added by community request, it functions similarly to the Starbase Construction Office except it boosts build speed for planetary buildings.
  

New Features & Feature Changes

• Changed the Frigate to be unlocked at the same time the first tier of Torpedoes are researched, so you don't have a ship with G slots that can't be filled. This will also unlock the Frigates a bit earlier in the game.
  


• Per community request, removed the AI bonus doctrine from the mod. NSC no longer gives any special bonuses to the AI, except for what comes with NSC components and modules and whatever is chosen in the Mod Menu.
  


• Changed the Mega Shipyard to have 50/75/100 shipyards at levels 1/2/3 respectively, to actually make it worth it to build given that NSC starbases can have a lot more shipyards than vanilla.
  


• Removed the Gateway tech requirement from the Hyperlane Manipulation tech. Now all you need is Mega Engineering to unlock the hyperlane manipulation stations.
  


• Changed the Hydroponics Farm from a Starbase Building into a Starbase Module with a build limit of 10 per starbase, per community request.
  


• Increased the build limit on Solar Panels from 6 to 10 on each starbase.
  


• Reduced the build time for the Galactic Hospital Levels 2 and 3 from 10 years to 2 years (10 years seemed a bit too long for a simple upgrade.)
  


• Added 2 new upgrade levels to the Galactic Hospital that each add more Diagnostician jobs at an increased upkeep cost. (Note: The model of the structure will not change for Levels 4 and 5 as we do not have any additonal models available.)
  

• Fixed a bug where the Nanite swarmer sections were missing.
  


• Fixed a bug that was causing the transport ship models for the new shipsets to not show up.
