Hey everyone!
The holidays are drawing near and it looks like the Stegosaurus is already getting into the spirit. That means that we have some presents for you of course; this time in the shape of an update that contains some heavily requested features by the community, like Auto explore! Besides these, the update contains a series of fixes and updates. Thanks for your continued feedback and support! Enjoy!
V1.104 - Stegosaurus 2
Feature: Auto-Explore
Armies can now be set to 'auto-explore', this means that they will scout around the planet on their own; picking up resources along the way. These armies will no longer appear in your to-do events; allowing you to focus on other tasks.
Feature: Tactical Operations Toggle
When engaging in combat, commanders can now decide whether Tactical Operations will be used during Auto Combat.
