Since the release of
X4: Cradle of Humanity and the
extensive 4.00 update for X4: Foundations, we've been hard at work on the next big steps for our game. Today, we are pleased to announce that the
4.10 update is now available to download.
The full list of changes in 4.10 is available
in our forum.
The new 4.10 update for X4: Foundations has become
more extensive than originally planned and has, therefore, taken a bit more time. However, we are convinced that the extra effort was worth it and that you will like the
numerous enhancements. In the 4.10 update we have, for example, improved the existing game feature of
Terraforming and, in response to feedback on the 4.00 update, we have fixed various issues in connection with
mining, trade and station management, among other things. We have also made improvements to the asset management of our graphics engine, resulting in
better use of graphics memory. You will notice some changes when
building stations, especially in terms of usability (more on this in
Inside Egosoft Podcast Episode 4).
Custom Game Start
The new Custom Game Start feature allows players of X4: Foundations to
customise certain starting conditions in the game, within limits that are set in order to maintain game balance. It is possible, for example, to influence factors such as available starting capital, sectors already explored, and relationships with other factions.
Episode 2 of the Inside Egosoft Podcast includes more details about the Custom Game Start feature.
We look forward to hearing your thoughts on the 4.10 update. We hope that you enjoy exploring the new possibilities and especially, of course, trying out the Custom Game Start feature. Rediscovering X4: Foundations with a change in starting conditions is definitely something you should experience.
Thank you for your continued support, and stay safe in space!
