Aluminium alloy
Studio Apartments structure was removed.

Structures with new models have been rebalanced in terms of cost and connections.
UX
Reworked system of undismissable notifications. They show up as selectable pins instead of a second row of notifications.
New sound for undismissable notifications.
New notifications for low food, water, oxygen and medicine. Their counters turn red when low.
Added idle/total construction workers count to the status bar.
Removed hope from status bar.
Hope is shown using a pin.
New pins are added to the top of the list instead of bottom.
Colony can be named before game starts.

Structures highlighted by tutorial are also highlighted using an icon to increase visibility.

Added resource icons to shuttle's fuel and oxidizer.
Added timestamps to tooltip of saved games.
A popup is shown when manually saving, showing whether the game is still saving.
The game automatically pauses when main menu is opened.
Balance
Rebalanced the amount of hope each objective provides. Earlier objectives give less, while later give more. Overall amount remained the same.
Rebalanced Greenhouse recipes. They produce less food per cycle, but the cycles are shorter, resulting in less water being stored in the Greenhouse. Overall production stayed the same, except for vegetables, where it was increased.
Increased Life Support Ancillary's water recycling capacity, so it can keep up with the necessary Greenhouses.
Construction Office no longer requires research and becomes available after Interim Steel Production objective.
Stockpiles are available earlier (after Interim Concrete Production objective)
Roads are available later (after Short-Term Survival objective)
Added new tasks to Shuttle Discovery objective to make it more obvious what needs to be done.
Increased research cost of Legume Agronomy from 500 to 1000.
Increased research cost of Vegetable Agronomy from 1000 to 2000.
Rebalanced Ceres cargo:
-100 electronic components
+80 pipes
+20 computers
Technical
Laptops with both integrated and dedicated GPUs should automatically switch to dedicated.
Logistics jobs can be combined even when a logistics vehicle is already on its way to pick up resources, resulting in greater logistics efficiency, especially when sending resources from cargo ships.
Removed crash backup saves. They were almost always corrupted.
Main menu music loops.
Structure placement ghosts should clip terrain less often in hilly areas.
Turning off UI visibility also turns off local notifications and cursor light.
Removed "For closed testing only" from the version number. This hasn't been true since the last version.
