#### DaVinci Update (06 August 2018)

##### New Feature - Creative Mode

* Creative Mode features a set of new game rules that allow you to enjoy a simpler playthrough with endless resources and everything unlocked. Added a Creative Mode option in the main menu which has these game rules on by default.
* Easy Maintenance - Buildings don't malfunction due to lack of maintenance
* Easy Research - Start with additional 3000 Research per Sol and all base techs revealed
* Fast Rockets - Rockets travel ten times faster
* Fast Scanning - Sector scanning is ten times faster
* Free Construction - Buildings don't require resources to be constructed (they still have construction time)
* Iron Colonists - Colonists can't lose Health or Sanity below 50 and they cannot become Earthsick
* More Applicants - 500 additional applicants
* Overfunded - Start with $100,000 M Funding

* Some of the new rules disable all Achievements.

##### New Feature – Desired Amount in depots & storages

* You can now set a desired amount in storages and depots. Drones will try to keep at least the desired amount of resources in depots and storages taking resources from other storages if need be.

* New UI – reworked the UI of depots and storages to allow the enabling/disabling of resources in depots more easily. The player can also enable/disable resources in all depots of the same type via Ctrl + Click

##### Changes to Power Networks

* Adjacent power producers & consumers will now connect to each other without the need for a cable.

##### New Feature – Follow Camera for vehicles and colonists

##### Balance Changes

* Reworked default initial rocket cargo for all sponsors to include a Stirling Generator prefab and more drones to allow for faster starts
* Reduced the construction cost of many buildings to reduce the amount of resources being carried by drones and improve game pacing
* Increased speed of drones by 20%, techs that increase speed of drones have their effects slightly reduced
* Drone battery capacity increased to reduce how often drones need to recharge. Initial battery of drones randomized to avoid having all drones run out of battery at the same time
* Reduced fuel needed to refuel a rocket to 50 (30 with tech). Paradox sponsor is down to 80(60 with tech)
* Shuttles require less fuel to operate
* Reworked applicant generation so the starting pool of applicants is of greater importance. Sponsors with larger starting pools will continue to have more applicants down the line.

* Electronics Factory now requires maintenance of 2 Machine Parts instead of 3 Electronics
* Increased power consumption of Polymer Plant & Electronics Factory to 10
* Reduced maintenance of Smart homes
* Outsourcing is now limited to five orders at one time

* Working medical buildings provide birth rate boost bonus for the next 24 hours.
* Added new commander profile: City Mayor – 2,000 M additional starting Funding; buildings require upkeep less often; bonus tech: Mars Nouveau (building costs in Metals & Concrete are reduced by 20%).

* Endless Supply game rule now lowers difficulty by 200 (instead of 25)
* Chaos Theory game rule now lowers difficulty by 50 instead of increasing it

##### Changes to Disasters

* Cable faults and Pipe leaks now happen only during dust storms or as a result of dust devils and meteor strikes. Their effect has been increased but the repair time is much quicker.

* Solar Panels are now disabled during Dust Storms and automatically close down
* Buildings left without power during a Cold Wave now freeze 3 times slower (after 24 hours, was 8 hours)
* Health and Sanity damage, suffocation, dehydration, and freezing effects from disasters are now randomized– colonists will now die or have a sanity breakdown gradually during an emergency rather than all at the same time when time runs out.
* Lightning Strikes during Electrostatic Dust Storms have been fixed and will now disable buildings for 24 hours rather than 4 hours. They will also drain power accumulators they hit.
