Pax Autocratica Directive AG-27 Brings Trading Post Sales and Trait Balancing
Pax Autocratica's latest maintenance directive adds merchant ship sales, HUD hiding for screenshots, and vital balance updates to the Sub-Healthy trait. Leaders will also find combat points of interest spawn closer to home in Auryto and Serina.
Directive AG-27 is live for Pax Autocratica, focusing on quality-of-life adjustments, interface enhancements, and balance corrections across base management and combat.
Economy and Trait Adjustments
Leaders can now clear out unwanted items by selling excess goods directly to visiting merchant ships via the newly added item-selling feature at the Trading Post. In addition, the Sub-Healthy trait has been reworked. Instead of causing soldiers to drop dead suddenly, it now raises the chance that they contract an illness.
Combat and Exploration Changes
Combat points of interest in the Auryto and Serina regions now spawn closer to the Leader's base. This cuts down on long-distance travel before the first engagement and keeps the difficulty curve from climbing higher than intended early on. Combat scenes also feature improved collision detection, alongside visual effect upgrades for the Lethal Venomfly's attacks and Weapon Core · Full Draw Shot sound effects.
UI and Quality of Life
Players looking to capture clean footage can now hide all HUD elements temporarily by pressing ESC, then restore the interface with another press. Other interface updates include clearer controller shortcuts, improved construction material layouts in the building radial menu, and better timing for notifications regarding children being born or reaching adulthood.
Bug Fixes and Building Stability
Building foundations now feature improved stacking logic, allowing them to snap together more closely for flatter layouts. The update also resolves a bug where foundations flickered or failed to render, fixed floating railings on the Monument to the Great Father, corrected plant positioning in flower beds, and stopped controller inputs from locking up menus during new save creation.
Why this patch matters
Directive AG-27 provides welcome quality-of-life features and sensible adjustments to early-game pacing, making empire management smoother without altering core mechanics.
