Pax Autocratica Directive ST-11 Overhauls Stability, Logistics, and Combat

Directive ST-11 brings major stability improvements, Resource Transfer Station logistics upgrades, and wide-ranging balance changes to Pax Autocratica. Leaders can also utilize batch dismantling, controller improvements, and new soldier commands.

Pax Autocratica receives a massive structural update with Directive ST-11, prioritizing stability, base logistics, and interface clarity. The patch introduces automated hauling drones, batch building tools, and combat balance adjustments designed to smooth out colony management.

Base Logistics and Building

Upgrading the Resource Transfer Station to Level 2 now unlocks drones to assist with hauling. Resources produced by the Ore Refinery and Wood Processing Plant are integrated into the resource transfer system. Players can now use batch dismantling for foundations and decorative buildings. Star Map and Base interactions are separated by Sector, and crafted weapons and armor display unique markers in the crafting interface.

Combat and Soldier Adjustments

Soldier collision is optimized to reduce friendly units blocking movement, and enemy units are harder to push through. Character proportions for human and Scourgeborn soldiers are adjusted to appear larger. Enemy leader affixes unsuited for narrow combat areas are removed from Infested Nest battles, and the combat strength of Barbara Kosmos, Athena Thayer, Levia Brooks, Natalia Kandack, and Miralisse Novarin is increased.

Performance and Interface

Loading processes are optimized to prevent freezing or startup failures. VRAM usage is reduced, and the game now defaults to the current display refresh rate. Loading screens utilize a separate framerate limit to reduce performance consumption. Controller navigation, chat log pickup message combining, and influence HUD layouts also receive targeted improvements.

Why this patch matters

Directive ST-11 delivers much-needed logistical automation and performance fixes while laying down a stable foundation for future colony expansions.
