  • Freezer and Heater may be upgraded to heat and cool to greater extremes.

Civilian

  • The Biogenerator can now be upgraded to generate more biomass per nutriment, and to work faster.
  • Hydroponics Trays now have a Toggle Light verb (does not interfere with bioluminesence). Unnoticable at its weakest level, but useful at higher levels.

  • Vending Machines have received a very slight buff to default throw rate.
  • Vending Machines can now be upgraded to throw items more often.
