- Force-enabled the x11 backend on Wayland systems with NVIDIA drivers in order to fix a crash (see issue #11657)
Hotfix 155.4:
This release reverts the upgrade from SDL2 to SDL3. SDL3 had too many bugs to be usable - R/B channel color swaps, overly bright windows, broken scaling, crashing on wayland, etc.
These issues should now be fixed again. This also means that the fullscreen/borderless window options have been returned to their pre-155 state.

This release includes a complete sound rework for most units and blocks, with a focus on Serpulo content. The audio engine has also been improved to handle more simultaneous sounds without cutting off playback.
This release also removes the Serpulo background wave simulation system - if you are not on a sector that is under attack, it will no longer be updated. You will still receive items and exports for sectors that are not currently under attack.
I am aware that this may be controversial, but the 'wave simulation' system has always easy to cheese, generally inaccurate, and flimsy at best. Sectors will frequently be lost even when defenses seem sufficient, or captured even when defenses are clearly inadequate. Invasions have been disabled by default to account for this change.

Full changelog:
- Made Beta's guns no longer rotate
- Improved Scepter's secondary weapon visuals and damage
- Made Ripple fire half as frequently with ~2x the damage per shot
- Removed Flare spawners from Omura (they were annoying and useless for its tech tier)
- New Flare attack patterns and AI, with a return to older v5 circling behavior - surprisingly, about 85% of the community voted to approve this change in the Discord
- Increased shale's oil production attribute value
- Reduced research costs for higher tier units on Serpulo
- Removed the background wave simulation system - sectors with waves that are not being played on will be frozen in time, and will not produce items
- Disabled Serpulo sector invasions by default - this system will likely be removed or reworked entirely in the future
- Enabled core incineration by default
- Increased active sound cap (32 -> 100)
- Limited sounds to a maximum of ~6 per type (one sound can't drown out all the others)
- Complete rework of most sounds in the game, with a focus on Serpulo units and turrets
- Added a large amount of new sounds to blocks/units/functions that were lacking them
- Added movement sounds for most units
- Renamed most sound effects - while this will break mods and logic, it was necessary, as the old sound naming scheme was an incomprehensible mess
- Many minor bugfixes, crash fixes and improvements for the data patch system
- Fixed logic insert line button not working properly
- Fixed Intel GPUs not being detected properly on Windows
Hotfix 154.2:
- Nerfed Flare damage and range significantly
- Increased liquid capacity of many blocks based on consumption rate
- Fixed a possible crash
- Increased Java mod minGameVersion due to new sound effect name changes
The highlight of this release is a new system for patching stats of content on servers and maps. This system will allow players to customize health, requirements, recipes, weapons, bullets, etc. individually. This is not a replacement for modding, as it does not allow adding new assets or content, but it does allow making major changes to the way the game is played and balanced.

The highlight of this build is the re-structuring of Serpulo sectors to align with their position in the tech tree. Instead of jumping to random positions all over the planet, you will be gradually expanding your territory, starting from Ground Zero. Any previous 'preset' sector saves should be migrated to their new positions on the map.
I am aware that not everyone will agree with this change, but I firmly believe that it is necessary, for the following reasons:
To be clear: I will not be reverting this change, nor will I be adding any options to switch between the new and old layouts. Maintaining two different planet layouts (and making sure both of them play well with newly added sectors) is not viable.
Note that this rework is not complete. There are plans to add special hand-made sectors on the far side of Serpulo, among other things. The Erekir campaign will also need a similar rework in the future.
For those interested, map submissions for the new Serpulo base sectors are now open on the Discord - see the #serpulo-sectors channel. In the future, all the procedurally generated sectors will be replaced with ones made by the community.

I am aware that not everyone will agree with this change, but I firmly believe that it is necessary, for the following reasons:
- Placing sectors next to each other makes it far easier to see where the player should go next. Historically, some players have experienced difficulty figuring out where to go early on in their campaigns.
- Only being launch to adjacent preset sectors (as opposed to halfway across the planet) makes logical sense, and aligns them with the mechanics of procedurally generated sectors.
- Having most sectors close to each other makes it far easier to see all the territory one has captured.
To be clear: I will not be reverting this change, nor will I be adding any options to switch between the new and old layouts. Maintaining two different planet layouts (and making sure both of them play well with newly added sectors) is not viable.
Note that this rework is not complete. There are plans to add special hand-made sectors on the far side of Serpulo, among other things. The Erekir campaign will also need a similar rework in the future.

- Made sector icons show up on map
- Moved procedural attack sector positions
- Made dark areas of Serpulo emit light based on player/enemy structure presence (note: you must enter a sector in order for its light coverage to update)
- Made procedural sectors on Serpulo now require a Foundation core to prevent sequence breaking
- Added unfinished enemy base sectors to the far side of Serpulo - these are currently procedural nonsense, but will be replaced with user-made maps in a future update
- Made "select all units" ignore Mono units
- Added support for multiple unit stances at once
- Added support for specifying multiple ores to mine for units
