  13. # Features
  14. ###################
  15. * Added 33 new achievements
  16. * No longer possible to build robots on planets belonging to sectors
  17. * Added victory event after defeating the Prethoryn Scourge
  18. * Added new events for discovering additional Precursor anomalies, so that the quest chains can always be completed
  19. * Changed the way the Extradimensionals work: Instead of spawning reinforcements as soon as a fleet is lost, the Extradimensional portal will create new fleets at a fixed rate depending on the number of dimensional anchors the Extradimensionals have placed in the galaxy. Dimensional anchors are a type of station that the Extradimensionals construct, and their main portal is invincible while any dimensional anchors exist in the galaxy. This should make the war against the Extradimensionals more of a long-term fight and less of a surgical strike against the portal.
