Commanders of Stellar-Universe,

A new update has landed — smaller in scope than our last overhaul, but with real weight behind it.

Citizens Now Matter
Population is no longer just a number sitting on your planet. Every mine, farm, research lab, and shipyard now needs workers to run at full capacity — build faster than your people can grow, and your production will visibly suffer for it. A new Mood stat reflects morale: idle, unemployed citizens drag efficiency down, so growing your homes and farms alongside your industry is now a real strategic choice, not an afterthought. Open a planet's Statistics tab to see your workforce and morale at a glance.

Fixes & Polish
- The Empire Hub's flag editor now correctly saves your design — a bug was silently discarding changes on save.
- The Research tree window has been rebuilt to match the rest of the interface, and every technology now correctly displays its cost and research time.
- Hangar modules of the same type are now grouped together instead of listing every unit one by one, with ship cores always shown first for quick fleet building.
- A building exploit allowing free, instant population growth has been closed.
