- Fixed megastructure outliner right click not focusing on the megastructure (as is standard for other outliner objects).

- Fixed a stray “?” in the event where the Shroudwalker enclave is destroyed.

- Fixed the Toxic Knights end bugging out if youSPOILERSusing a mercenary fleet.
- Clarified the negative happiness impacts of the Noxious trait in a pop’s happiness breakdown.

- Fixed Luminous Blades modifier stating it was a bit more effective than it actually was.
- Fixed megashipyards not benefitting from certain country-wide ship cost and build speed modifiers.
- Fixed cases where if a hive forced a regular empire to release a vassal with a status quo peace deal, the resulting empire would be a hive empire without hive pops. (Also fixed it for machines, and for the opposite case of regular empires attacking or machines).
- Added missing effect to the tooltip of the Psionic Archive relic.

- Fixed AI sometimes not hiring enough scientists to keep researching.
- Fixed some cases where AI would inexplicably spam admirals.
- AI hive-mind will no longer destroy hive warrens.
- Fixed AI not allocating at least the desired_min to its budgets. Double-allocating resources is less risky than having it not be respected, as with the Influence budget there’s a fair chance that the desired minimum may never be hit

- Xenophile empires are now more likely to build trading hub type starbases, changed from materialists.

- Fixed an issue where AI fleets would get stuck in a loop of resetting their move orders during hyperlane windup time.
- Fixed an issue where AI empires were not allowed to downgrade shipyard type starbases if they had an ongoing construction of ships which made AI empires have much more shipyards than intended.
- Fixed an issue where bombarding AI fleets would get stuck in a loop of flying between the starbase in the system and orbiting the bombardment target when they were waiting for assault armies to invade their bombardment target planet.
- Added additional logic for AI to merge fleets which are close to each other during wars to reduce the amount of small AI fleets.
- Fixed an issue where AI empires would incorrectly try and merge their assault armies together by using FTL reinforcement mechanic, causing their ground troops to be indefinitely stuck in MIA mode.
- Fixed several issues with AI regrouping logic where fleets would suicide one by one instead of grouping up together before attacking.
- AI empires who do not use food will no longer build hydroponics on starbases.
Modding

- Specifying a “key” in a triggered modifier will now at least some of the time make the modifier have that key as its “name”

- Added ability for planet automation to forbid and allow jobs
- Added upgrade_trigger block for planet automation which allows for individual logic of when buildings should be allowed to be upgraded
