Update 1.026 (19 November 2018)

- Added 2 new Passwords to the game to allow improved Speed Running experiences.

The two Speedrun modes are:
- Speedrun Alpha (PW: SPEEDRUNALPH) Skip the tutorial, all chests are rare chests, and all enemies that have a 2nd equipable drop will always drop that item.
- Speedrun Beta (PW: SPEEDRUNBETA) Skip the tutorial, capped levels (Lunais, Familiars, and Orbs), cleared Use Item Inventory, full stock of (Warp Shards, Hi-Ethers, and 1 Lachiemi Star), and "Lost Items" have been removed. Keep in mind that this mode will not unlock new items and instead will use the save file's obtained items and equipped loadouts instead.

In order to activate a Speed Run, do the following:
- Load the save file that you wish to convert to a Speed Run file. -Open the Password menu and enter the desired Password -Save the game -Return to the Save Select screen in the Main Menu -Start a New Game+ with that save file (a special 'A' or 'B' indicator will be on the save file)

#### Patch 1.1.5 (19 November 2018)

* Here’s the latest patch based on community feedback.

* Please keep sending us your feedback as we will be tweaking and fixing beyond the bugs. We try to monitor all your conversations and suggestions but if you think that we are not addressing a feature please post on the GOG Victory At Sea Pacific forum and let us know what specifically is causing you issues. We sometimes miss specific things in long conversations so it’s good to have it’s own thread and we would rather have more than one thread on a subject than not have one at all.

##### Gameplay:

* Improved navigation for bridge-level fleet movement, so fleets can use smaller channels between landmasses.
* Torpedo tubes on surface ships may use the single-shot mode.
* Narrowing the torpedo spread to single-shot mode does not need such a long button press, and a thin firing arc indicator is still displayed in that mode.
* Added a key to pause time.
* Camera tilt and rotation keys are now rebindable.

##### Bug fixes:

* Ships are returned to their fleet upon loading a save, if they had been saved in the “shadow realm” state.
* Sinking ships cannot be added back into a fleet by dragging their squadron list elements around.
* A carrier’s wind indicator is hidden if the carrier is docked.
* Fixed a potential game lockup when unloading terrain.
* Fixed saving and loading of the fog of war state.
* Fixed the fleet screen placing ship icons incorrectly when viewing a large fleet.
* Fixed a case of supply convoys “teleporting” a great distance when entering into combat.
* Fixed a case of dive-bombers not diving if merged into a squadron with a different ordered altitude.

##### UI:

* Flight markers on the bridge display their navy’s name, instead of the faction’s name.
* Updated Chinese localisation, and fixed some location names.

#### Update 1.110 (19 November 2018)

* Fixed some gamepad troubles (unable to select a sermon, etc.)
* Fixed a broken alchemy mixer object.

Chip research, Preventative Maintenance, Smart Junction varieties & more

Hi all! I just pushed build 1.62 out to everyone! here are the changes:

[version 1.62]

1) [Feature] All car colors are now unlocked in freeplay modes.
2) [GUI] ou can now click and drag around the Research screen in both axis with the left mouse button held down. You can also use middle mouse to do that annoying autoscroll thing too :D.
3) [Content] New feature (researchable): Active spoilers for sedan & sports cars. (powered spoilers requiring sensors and servos).
4) [Content] New upgrade: preventative maintenance. needs researching and can be carried out at each maintenance facility to reduce breakdown chance by 50% in inner radius, 25% in outer radius.
5) [Bug] Fixed visual anomaly where setting a car design colors to chrome, then removing that option could mean some cars changed color when zooming in or out.
6) [Bug] Fixed crash bug (assertion error) when deleting some resource importers.
7) [GUI] Clicking an un-researched upgrade at a slot now takes you automatically to the research screen to show where the research item is.
8) [GUI] Yellow and red warning icons now also show in car design screen on categories where an item (of greater value) in that category has become universal or common.
9) [GUI] Manufacturing slots now show an error message if the export stockpile is not connected, and they will not run until this is corrected.
10) [Bug] Fixed crash bug on some occasions when leaving the slot details window open for a long time on a manufacturing slot.
11) [GUI] Valve and Engine block manufacture now depend on the research of engine assembly manufacture.
12) [GUI] A whole bunch of windows that could not be dragged around can now be dragged. Also icons added to facility/slot details title bars.
13) [GUI] Upgrade strips on the slot details window now show icons for each upgrade instead of pointless cash icon.
14) [GUI] Some pie chart and other chart colors adjusted.
15) [Content] New researchable manufacturing facility and resource: Silicon and Chip manufacturing / Ai chip manufacturing. Adds new employee type.
16) [GUI] Game will no longer allow you to rename or name designs so two designs are exactly the same (caused chaos!).
17) [Bug] Fixed a bug where sometimes applying a tech on the post-research screen did not seem to work.
18) [Feature] Smart Junctions now have side and 3 exit variations. Art not final. New 'default' option simplifies assigning designs.
19) [Balance] When deleting a manufacturing slot you also now get a refund for the value of any stock in the export-stockpile for that slot.
20) [GUI] On the imports tab for slot windows, there are no longer misleading import strategy buttons for raw materials that cannot be made locally.
21) [Feature] Red and White leather seats can now be researched in the design studio and installed in the sedan and sports car.
