Master of Orion Version 45.6 Patch Notes

Greetings Explorers,

After reading your feedback and careful consideration we are making additional adjustments to population growth.

Here is a high level overview of the changes in today's update:
We've slightly increased food requirements for population growth in general and we doubled them when the colony is about to become full (to compensate for all the food/pop. growth structures on a mature colony)
We've balanced the production cost for the tier one structures to make the choice between them more balanced and meaningful
We added the Colony Base (+1 Food only) as a tech application on the second tier (Deep Space Exploration)
We slightly improved food output for Class A and Class B planets
Please take a look at the patch notes below for full details.

Master of Orion - Patch Notes 45.6

+1 Food added to Colony Base
Colony Base is now a 2nd tier tech
