Full patch notes below:

Hypnos - v1.13

Geoscape

• Revealed Havens within the sphere of influence of a Pandoran Base will now give diplomatic bonuses or penalties, based on how long the Pandoran Base has been active after being revealed.

• Attacking a Faction will now increase the Alert level of that Faction towards Phoenix. At High Alert, Phoenix Point can no longer attack that Faction and will have to wait a cooldown time for Alert level to go down. After an attack, the Threat level of missions against that Faction also increases by 1 level for a period of time.

• Rebalanced diplomatic penalties - players will receive higher diplomatic penalties when attacking Factions in which they have better relationships.

• Shared faction research rewards with Phoenix are now spread at different levels instead of being awarded at 50 diplomatic points. The shared research will be at 50% progress and will have to be completed by the player.

• The research reward for completing a Steal Research mission is now shown on the Haven info panel. Players need to visit a Haven to find out what the reward will be.

• After a successful Haven Defense, surviving soldiers from the defending Faction may decide to join Phoenix if they have a positive relationship. The higher the difficulty setting, the lower the chance that a soldier might join.

• (DLC2) Each Archaeology Lab will provide 1 resource of passive income each day for every resource gathering site in control of that type.

Tactical

• Players will have to use the new Hack ability in order to complete the Steal Research mission objectives, which makes a soldier busy for 2 turns (unable to take action) until the Hack is complete.

• Disabling an eye of the Yuggothian entity will remove a Mark of the Void from a random soldier. A hint to support the mechanic will appear if hints are enabled.

Quality-of-Life improvements

• Added Cinematics library on the main menu to rewatch cinematics available during the game. Players will need to unlock these cinematics after this update for them to appear.

• Improvements to HUD UI when certain Tutorial hints are showing

• Revised the UI design in the Recruits tab

• Better trigger conditions for the Jet Jump tutorial step in the 2nd tutorial mission

• Main objectives on Geoscape that lead to campaign completion now have a unique icon

• Several hints were added to Geoscape to better explain the Augmentation (DLC1) and Mutation mechanics

• New pause/unpause settings in-game options for Aircraft movement
