Avorion recently received a new update for its beta version, and it was focused on fixing bugs.
The developers fixed an issue where the engine drained too much power after a hyperspace jump. Due to less power, players were unable to travel longer distances, and this causes some issues in the journey. There are changes as well in Building Knowledge, which you can read below.
