[Fyron]

Version 0.14.08 of the Adamant Mod by Imperator Fyron has been released. This update features many additions and fixes. There are new forced exploitation facilities for the more evil races. Armor component costs have been revamped. Dense armors (those with the actual armor ability) have been reduced to one half the level of hit points they had previously. Shield Array facilities are now useful. New research outPosts have been added, which can generate reseach points in space. A new race, the Pequeninos, has been added to the mod.

If patching from a previous 0.14.xx Version, you will need the Race Pack and the Lite files. It does not matter which is applied first.

11. Changed - Unit Crystalline Armor is now in family 7214 so as to prevent unintended upgrades from ship Crystalline Armor.

20. Changed - Resource Manipulation tech area now requires Biology in addition to Chemistry and Physics.
21. Added - Theoretical techs must be researched before higher than level 1 in basic resource harvesting technologies can be developed. The race paradigm's primary resource requires one level, whereas the other two resources require 2 levels.
22. Changed - Light armor now costs as many resources as it has hit points. Heavy armor costs two times as many resources as it has hit points. Organic armors cost 50% extra, due to regenerative properties.
23. Fixed - Reduced the length of the description of the Fire Ball components so that they no longer cause overflow.
