Superweapons, Star Citadel and 2026 (18.09.2025)

Greetings everyone, welcome to yet another dev diary. This time we will talk about a whole bunch of stuff, so we need to get movin.

Superweapons

Yes, you read it correctly. Since Superweapons Arsenal went dead, I always wanted to give my own take on idea of superweapons. In next major patch 2 out of 3 planned will be introduced. One being part of Special project, second reward from restoring Nidavelir's main secton.

Gungnir and Entropy Lance

I can assure you all, they are balanced :D

Tier 4 Stations : Star Citadels

While not being planned for 4.0 from beginning, Tier 4 station idea has been nagging me also for very long time. Thanks to GourmetG, that idea, will become reality. A new type of stations, star citadels will be available for low-tech and high-tech.

With those, no one will ever be able to invade your worlds again... unless they bring a lot more guns.

Low Tech variant

To unlock them you will need to raid Chicomoztoc for Low-tech, and Culann for High-tech. Ofc from 4.0 patch, respective Star Citadels will guard those world's.

Another reason to raid Chicomoztoc

Grand Projects.

Tier 4 stations won't be your usual structure to build. Instead, they are going to be something in between to megastrctures. They are going to require Global Production resources, to be built.

MOAH RESOURCES

I plan there to be more than tier 4 stations as grand projects in future. They will serve as ultimate version of industry. Like for example Omniforge Nexus. It will be ultimate refining project, that will combine both strengths of Crystalizator and Isotope Seperator. This is still heavily WIP mechanic, so for now only basics are added.

ETA for Vok 4.0

I will be quick on this one, since I know a lot of people want to know that the most. Around month, max two. Soon sprites are going to be replaced, and with that, Vok 4.0 will be ready. If you can't wait, alpha testing is still on-going.

Plans for 2026

For next year I don't plan on making roadmap, stating in which quarter of the year I will do stuff. Reason behind it? We are already finishing current one and we are like 3 months ahead schedule XD.

So instead roadmap will be more of displaying goals for year, that I want to accomplish.

Anyway module that I plan to work on most in 2026 won't be Vaults of Knowledge. This time Seats of Power will take that place. Due to amount of new mechanics I will add.

In Seats of Power for 2026 I plan to add Patrol Fleet Overhaul, that was meant for VOK, Colony Crisis overhaul: Situations, and Administrator rework : Council members, Star system administrators and new way to govern your empire. More on that, in next dev diares.

A quick word or two with you.

Before end of this diary, I wanna have a word with you all.

First of all, thank you all, who supported me so far, and new supporters that have recently joined. You have no idea how much this helps me. Especially since I lost job, due to company I worked closing. (Info on my discord in greater details)

As you know, money from patreon not only goes to sustain me, but also for commissioning very talented people for art. I would like to showcase here as compilation, of what your support has brought.

This is all thanks to you all!

This art compilation is only going to increase in size in coming days, once all industries will be done! All thanks to your support, and support of my friends.

Have a good day, and I invite those on my discord for further Q&A today!
