1.8 release (17.03.2025)

List of changes (compared to 1.7)
New mechanics:
1. Dynamic increase in durability of experimental/regular units under construction
Now units will dynamically increase in durability when building them on the ground by engineers
2. Reduced speed of upgrading turrets & laser defense & bio-turrets when they are attacked
Now upgradable turrets will be upgraded more slowly if they have recently been attacked
3. Skins - now a larger number of units have a large number of skins, decorative visual differences.
4. Display (in characteristics) of regeneration, shield restoration speed, construction power, and repair speed
After building, the unit characteristics will display lines like these
5. Overheal - now if your units or buildings have not been attacked for a long time, they are repaired faster by any repairmen/engineers/etc.
Veteranism - now all T1 units receive bonuses to characteristics when destroying enemy units. In the future, each unit at the maximum (5) veterancy level will also receive a unique bonus
