A new update has been released! Version 22, the "Diplomatic Affinity" update focuses on new Diplomatic Traits.

A new core mechanic for the Diplomatic Traits is that every 2nd level of a Trait provides a source of Affinity points! Diplomatic Capital now provides a unique way to progress your colony down its future path. Do you rush as many level 2 traits as possible to maximize your Affinity or do you grab the powerful level 3 capstone traits?

Your chosen Affinity will also shape what traits you want to pick. Grabbing a level 2 trait you don't care about just to get a level 3 trait is often inefficient. What Affinity you are going for will influence what trait capstones are easily accessible to you.
