Universe Reset: Hopeless Holiday Hangover

Lyceum has been partying hard over the holidays, having drunken enough spiced eggnog that not even Dr. L’s Cure-All has helped them fully recover. In their hungover state, they were too late to discover the Red Rogue’s latest scheme: the illegal harvesting of our universe’s very fabric of reality!

Although Lyceum has yet to reach a breakthrough in understanding the motive of the Red Rogues, a spokesperson for the pirates had this to say: “We only take small amounts of these exotic woven fibers for the purposes of creating warm blankets for the endangered space cats of Universe-8472. For more information about our ethical harvesting practices please schedule an appointment and one of our Redbeards will be with you shortly.”

Despite this, Lyceum field researchers found that over 70% of the fabric was being ripped apart and left behind, with intense harvesting often dangerously concentrated to only a handful of regions. When confronted about these tears in reality, the Red Rogues “called us nerds and dunked our ships into those tears in reality.” With the damage already done, Lyceum predicts an unstoppable collapse of our universe.

Dev Notes

  • Extractors other then space oats shut off, colonies will no longer make purchases to/from user stations, AI stations will no longer decay goods 7 days before end of the universe. Will be a reminder post.
  • Bases, permanent drones, and the credits on active bots will be lost.
    • Player ships will not be affected.
  • If you’re docked during the reset, you will spawn into the new universe using your docked active ship.
    • Careful not to spawn into the new universe in an immobile ship!
  • Wild Space will be scrambled and receive a new map shape.
  • All other layers will have the systems scrambled but contain the same shape.
  • After a universe reset, all of your docked ships will be in a state of limbo allowing you to dock them all at any non-player station.  You can use the /limbo chat command only once to bring all of your docked ships back into limbo to dock them elsewhere. There is no longer a time limit.
    • You can purchase additional limbos via Limboing Tow Service at Friedman station in Free Market for 5 billion credits each.
