Universe Reset: Quilt Thievery

Universe ResetMay2024

The Paxian Operatives have been monitoring the nefarious Red Rogues and their efforts to pillage our universe for what resources they can steal. Amidst the charred remains from many of their pirate ships were notes for an upcoming invasion of our universe. No doubt in a bid to expand their pocket dimension, they’ve drawn up extensive plans to steal our universe’s entire fabric of reality in one fell swoop.

The technological prowess needed, as well as the infrastructure, is far beyond what the Paxian Operatives believed the pirates were capable of. During an ensuing fight to protect our universe from the invaders, the intense weapons fire from both sides destroyed our universe’s fabric of reality in its entirety.

In an effort to make up for their unusually brash actions, the Operatives had assigned a fleet dedicated to creating a new layer of fabric, one beautiful Pax-style quilt at a time. Unfortunately, the Red Rogues returned and stole their entire prized patchwork. Without the supplies needed to make another, 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.
