This release focuses on performance improvements and is compatible with savegames of previous 0.5 versions.

Performance

The graphics rework increased the amount of image data being loaded on startup by roughly 10x, causing a drop in startup speed.
I optimized the image loading and in my case got it from around ~7.5 seconds down to ~1.2 seconds.

This release now also simulates planets in parallel (Planet A at the same time as Planet B).
This greatly improves your game’s speed in case you colonized multiple planets and have large factories on them.

Other, Minor Improvements

I changed the background color of Modules to not be the same as several views’ backgrounds.
