Avorion Patch Notes — December 15, 2025

Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.

(same as 2.5.11 beta patch notes)

Acid Fog environmental effect is less severe now
- Overall damage is slightly reduced; maximum damage has been halved
- Affected material progression has been shifted towards the center of the galaxy, so that there is more of the next safe material available in nearby sectors
Rift Research Data loot is now marked when using an object detector
Scannable radiating asteroids change their color back to normal after being used
Added a visual indicator when ships are getting damaged from radiating asteroids
Quantum Xsotan now stay closer to the fight
Activated wormhole generators are now highlighted and shown in Strategy Mode's sector overview

Added preview for new mass and new number of subsystem sockets when scaling ship in Build Mode (in Modify Whole Ship window)

Strategy Mode: added message beacons, sector renaming beacons and marker buoys to sector overview
Added "delete word" functionality to multiline text boxes (Ctrl+Backspace and Ctrl+Delete)
Input dialog windows (e.g. ship renaming) can now be confirmed with "Return"
Photo Mode now has HUD buttons to exit Photo Mode and to show/hide the Photo Mode window

Optimized spawning multiple Xsotan at once
- The game will still have a short performance impact when spawning new ships, but it should be much better now
Optimized cleanup of overlapping blocks when importing a craft/template/turret

Added new function WaveUtility.createXsotanWaveAsync(namespace, callback, ...) that allows for async generation of predefined groups of Xsotan
- this function's spawning behavior is exactly like the existing WaveUtility.createXsotanWave()
- even if you do not want to use the callback parameter, the namespace parameter has to be given in order for the internal callback structure to work
Added Sector():dropTorpedo(...) that drops a torpedo as loot at the given position

Fixed an issue in Build Mode where undoing ship scaling would result in lost turrets
Fixed an issue where marker buoy messages would not be shared between all permitted players
Fixed an issue where rift mission cargo would not be removed after ending the mission
Fixed an issue where objects in rifts were not scannable by player drones
- (using the player drone in a rift sector is not recommended, though)
Fixed an issue where Build Mode's subsystem socket icons would not update correctly when changing ship size
Fixed an issue where ship building progress was no longer visible at the shipyard after saving and reload
Fixed an issue in Free Play settings (when creating a new galaxy) where the unlimited maximum ship size checkbox was incorrectly disabled
Fixed an issue where camera would jump when entering Photo Mode if Cruiser Steering Mode was active
Fixed an issue where some HUD buttons were visible in Photo Mode
Fixed Turret Build Mode requiring Titanium building knowledge to build
Fixed Turret Build Mode showing additional unavailable block types if player is missing some building knowledge
Fixed several issues in torpedo tutorial
Fixed rift teleporter being boardable
Fixed an issue where the tooltip of dropped loot is showing in a wrong position when using a custom UI scale
