Developer Arkavi Studio has released version 1.03 of its space 4X strategy game Lords of The Black Sun, with the first out of Early Access patch designed to improve both basic stability and overall game balance.
It’s harder to cheekily bankrupt your alien foes by constantly conning them with loans, for example, and a couple of the game’s races have been given better tech to make them trickier to defeat.
Elsewhere there’s a bunch of fixes that should sort out bugs with the game’s missions, tech trees, trade and ship design systems.
Lords of The Black Sun left Early Access on Steam a couple of months back, so while the game’s been updated before, Arkavi says this is the biggest update it’s received this far. You can check out the full list of fixes and tweaks from the new patch here.
