- Solar Nations 2 Video Renderer - 24 September 2026
This is the timelapser tool I spoke of yesterday. I was having trouble hosting it since it contains a .exe file, which google drive did not like. It is now on itch.io, you can find it here:https://flomgusgames.itch.io/solar-nations-2-savegame-video-rendererThis is what the window looks like. Beware that it will produce a windows defender suspicion since it can write files, but it is basically just a frontend gui that executes python files via a command line. You can see the code it runs in the python files packaged with it if you are worried. In order to remove this you have to pay microsoft money for a signed exe or maybe there is another way I haven't found. If you don't want to worry about it you don't need it to play the game it is just if you want to make your own timelapses of your past games. It will render it to .mp4 and you can do whatever with it.Here is an example of its outp…
- 0.19 Beta: Generation Ships + Extra - 24 September 2026
Big update today!Generation ShipsEveryone is here!Generation ships are a new mechanic you can use to go interstellar early. You can take 100,000 of your population on a journey across the stars! It is a very cool way to play the game, but beware- the AI will also send their own expeditions, so you will have to fight for control of the world you wish to claim!Generation ships are expensive, and take 50 years to reach the target. I am aware that real-life generation ships may take centuries to get to another star system but no one wants to wait an hour to play the game.You can also send generation ships within the Solar System if you don't have colonial range. Once the ship arrives, it will create a new nation. You can either watch your new colony grow (or get eaten), or you can take the helm yourself.Video Rendering MechanicSome of you may have seen this video of mine. I have been workin…
- Experimental 0.19 Bug fix - 21 September 2026

- Experimental 0.19: Icon Changes - 9 September 2026
ChangelogBug fixesYou can now be in 1 organization per type of organizationAI will build less units but each unit will be larger, specifically with giant AI empiresFixed specific random crash bug originating from editing formable childrenPlanet filters on colonies and macro builder now work correctlyLimit of 1 imaginarium crisis faction at a timeRemoved instances of countries starting with more ruling factions than allowedExperimental Icon ChangesI thought the white glowy borders on the icons looked bad on smaller resolutions, so I decided to change them by inverting the colors and hue shifting. This has been done to every icon which had a white border, and I am dubious as to whether or not I would like to make these changes permanent. Overall, I think it is good though.Sample of what the new icons generally look likeWithout the bright outline it is easier to see the shape and color of…
- Experimental 0.19 - 31 August 2026
Hello everyone, the experimental branch has some new features. Here is what they are:OrganizationsGeneral ChangesNon-alliance organizations no longer call all their members into wars.Economic Unions now allow you to build on allies' territories, and export/import resources from them for freeMilitary alliances now allow you to recruit units in allied territoryGermany can build buildings in any EU member state.HegemonyNew type of organization which allows you to puppet people within it. Hegemonies confer the benefits of military alliances and economic unions, with the added bonus that your new "allies" can't leave, and have to pay you some tributes.AI won't join hegemonies voluntarily, so the only way to get people in them is to force them to join through war, or release a country.Anyone besides China inside this organization is effectively a puppet state.Colonial NationsYou can now relea…

- Price Increase Warning + 0.19 Forum - 16 August 2026
Solar Nations 2 has always been planned to increase in price as it approaches full release, with the final 1.0 price planned to be $20. Since I am getting closer to that point, I'm planning to begin increasing the Early Access price soon rather than doing one large jump right before release. I have to do this because I want to do a launch discount when the game actually comes out as well as avoiding sales, and if you did not know you cannot change the price of a game and then also participate in a sale of any kind until 1 month has passed. Since a sale just ended, now seems like a good time. I haven't finalized the exact timing yet. For people who already own the game, obviously nothing changes. I'm interested to hear what people think about the timing and how gradual the increases should be. 0.19 Also, I am beginning work on 0.19, so I want to hear what you all want as far as mechanics…

- Update 0.18 - 5 August 2026
Hello everyone, here is the full changelog for the 0.18 update.Mission TreesMission Trees have been added to some situations, and present new challenges for some nations to do during the game. The idea of mission trees is to incentivize and direct the player without forcing them to do a specific course of action, so they are still very open ended, but provide small or large bonuses based on their completion. Some mission trees also have multiple branching paths allowing for more replay value on some countries.America's mission tree focuses on reunifying the country and building it upEurope's mission tree allows for final Apotheosis to occur in a new and interesting wayIndia can now choose between liberating itself from the Castes or embracing them.New SituationsThere are new situations for various countries, including Earth, Mars, and each continental formable.
