Official change summary

Soldier Aging gained an immediately effective toggle that can be changed at any time; disabling aging stops its effects on soldiers.

Exile was added to remove soldiers and free colony capacity and resources.

Automatic save backups preserve previous saves after unexpected interruptions; the announcement does not give a backup path or retention count.

Building deposits gained manual quantity entry. Infested Nest difficulty and Soldier Upgrade point requirements were reduced.

Prison research time was reduced, Core Fragment Codex data was cleaned up, and save-loading and several crash cases were fixed.

Related systems and next steps

System

Soldier Aging

Soldier Aging can be toggled at any time with immediate effect under AG-12. ST-11 fixes ages stopping after adulthood, and ST-24 fixes old-age deaths before soldiers reach the Aged-state threshold.

System

Exile

Exile was introduced in AG-12 as a colony-management option. Before using it, review the selected soldier and preserve a save backup if you need to compare the consequences.

System

Save Backups

Automatic save backups were added in AG-12. Keep a separate recoverable copy before reproducing a bug or changing a colony extensively; the patch announcement alone does not establish the local folder or backup retention count.

Resource Storage

Location

Infested Nest

Infested Nest was eased in AG-12 and refined in AG-25 and ST-11. Later notes add Core Fragment chests, remove one cramped Boss spawn, lengthen ship-phase spawn intervals and remove unsuitable enemy-leader affixes.

System

Soldier Upgrades

AG-12 reduces the points needed to upgrade regular soldiers, elites and bosses. Use the requirement shown in the current upgrade interface rather than a pre-launch or launch-day cost table.

Building · Evidence limited

Prison

A complete current-build answer for Prison is not established by the sources reviewed on September 26, 2026. Use the verified related records below; no unconfirmed values or procedure are presented as game facts.

System · Evidence limited

Core Fragment Codex

The Core Fragment Codex had unnecessary data removed in AG-12. That is an interface-data cleanup; the announcement does not say that a Core was removed from the game or that its combat effect changed.

Issue

Loading Stuck

ST-11 improves loading stability and ST-24 addresses loading timeouts and crashes. If loading still stalls, record whether it occurs on startup, save load or scene transition and preserve the affected save.
