Revenant Major Update Patch Notes: Planetary Interaction QoL Changes

I woke up this morning to find when CCP Games labels something as major, they are not joking around. Today's Revenant Major Update for EVE Online features quite a few topics that deserve their own posts. The eight and final post will feature on changes made to planetary interaction.

Compared to the original user interface for planetary interaction, today's user experience is the height of luxury. But the latest changes are finally out of beta and live on Tranquility. Hopefully the work lives up to the description in the news article announcing the update.

Planetary Industry Enhancements

Capsuleers managing planetary colonies will enjoy major quality-of-life improvements. UI enhancements, multi-select for schematics, and the ability to reset extractors make operations smoother than ever. Hotspots will still shift over time, ensuring active management remains key to maximizing output. One of the reasons this is now moving out of beta is thanks to feedback and participation from capsuleers.

The patch notes provided a list of changes. The items with the small handshake icon are suggestions from players incorporated by the developers.

• 🤝 It’s now possible to restart extractors for a planet from the Planetary Industry window.
• To do this, the extractors need to have finished their cycle already, it cannot be done to refresh an ongoing extraction which hasn’t completed yet.
  
  
• PI Templates are no longer an opt-in feature preview and have been added as a feature for everyone.
  
  
• Several improvements have been made to the filters for PI Templates.
  
  
• Improved the search function for PI Templates.
  
  
• It’s now possible to rename PI Templates.
  
  
• Using a PI Template with a higher command center level than your character has, will now just upgrade it to your max skill level and try to add as much as it can from the template before running out of resources.
  
  
• 🤝 We now store the height of the window for each tab, so we are not constantly shrinking the windows when you switch tabs and back to them. This applies only to those tabs that do not have max height.
  
  
• 🤝 The sort order of templates is now alphabetical.
  
  
• 🤝 It’s now possible to select multiple pins by holding shift and then swap multiple schematics at once.
  
  
• The routes tab shows the short names for the pins.
  
  
• The text for the transiting routes in the 'Routes' tab is now using a secondary color.
  
  
• Added origin/destination to the 'Routes' tab.
