NEW in v2. 0. 2 — Localization fix pass

A QA sweep over the 12-language localization (added in v2. 0. 1): completed 4 missing ware-detail entries for full parity with the base and verified key-parity, %s placeholder, and template-ref integrity across all 12 languages. No code or gameplay changes.

Localization — 12 languages

Storefront strings + full runtime UI (18 entries) now translated by native speakers into all 12 languages X4 supports:

• []Русский (RU)[/]

  []Français (FR)[/]

  []Español (ES)[/]

  []Italiano (IT)[/]

  []Čeština (CZ)[/]

  []English UK[/]

  []Polski (PL)[/]

  []Deutsch (DE)[/]

  []Português (Brasil) (PT-BR)[/]

  []日本語 (JA)[/]

  []한국어 (KO)[/]

  []简体中文 (ZH-CN)[/]

  Translations reviewed via LLM native-speaker pass + adversarial verification for translation quality, terminology consistency, and template ref preservation.

  What DA Eco does

  Rebalance of pricing, production, and general economy on top of vanilla X4:

  • []Storage boost fix (200k+ ConstructionPlan errors → 0) — per-station L-container boost wrapped in a `hasfixedconstruction=false` guard, silently skipping vanilla fixed prefab plans. 75 non-factory stations still get the boost. Log spam: ~44 MB → ~4. 8 MB per session.[/]

    []God defaults 40 production / 20 storage per station (was vanilla 5/10). Bigger stations at game generation → fewer total factories needed for the same output.[/]

    []Xenon energycells quota tightened — replaces vanilla `<quota galaxy="12" cluster="3"/>` with `<quota galaxy="12" cluster="1"/>` + adds `<sunlight min="0. 5"/>` gate. Standalone Xenon solar plants drop from ~12 to ~4 galaxy-wide, only in sunny sectors.[/]

    []Runtime sunlight filter for Xenon expansion — patches `factiongoal_hold_space.xml`: when Xenon tries to place a low-tech factory via runtime expansion, energycells is stripped from the candidate list if the target sector's sunlight < 0. 5.[/]

    []EventDynamicNewsOutput null-safe — 10 error hits per session eliminated.[/]
