Geoplanetical patch titled 29 Oct 2026

Last checked: 2026-10-29

The API title is “Release Patch notes 29/10/2026 - 1.” The post time is 28 Oct 2026, 23:41 UTC. I split the items into rules and repairs so the economy guide and the requirements page can point at the right row.

Rule changes

  • Fish and timber can be expanded through production investment.
  • Referendums can be used. The note’s example is Australia becoming a republic.
  • An absolute monarch cannot be removed by a confidence vote.
  • Stability and approval math was adjusted. The note does not publish the formula.

Repairs

  • Some Windows machines closed the game at launch. The note says detection now starts the game normally.
  • Election-night counting was slowed.
  • The currency shown on the HUD survives a reload.
  • Deposits that extend into a neighbour, and deposits in an occupied province, can be mined.
  • Capitals corrected: Porto-Novo, Yamoussoukro, Dodoma.
  • A country created by referendum joins the right UN regional group and can apply to the EU.
  • Parliament size and seats corrected for Romania, Hungary, Greece, Switzerland, and Poland.
  • A load that stuck, or never showed a window, was addressed. This is not the same claim as a fix for the 5 FPS reports.

Was this posted on the 29th?

The title says 29/10/2026. The Steam News timestamp is 28 Oct 2026, 23:41 UTC. Depending on your timezone that is still the 28th or already the 29th.

Can Australia become a republic now?

The note says referendums work, and gives Australia becoming a republic as the example. That is the patch text, not a playthrough log.
