"Massive" new Stellaris update overhauls the Wilderness and improves research

It's been nearly a decade since Stellaris came out, bringing Paradox's usual focus on the more grounded worlds of Crusader Kings 3 and Victoria 3 into the realm of sci-fi. Even as Paradox continues to work on other projects, like the upcoming Europa Universalis 5, the company has continued to support Stellaris with a consistent series of expansions and updates, like the recent Biogenesis DLC. The latest update, 4.0.22, just launched, and, with its focus on the Wilderness and a sweeping range of balancing changes, it looks to be one of the most substantial in quite some time.
