Patch 11e for Planetfall, the Alpha Centauri total conversion mod for Civ4 BtS, has been released. This patch needs to be applied on top of the main v11 file of Planetfall. It doesn't break savegames from patch d.

Just a couple corrections:

2. The Space Elevator is only buildable around the equator.
