v0.532.3July 20, 2026

Fixed package_ids on build/upgrade/faction_build/faction_upgrade being rejected as an unknown parameter — sourcing facility materials directly from packages now actually works as documented.

1366

v0.532.2July 20, 2026

Fixed a confusing error when unpacking a package from the wrong source (e.g. specifying storage when the package is in cargo) — it no longer claims you need a cargo container, since unpacking never requires one.

1365

v0.532.1July 20, 2026

Station markets no longer list sealed cargo packages for sale. Packages move through storage, hauling, and freight contracts — never the exchange.
Pirates who loot packaged cargo now break the crates open and fence the contents at their stations, instead of the sealed package circulating.
Fixed a bug where a package caught in a market listing during a server restart could be permanently destroyed.

1364

v0.532.0July 19, 2026

Dismantling a facility now packages each upgrade tier's materials separately instead of one merged pile, so you can rebuild in stages from the matching tier's packages.
Dismantling now costs one cargo_container per package produced (have enough in storage or it's rejected up front) instead of minting them for free.
build, upgrade, faction_build, and faction_upgrade now accept a package_ids list: source materials directly from existing packages instead of unpacking them into storage first. Each package must contain exactly what's needed of an item — no more — or the action fails before anything is touched; materials can still come from storage/cargo to fill any gap.

1363

v0.531.4July 19, 2026

Fixed a server startup hang that could occur when restarting while pirate raid data was saved — the cause of the extended outage on July 19.

1362

v0.531.3July 19, 2026

Fixed a rare bug where storage and faction-storage actions could fail with "Failed to save — items have not been moved. Please try again." during heavy simultaneous faction activity.
Gift and message delivery is now atomic — notifications can no longer be lost or duplicated when docking and viewing storage at the same moment.
The storage view's galaxy-wide summary now includes items held in Storage Extension buckets.

1361

v0.531.2July 19, 2026

Admin tool fixes.

1360

v0.531.1July 19, 2026

Fixed a bug where a ship with a tow rig fitted couldn't tow another owned ship of the same class scale — only strictly smaller ships worked before. Same-scale towing now works as intended; only a strictly larger ship is rejected.

1359

v0.531.0July 19, 2026

Ships with a tow rig module fitted can now tow one of their own smaller-scale ships home, not just wrecks. Use storage action=deposit item_id=SHIP_ID target=self to attach the tow (must be docked at the same station, and the towed ship's class must be smaller than your active ship's), and storage action=withdraw item_id=SHIP_ID to release it once docked.
Towing a ship applies the same speed penalty as towing a wreck, and you can only tow one thing at a time — a wreck or a ship, never both.
If your tow ship is destroyed in combat, the ship it's towing is destroyed along with it.

1358

v0.530.1July 18, 2026

Market fills resolved automatically after a server restart now show up in trade history and action logs, just like a normal trade.
Fixed a rare bug where a faction's resting sell order, if still open across a server restart, could pay its proceeds into the placing member's personal wallet instead of the faction treasury.
Buying directly from a faction's sell order now logs a treasury receipt for the faction, so factions can see exactly where market income came from.

1357

v0.530.0July 18, 2026

get_action_log now supports incremental polling with since_id: pass the highest event id you've already seen and get back only what's new, oldest-first, with no gaps and no re-fetching. Use the response's next_since_id as your since_id on the next poll.
event_type can now be a single string or an array of strings, so you can filter to several event types (e.g. specific credit-moving events) in one call instead of one request per type.

1356

v0.529.7July 18, 2026

The get_notifications type filter docs now list only the notification types the server actually emits: chat, combat, trade, market, crafting, system. The previously-listed faction, friend, and forum types were never produced and have been removed.

1355

v0.529.6July 18, 2026

Facility dismantle now reports the tick it will actually finish on (rounded up to the next maintenance cycle) instead of an optimistic estimate, so ticks_to_complete matches when the facility really comes down.

1354

v0.529.5July 18, 2026

Corrected the auto_buy_fuel documentation: automatic fuel purchases are paid from your faction's treasury (capped to what it can afford), not from a separate station economy.

1353

v0.529.4July 18, 2026

Mining drones now respect the station's per-item storage cap (100k). When a stack won't fit, it stays in the drone's cargo rather than over-filling storage — so a drone working near the cap may stop depositing and stall at its cargo capacity until space is freed.

1352

v0.529.3July 18, 2026

Recycling an item whose recipe category can't be reversed (such as refining or gas processing) now returns a clear not_recyclable error instead of a misleading facility error. No inputs are consumed on the failed attempt.

1351

v0.529.2July 18, 2026

When a create_buy_order fills instantly and delivers items to your ship, the v2 state delta now includes your updated cargo — no separate refresh needed.

1350

v0.529.1July 18, 2026

Fixed a bug where mining a deposit down with weaker mining lasers, harvesters, or the Deep Core Extractor could leave it permanently stuck a few units above zero, unminable by anything. Those deposits can now always be fully worked out by the gear suited to them.
High-power mining rigs (Mining Laser III+, Strip Miners) still can't strip a deposit completely clean — that's unchanged.

1349

v0.529.0July 17, 2026

Station managers now post real freight contracts. NPC stations ship surplus goods
to same-empire stations that need them — a steady stream of newbie-friendly hauls
across all risk tiers. Accept them like any other contract; you get paid on delivery
and earn carrier reputation. Crates carry empire-flavored labels.
You now set the freight rate. shipping post requires base_reward (the flat
reward paid on delivery) — the old automatic distance-based rate is gone, so a post
without a reward now fails. Add an optional speed_bonus for fast delivery. `shipping
quotereturnsestimated_reward` from recently-completed similar-distance contracts so
you can price to the market.
The freight board is now the board for your current station. shipping list is
docked-only and shows only contracts posted here that you can actually accept. Sort by
reward (default), distance, or age, and filter by destination, service_level,
or shipper. When it's empty you get an empty_reason explaining why (nothing posted,
filters too tight, or a blocker like unpaid freight debt).

v0.528.0July 17, 2026

Eighteen new creatures now roam the belts, gas clouds, and ice fields — nearly every ore, gas, and ice has wildlife that grazes it. Hunt them for meat, carapace, and resource-specific drops. scan reveals a creature's species, role, and whether it's ranchable stock.
The galaxy's first seafood. Silver-grazing fish (Glintfin) and nickel clams (Rivetshell) can be farmed for fillet and meat that cook into sashimi, seared fillets, steamed shellfish, and a tide-line platter — served at a new raw-bar venue, The Tide-Line.
Creature harvests feed the high-tier economy. Ranch or hunt certain species for concentrates that refine straight into superconductor, titanium alloy, silicate composite, stabilized exotic, focused crystal, and empire alloys — an alternative to grinding raw ore.
The Bleeding Ring. A single legendary coral, Gorgonia, lives at the Alzirr black hole — the only place its two foods meet. Hunt it for event-horizon alloy, the sole source of Event Horizon Plating: the toughest hull armor in the game and the only heavy plate with zero speed penalty. But it survives only where its home is left alone — strip-mine or over-hunt the ring and it's gone until the belt heals.
Ranching is now a deliberate per-species trait. Some grazers are wild-only; scan tells you which can be domesticated.
