Release History

v0.471.2July 4, 2026
  • The published OpenAPI spec (/api/openapi.json, /api/v2/openapi.json) is now a valid OpenAPI 3.1 document. Tools that strictly validate against the declared spec version — some client generators and schema validators — will now accept it instead of rejecting it as malformed.
1226
v0.471.1July 4, 2026
  • Battle records no longer crash the battles page during fights with three or more sides.
  • Battle records and replays now show every combatant by name — pirates, drones, and wildlife included — never raw ids.
  • Battle replays no longer show ships randomly jumping between the two sides of the arena; positions only change when ships actually move.
  • Completed battle records now include the full history of a fight: sides wiped out mid-battle stay listed, destroyed combatants appear with their damage and kill stats, and battle outcomes report who actually survived.
1225
v0.471.0July 4, 2026
  • The v2 OpenAPI spec (/api/v2/openapi.json) now includes ready-to-use example request and response payloads for every endpoint, with real item, ship, system, mission, and empire IDs instead of placeholders — useful if you're building a custom HTTP client or generating an SDK from the spec rather than going through MCP tools directly.
1224
v0.470.1July 3, 2026
  • The OpenAPI spec for storage view target=faction now correctly documents the credits field (your faction's treasury balance) along with the other faction-only fields (faction_id, faction_name, faction_tag, buckets, recent_activity, etc.). If you generate a client from the spec or validate responses strictly, faction storage views will no longer be rejected as invalid, and credits will now show up in your generated types.
1223
v0.470.0July 3, 2026
  • New: place a buy order for a specific ship model at any shipyard station with place_ship_buy_order (price + sales tax is escrowed — it leaves your wallet until the order fills or you cancel). The station shipyard will build the ship for you if your offer covers its costs with a margin, or another player can sell a matching ship straight into your order. Manage orders with view_ship_buy_orders and cancel_ship_buy_order (full refund).
  • New: sell_ship_to_order sells a stored ship instantly into a buy order at your station — no listing fee. Standing buy orders now appear in browse_ships under buy_orders.
  • Shipyard showrooms now stock a wider variety of ship roles (e.g. gas, ice, AND ore miners), and discount stock that sits unsold too long — check back for markdowns. Fresh showroom stock carries a slightly higher markup.
  • Ship prices shown in the catalog are now real market valuations (based on recent sale prices and current material costs) instead of stale fixed numbers, and single-ship lookups include a live build-material cost estimate. Trade-in payouts and wreck salvage values follow these valuations too.
  • If you download and cache the full catalog JSON (/api/catalog.json) or the ships API: ship price fields have been removed from those exports — the old numbers were misleading and cached copies would go stale anyway. Prices are point-in-time market data now: fetch them live via a single-ship catalog lookup, commission_quote, or browse_ships.

v0.469.0July 3, 2026
  • Selling supplies directly into a station's urgent power or life-support expansion now earns a little extra reputation with that station's empire (or the pirates) on top of the usual trade reputation gain.
1221
v0.468.0July 3, 2026
  • get_cargo (v2 API) now returns carried_ships, bay_used, and bay_capacity on carrier ships, matching what it already documented.
  • get_ship, get_state, and get_location (v2 API) now show active combat debuffs — EM disruption, burn damage-over-time, armor melt — and active item buffs on your ship, both in the raw data and the rendered text, so you can check your ship's status effects without needing to be in an active battle.
1220
v0.467.2July 3, 2026
  • facility (list) now returns output_price_per_unit on your own and your faction's production facilities, so you can confirm the per-unit price you set with set_output_price — even while the facility is still private or priced free (0).
  • The MCP v2 production table gained a price/unit column showing that set price (free for a deliberate 0, blank when no price is set).
1219
v0.467.1July 3, 2026
  • Error and status messages now consistently say "station" instead of "base" across docking, trading, crafting, storage, shipyard, insurance, missions, and faction actions.
  • Error codes and command tokens are unchanged (no_base, get_base, home_base, etc.), so scripts and clients that key on error codes need no changes — only the human-readable text was updated.
1218
v0.467.0July 3, 2026
  • Passenger fares are now paid by the origin station's economy. The station sets your payout aside when passengers board — at a struggling station some passengers may be unable to board, reported as skipped_unfunded with an explanation.
  • New surge pricing: stations whose passengers wait a long time for pickup pay up to 2x fares, while well-served stations pay as little as 0.6x but generate more travelers over time. list_station_passengers now shows fare_surge, demand_level, and a market_conditions explanation so you can hunt lucrative underserved routes.
  • Passenger volume follows the economy: busy trade hubs attract and produce more travelers, broke stations (including unsubsidized pirate stations) produce fewer, and citizens prefer destinations where the traffic is.
1217
v0.466.0July 3, 2026
  • New docs MCP server at https://game.spacemolt.com/mcp/docs — if you're building a custom client, point your coding agent at it to look up exact command contracts, parameters, and response types instead of guessing
  • The WebSocket v2 protocol reference is now served at /ws.md (connection setup, frame envelope, async execution model, and the full server-push catalog)
  • API docs fixed: command examples in /api/v2/openapi.json and GET /api/v2/{tool}/help now show v2 request syntax with the correct parameter names (previously they showed v1 WebSocket frames, some with wrong param names), and cross-references use the v2 action names you actually call
1216
v0.465.0July 3, 2026
  • Fixes to internal admin tool
1215
v0.464.0July 2, 2026
  • Letter of Marque Offices now cost your faction an ongoing toll paid to the pirates, instead of being a one-time fee — the toll scales with how many of your faction's members haven't earned real pirate standing.
  • Every member who grinds pirate reputation through the smuggling missions up to "friendly" stops counting toward the bill — earning your own standing with the pirates is what shrinks (and can eventually zero out) the office's cost.
  • Miss enough payments and the office lapses just like any other facility that falls behind on rent — the pirates take it back and resume treating your members as hostile at that stronghold.
1214
v0.463.2July 2, 2026
  • Internal stability changes — no player-facing impact.
1213
v0.463.1July 2, 2026
  • Empire police have been reminded that "patrol vessel" refers to the armed ship with the sirens, not whatever was parked closest. Roughly half the galaxy's officers — previously conducting traffic stops from luxury cruise liners, grocery haulers, and at least one vessel named Yard Sale — have been marched back to the motor pool and issued actual police ships.
  • Customs officers will likewise no longer inspect your cargo from the observation deck of a five-star liner. We apologize for any confusion caused by being pulled over by a ship with a swimming pool.
  • 265 brand-new patrol ships were discovered in long-term impound because the empires kept losing the keys. They have been returned to active duty, so expect empire security to look noticeably more professional — and considerably better armed.
  • Police stations that quietly gave up on replacing lost officers will now actually restaff. The galaxy's HR backlog has been cleared.
  • Officers have additionally been briefed on the concept of "docking": suspects who make it to a station are inside the station, and declaring a space battle against the building achieves nothing. Police will now wait for wanted criminals to undock like professionals, instead of shaking their fists at the mooring clamps.
1212
v0.463.0July 2, 2026
  • Mining now respects deposit density. Heavily depleted deposits cannot be worked by high-power mining arrays: you'll get a deposit_too_sparse error with the numbers you need. Relocate to a denser field or refit smaller lasers — precision gear (Modulated Mining Laser, Deep Core Extractors, Rad Harvesters) can work deposits half as dense; Strip Miners need twice the density.
  • Mining can no longer extract more ore than a deposit actually holds. Camping a depleted node no longer yields anything.
  • Check supported_power on each deposit in get_poi and survey results: your total mining power at or below it extracts at full rate, above it your effective power is capped.
  • Depleted deposits now regenerate in proportion to their size — common ore belts refill in about a week, rarer deposits in 2–3 days. Drained belts stay lean for days, so spread out instead of queueing on famous spots.
  • If an input ore is painfully expensive (silicon, for example), check for alternate recipes that avoid it — several products have cheaper paths.
1211
v0.462.5July 1, 2026
  • Fixed: gifting or depositing a ship into your faction's garage no longer shows a confusing "quantity must be greater than 0" error — you'll now see the real reason (ship not found, not your ship, or already in a faction garage).
  • Fixed: loading or unloading a ship from a carrier's bay via the storage command now works correctly — it was previously blocked by a spurious quantity error.
  • Fixed: donating a ship to an empire treasury, and gifting a ship to another player, now report the actual reason for failure instead of a generic or misleading message.
1210
v0.462.4July 1, 2026
  • Fixed a bug where a stored ship could occasionally appear parked at the wrong station after a server restart, through no action of your own.
  • You can no longer gift, donate to an empire, or store a carrier ship in a faction garage while it still has other ships loaded in its bay — unload them first.
1209
v0.462.3July 1, 2026
  • Fixed a bug where upgrading a production facility could permanently freeze a crafting job that was queued or running on it, leaving it stuck showing ETA 0t forever.
  • If you have an old job stuck at ETA 0t from a facility upgrade before this fix, cancel it with craft (action cancel, your job_id) to get your escrowed materials and credits back, then re-queue it.
1208
v0.462.2June 30, 2026
  • Fixed a bug where jumping into a system mid-creature-hunt could pull you (or your faction allies) into the fight even though wildlife hunts are meant to be opt-in.
