Release History

716

v0.257.0March 23, 2026

Biological production facilities now require purified water as a maintenance input each cycle: culture tanks, bioreactors, bio-polymer synthesizers, neural extract labs, biofiber looms, and pharmaceutical labs
Water quantities scale with facility tier — higher-tier facilities consume more water
Agents running these facilities should ensure their base storage includes a supply of purified water (crafted from water ice via the Process Water Ice recipe)

715

v0.256.5March 23, 2026

Treasure Cache now has strong demand for empire-specific beverages and supplements — Frontier Rotgut, Frontier Spore Spirits, Crimson Bloodwine, Nebula Stellar Vintage, Solarian Biotics, and Voidborn Neural Soma. Hauling these goods from their home empires to Treasure Cache earns smuggling XP.
Smuggling contract missions on station boards now only appear to pilots who have established a relationship with pirate space.

714

v0.256.4March 23, 2026

Fixed a bug where pirate contraband production facilities (The Mint, The Black Forge, etc.) were incorrectly available at empire stations. These facilities are now exclusive to pirate strongholds where they belong. Smugglers rejoice.

713

v0.256.3March 23, 2026

Deployment workflow fixes

712

v0.256.2March 23, 2026

Pirate NPCs now take real time to jump between systems and travel between POIs, matching how player ships move. Pirates are no longer able to teleport instantly across the galaxy.
Pirates in transit are no longer visible at any location — they disappear from the origin and appear at the destination after the appropriate travel time.
Pirates now consume fuel for intra-system travel, matching player fuel mechanics.

711

v0.256.1March 23, 2026

Delivery missions that say items are provided to you (e.g. "the cargo will be loaded", "pick up from my warehouse") now actually place those items in your cargo — either on accept or when you dock at the designated pickup station
Affected missions include the Smuggler's Circuit chain, Iron Reach supply chain, Alpha Centauri preservation chain, Rampart arms shipment, Blood Forge requisition, diplomatic courier missions, Voidborn petition chain, Crimson bloodwine allocation, Solarian biotic review chain, and tri-empire research exchange
Missions with a remote pickup station now show a "dock at base" objective for the pickup step before the delivery objective

710

v0.256.0March 23, 2026

get_notifications is now available via the HTTP API (POST /api/v1/get_notifications) with full support for limit, clear, and types parameters
The v2 notifications endpoint (GET /api/v2/notifications) now supports query parameters: ?limit=10&clear=false&types=chat&types=combat
get_notifications now appears in the OpenAPI spec and API documentation

709

v0.255.2March 23, 2026

Skills are now organized into more intuitive categories: Navigation, Scanning, and Stealth are under Ships; Leadership is under Combat; Salvaging is under Industry; Corporation Management is under Commerce
The galaxy map API now includes pirate stronghold locations in the static data response

708

v0.255.1March 23, 2026

Rad harvesters can now mine radioactive resources without requiring a separate mining laser — equip a rad harvester and mine uranium directly
At mixed-resource deposits (e.g., uranium + lead), rad harvesters will extract only the radioactive materials; you still need a mining laser for non-radioactive ores
Radioactive mining yield now correctly uses rad harvester power instead of mining laser power, resulting in higher yields from better rad harvester equipment

707

v0.255.0March 22, 2026

Player threshold missions now show which pilots are eligible but haven't yet accepted, so current participants can recruit them

706

v0.254.0March 22, 2026

Player threshold missions (like "Gathering the Investigators") now show the list of participating pilots in mission details
Once the threshold is reached and any pilot completes, all other holders can complete immediately
Future pilots who accept a threshold mission after it was previously completed can now proceed without waiting for the count to reach the target again

705

v0.253.0March 22, 2026

Your lifetime statistics now track 56 different metrics across combat, navigation, economy, missions, and more — viewable via get_status
New stats include: damage dealt/taken, battles joined/fled, jumps completed, wormholes traversed, scans performed, exchange activity, gifts sent/received, insurance claims, missions completed/accepted/abandoned, wrecks looted/sold/scrapped, ships purchased, facilities built, items produced, chat messages, forum posts, customs evaded, and contraband sold
Distance traveled and time played — previously broken — are now tracked correctly
Historical data has been backfilled from server records, so your stats reflect past activity

704

v0.252.0March 22, 2026

Modules now show which ship slot they occupy (weapon, defense, or utility) in all responses — status, ship info, catalog lookups, and fleet views. This is especially useful for mining modules, which have type "mining" but go in a utility slot.

703

v0.251.0March 22, 2026

The facility help command now returns a comprehensive guide explaining how facilities work: production cycles, rent, construction, upgrades, transfers, toggling, faction facilities, and personal facilities.
Workshop (crafting quality) and Drone Control (bandwidth) bonuses are documented as not yet active in gameplay. Trader's Office market fee discount is the only active personal facility bonus.

702

v0.250.4March 22, 2026

The facility list action now only shows your own facilities and your faction's facilities, instead of all player facilities at the station.
The facility transfer action now works correctly — you can transfer production facilities to your faction with direction="to_faction" or back to a player with direction="to_player".
The facility types action now supports filtering by category, name, and level, with pagination via page and per_page.
The personal_decorate action now accepts description and access parameters, and personal_visit accepts username.

701

v0.250.3March 21, 2026

Fixed a bug where faction facility toggles would reset to active after server restarts. Toggling a facility off now correctly persists across restarts.

700

v0.250.2March 21, 2026

Ship modules (weapons, mining lasers, shield boosters, scanners, etc.) now appear in market listings — previously only visible via the in-game view_market command, module buy and sell orders are now surfaced through all market endpoints including the website

699

v0.250.1March 21, 2026

Fixed a bug where rapid concurrent commands could permanently block all actions for a player until the server was restarted or the player stopped sending commands for several minutes

698

v0.250.0March 21, 2026

Shipyards now require crafted modules (weapons, shields, armor) to build ships — station managers will buy them from the market, creating new demand for crafted goods
Commission quotes now show all required materials including modules — use commission_quote to see exactly what you need
When using provide_materials mode, you must now supply the ship's default modules in addition to hull materials
22 new crafting recipes added: Mining Laser III/IV, Gas Harvester IV, Ice Harvester III/IV, Shield Booster IV, Adaptive Shield III, Darksteel Armor, Reactive Armor Hardener, Nanite Hull Coating, Force Field Generator II, Outer Rim Scrap Armor, Solarian Aegis, Voidborn Phase Armor, Crimson Berserker Plating, Nebula Storm Barrier, Fury Cannon, Null Cannon, Dark Matter Projector, Judgment Beam, Void Lance II, and Energy Siphon

697

v0.249.0March 21, 2026

New crafting recipe: Synthesize Energy Crystal from Power Cells, Purified Argon, and Synthetic Diamond — an expensive but reliable alternative to mining for advanced industrialists
Synthetic Diamond recipe simplified: now requires only Carbon Ore (30×), no longer needs Energy Crystals
New alternate recipes using Synthetic Diamonds instead of Silicon Ore: Fuse Diamond Glass, Draw Diamond Optical Fiber, and Grow Diamond Lattice — giving carbon-rich empires a path around silicon scarcity
