🔧 Bug Fix
🛰️ Station Contracts Update While You Mine
When you had a belt station’s contract window open and carried on mining, the ore count for your contract stayed frozen at whatever it was when you opened the window, even though the mission tracker kept counting. The station window now keeps up, refreshing every few seconds just like the miner favours beside it. Thanks to Snorrsen for spotting it.
🛸 Smoother Drifting Wrecks
Some of the wrecks left behind after a fight were hopping as they tumbled instead of turning smoothly. One wreck in particular turned in big jerky steps, and a few others were exact duplicates of each other. Those have been retired, so every wreck you leave behind now comes from a set of twenty four distinct ones. Thanks to Snorrsen for the sharp eyes and the clip.
✨ Improvement
📡 Clearer Lost Contact Message
The Lost contact with the field message used to blame a server restart every time, even when the real cause was something else. It now explains every way contact can be lost: your internet connection dropping, the server restarting or updating while you are inside, or Forged Space being left in the background for too long. It also makes clear that any drones or turrets still deployed when you leave the field are lost.
A Reminder About Unattended Play
Forged Space is played live. When the game is left in the background, your ship stops responding but the pirates around it do not, and after a while the field will let you go. Keep the game in view while you are in a field, and recall your drones and turrets before stepping away.
