Changelog

Version: 0.9.77
Date: 2026-10-06
  BugFixes:
    - Fixed a non-recoverable error when a player riding a rocket up to a station was viewing another surface in camera mode.
    - Fixed ships taking off with a stale scan after entities were built while the ship was docked at a station. The departure rescan now completes before the ship is cloned.
    - Fixed the Add Station planet picker appearing below the interrupts panel.
    - Fixed ships leaving the dock only deleting the floor tiles and leaving the entities behind. The cleanup now also destroys any entities still sitting on the source ship floor.
    - Ignore transient asteroids when checking whether a ship's docking footprint is obstructed.
    - Preserve the source platform when a manual takeoff clone fails, roll back failed automatic departure setup, and reliably reseat the player in the translated cockpit car.
    - Resolve cloned hubs and docking ports from their pre-clone positions, avoiding stale/double-offset references and arbitrary hub selection.
    - Keep locomotives and wagons in the clone operation instead of attempting unsupported cross-surface teleports; remove source entities only when they are on the ship footprint, with rolling stock cleaned before rails.
    - Prevent staged clone finalization from retrying indefinitely when the destination hub is missing.
    - Fixed the "Docking area is blocked" warning spamming in-game chat roughly every second while a ship waited for a blocked dock. It now prints once per waiting episode; afterwards only the map alert refreshes.
    - Copy-pasting a ship's schedule to another ship (shift right-click on the control hub) now also copies the docking port assignments for each station.
  Changes:
    - The blocked-dock alert now distinguishes between a generic obstruction (yellow) and waiting on another ship that is still leaving the dock (blue, names the ship).
    - The Add Station planet picker now opens above its button so the button stays in place.

Version: 0.9.76
Date: 2026-10-02
  BugFixes:
    - Fixed the Space Suit warning showing even when the player is actually wearing one.
    - Fixed ships teleporting to the wrong dock and the "missing docking port" alert pointing at the wrong station. Ships now only dock at the planet they are actually orbiting.
    - Fixed ships teleporting to a far-away dock when toggling auto mode while mid-flight.
    - Fixed the player being teleported to the map when launching to a ship by rocket while in map/camera view.
    - Fixed crashes when opening the "Drop items to Planet" window (quality items and item icon rendering).
    - Fixed "could not create temp hub" when dropping items while a previous drop is still in progress. Drops now queue onto the existing temporary hub, and the temp hub no longer blocks clicking the real control hub.
    - Fixed the "Drop player to Planet" button teleporting remote players up to the ship. It now only works if the player's body is actually on the ship.
    - Fixed the auto-build system occasionally dropping ghosts when a blueprint placed a tile and an entity on the same spot (the dedup key didn't distinguish tile-ghosts from entity-ghosts). The dedup key is now type-aware.
    - Fixed the auto-build system permanently losing entity-ghosts or deconstruction marks when their registration event was missed (e.g. during a dock/undock transition). The periodic rescan now also re-discovers entity-ghosts and deconstruction-marked entities.
    - Converting a ship to a station now moves all hub inventory into the new station hub and replaces Storage Links with Cargo Bays. The conversion is confirmed via a centered popup that warns about possible item loss from unconnected Storage Links.
  Changes:
    - Dock and drop buttons are now only shown when the ship is in orbit and not docked.
    - The "Drop items to Planet" action now opens a selection window so you can choose which item types to drop, with Select All / Select None, a scrollable 3-column checklist, and item counts. Checkboxes line up in a column on the left.
    - Removed the Takeoff button and planet dropdown from the Spaceship Actions GUI.
    - Space Suit equipment grid is now 12x12 and Mech Armor is now 15x15.

Version: 0.9.75
Date: 2026-09-27
  BugFixes:
    - Fixed a crash when opening the ship GUI (missing interrupt scroll pane function).
    - Fixed the docking highlight showing for the ship's owner instead of the player who clicked Dock.
    - The Dock button is now hidden when the ship is already docked.
    - Fixed AND/OR wait conditions behaving incorrectly (a failing "and" condition ignored the "or" toggle on later conditions). They now match vanilla Factorio semantics.
    - Fixed docking alerts (missing port, waiting for dock, blocked area) only showing to the ship's owner in multiplayer. They now show for all connected players.
    - Fixed ships pausing mid-flight on a stale platform state-change event. Ships only pause to dock when they've actually arrived at the scheduled station.
    - Fixed the schedule GUI re-assigning the platform's schedule on every GUI build, which could disrupt in-flight travel.
    - Started working on interrupts (WIP).

Version: 0.9.74
Date: 2026-09-26
  BugFixes:
    - Fixed a ship-cloning duplication bug: vehicles (especially the control hub car) were being both cloned and teleported each dock/undock cycle, creating duplicates. Vehicles are now moved, never duplicated, and existing saves are auto-repaired by removing accumulated duplicates.
    - Fixed a performance hotspot when mining entities during ship teardown (no more per-entity full ship list scans).
    - Added a guard against duplicate ship records when a hub is built, plus a one-time diagnostic on load.
    - Disabled all log-file output in normal play (now gated behind a debug flag) and throttled dock-slot polling.
    - Fixed docking ports staying "occupied" after the ship that docked there was removed.
    - Fixed the Spaceship Actions GUI showing drop buttons while the ship was docked at a station.
    - Fixed duplicate Spaceship Actions GUIs stacking when the control hub was opened repeatedly.
    - Fixed a crash ("Unknown space-location name: none") when taking off via the automatic schedule, especially when spam-clicking Goto.
    - Fixed a hard lockup during ship cloning caused by per-entity spatial lookups when applying wire connections.
  Features:
    - Added localized names and descriptions for all startup settings.
    - Spaceship Flooring and Space Station Platform can now be quick-replaced with each other.
    - Added startup settings to tune the speed of every tick-driven system (scan, clone, cleanup, auto-build, build animation).

Version: 0.9.73
Date: 2026-09-26
  BugFixes:
    - Fixed a crash when opening the ship GUI with an item count wait condition.
    - Fixed item count wait conditions losing their selected item when the GUI updated or reopened.
    - Fixed a ship with a single-station schedule taking back off to orbit after docking; it now stays docked.
    - Fixed a ship continuing toward a station that was deleted from its schedule while traveling; it now retargets to the next station.
    - Fixed the automatic/paused toggle not reflecting the ship's actual mode after toggling.

Version: 0.9.72
Date: 2026-09-26
  Features:
    - Scanning now runs at different speeds based on player attendance (attentive, priority-waiting, and background modes).
    - Added a docking port management system with visual alerts (missing port, waiting for open dock, blocked dock area).

    - Added bridge graphics for inventory extenders and the control hub.
    - Added circuit wire connections between ship and station docking ports.

    - Asteroid collectors are now included in the ship scan.
  Changes:
    - Docking now only targets station platforms (never ship platforms in orbit).

    - Drop-to-planet and dock operations use the player who clicked the button.

  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed auto-build failures after scan cancellation.
    - Fixed temporary hub inventory size drops during scans.

    - Fixed duplicate scan requests for the same ship.
    - Fixed drop-to-planet failing when two players attempted to drop simultaneously.

    - Fixed items being lost when cloning a ship with an extended hub inventory.
    - Fixed the automatic/paused toggle not updating when clicking "goto planet".
    - Fixed adding a planet that already exists in the schedule showing the first occurrence's conditions.
    - Fixed a non-recoverable error opening the ship GUI when an old save had a virtual signal in an item count condition.

Date: 2026-09-19
  Features:
    - Added a scaffolding build animation for ship construction and deconstruction.
