Changelog

Version: 1.3.3
Date: 2026-10-24
  Changes:
    - Much lighter on UPS: the mod keeps a list of its buildings per platform instead of searching every platform every 10 ticks.
    - Names for the hidden thrust controller and afterburner recipes.

Version: 1.3.2
Date: 2026-10-24
  Changes:
    - The solar sail is now a real thruster that burns sunlight: its thrust shows on the platform panel, a platform with only sails departs on schedule by itself, and the captain's bridge throttles sails like other thrusters.
    - Sails have a metal frame with corner nodes; neighbouring sails meet frame to frame.
    - Sails from earlier versions are converted to the new sail when a save is loaded.
    - Afterburner has no pipes any more: it takes +50% fuel from each thruster it boosts.
    - Afterburner wear raised to 4% health per second (the hub's repair keeps up with one afterburner, not two), and a boosted thruster glows, sparks and smokes.

Version: 1.3.1
Date: 2026-10-24
  Changes:
    - The solar sail is now a long 8x2 energy mesh with a light sweeping across it; sails placed side by side join into one sheet.
    - Sail thrust and cost scaled to the bigger size (21000 thrust at Nauvis sunlight).
    - Sails are engines of their own: a platform with sails and no thrusters now leaves for its next stop and flies.
    - Captain's bridge has its own window: throttle slider 0-100% and cruise speed. With a wire connected you pick the red/green inputs and the throttle and speed signals; a signal on the network overrides the window.
    - Captain's bridge must touch the hub or a cargo bay.
    - Afterburner is off unless its circuit condition is set and true. It boosts the thrusters it touches by +50% each (up to +100%) and wears them by 2.5% health per second; burns 120 fuel and 120 oxidizer per second.
    - Thrust controller has 1 module slot and works only on the thrusters it touches. New straight sprite.
    - /ship-test builds a second ship with sails only, and the afterburners start switched off.

Version: 1.2.2
Date: 2026-10-23
