- Added the Cosmic Ray Gun: a unique 2,500-credit Space Pirate defensive placeable available in the main game and Dust Rush. It hooks one tier 2–10 dust particle into its visible chamber, charges and fires 30 tier-scaled sweeping plasma rays, prioritises creatures when enabled, and leaves a lingering burning scar that damages meteors, comets, pirates and creatures; its targeting menu, hover sta…
- Added a scrollable Dialogue History for Story Events and Ship Bridge conversations, keeping the newest discussions first in each run and making them available at any time through the J shortcut with the standard Escape close control. - Dialogue History now renders above the Ship Bridge Control Room when opened with J, and both it and the Dust Mining Skills Programme use the authored outlined…
- The Spaceport now feels alive with a health-responsive planet-side glow that shifts from red-orange to blue-white as Zoveka heals, complementary far-side shading, a slowly rotating glass-dome interior, restrained navigation beacons and sign shimmer, and orbiting intake-capture energy. - Homeworld-to-Spaceport traffic now begins immediately with a single active shuttle before minute 25, expand…
- Ship force-field shots against Space Pirates now land on the camera-facing surface of the 3D hull, keeping the impact connection and sparks visible instead of depth-rendering underneath the ship body. - Homeworld-to-Spaceport traffic shuttles and the shared Area 2/title-screen planetary cargo ships now use distinct, fully refined production 3D designs with angular blue glass, detailed engine…
- Starting or loading any gameplay run now clears all previous run-scoped runtime state before applying the selected save, preventing upgrades, Cargo Pod statistics, Mega Upgrades, Area 2 reroll costs, finale flags, and interaction state from leaking between slots or game modes. This clean save-state boundary begins with schema 53, so older playable-demo saves are intentionally shown as empty s…
- The Particle Auto Merger SFX volume knob in audio settings now drives all auto-merge hooks: dust merge start, dust merge, and particle-auto-merger playback now all use that same single slider. - Gameplay HUD can now be hidden and shown with a remappable F2 shortcut in the slide-out keyboard shortcut UI; while hidden, raw dust and credit HUD reward feedback (visual and audio) is fully suppress…

- Save deletion feedback now appears inside the cleared slot for three seconds instead of overlapping the lower menu frame. - New games now reveal the static Homeworld Vista through a gradual four-second fade before its camera motion and first dialogue box begin. - The first News Flash now waits until three minutes of gameplay, keeping the opening tutorial clear. - Save-slot rows now keep their…
- A one-time Comet Storm can now strike late-game dust shortages, opening with a localized News Flash and family warning before an opening Plasma Comet, synchronized ambient and Ancient Comet waves, and a final two-comet plasma barrage sweep across Zoveka. - Sound effects now receive a subtle randomized pitch variation each time they play, making repeated cues feel less mechanical while preserv…
- Dust Rush now lets players buy up to six colour-coded Spaceport shuttles that repeatedly deliver raw dust to the ship, with increasing prices and cargo capacity for each new shuttle. - Large dust particles once again show their raw-dust value when hovered at close camera zoom in both the main game and Dust Rush. - Large resource, currency, score, cost, and capacity values now use a consistent…

- Playable Demo player builds now compile with a dedicated Demo-content symbol. The Planet Rescue Centre exposes only the Stratosphere Junk Zapper, Ozone Fabricator, and Surface Water Purifier plus their operating-budget projects; the other healing item acquisition and placement paths are unavailable, and the Dust-powered Space Engine Kit's research, fabrication, inventory, installation, and re…
