- 3d Renders batch implemented
- Friendly Alien Trader fleets now apply distinct high-contrast colours directly to their production 3D hulls, so later ships remain easy to identify in Dust Rush and the full game without relying on retired sprite artwork.
- Completing the first Family Personal Project and first Planetary Personal Project now awards their own Steam achievements in the full game.
- The Friendly Alien Trader now uses its fully refined production ship, with a longer engineered tail, fitted curved trim, richer materials, detailed assemblies, and hull-mounted raw/clean dust indicators that move with the craft.
- The main dust-mining station now has a fully refined industrial finish, with a rebuilt tractor lens, faceted Control Room glass, a dark wrapped cargo container, gunmetal structural strips, weathered pipes, clearer dishes, construction-caged corner lights, and stronger material contrast across its modules.
- The Meteor Miner now has high-contrast construction stripes and decals on its clamp arms, graphite gripping tips, and a sharper silver corkscrew drill that rotates while drilling; its unrelated tractor-style globe lens has been removed.
- The Meteor Miner, Cargo Pod, Space Dust Stringer, Dust Dronie, Direct Dust Shuttle, and Dust Push Tractor now use fresh top-down snapshots of their current 3D models for placement ghosts, Inventory, and Shop artwork instead of their outdated 2D previews.
- Trading Outpost category tabs now show their full-opacity item artwork centred beyond the coloured tab borders at 50% larger, with Ship Systems and Meteor Miner artwork at 70% larger for clearer visual balance.
- Dust Rush now offers up to four automated Cargo Pods that collect raw dust from the Spaceport, return it to the main ship, and share three doubling capacity and speed upgrades.
- Manually released Cargo Pods now dock when close to the main ship or a compatible dust receiver, while distant automated pods resume their route and selecting another pod transfers control instead of creating an unintended multi-pod group.
- Cargo Pod fleet upgrades now progressively colour seven top ribs, four corner blocks, and five matching four-sided bands in bright coral orange, giving every pod a shared 16-step visual record of its applied upgrades.
- Docked Cargo Pods now sit against the main station frame again instead of appearing lifted above it.
- The Spaceport Dust Shuttle now uses a fully reconstructed production model with a faceted transport hull, recessed cockpit, framed orange cargo cassettes, integrated engines, richer surface detail, and restrained cyan functional lighting.
