v0.8.2-alpha

August 2026

Meltdown Roulette Rebalance, Level-Up Fanfare & Bot Crafting Intelligence

Meltdown Reactor Roulette Visual Overhaul: Streamlined to a clean icon-focused wheel interface (no cluttered text strings) with 8 wedges and calibrated sector hazard positions.
Universal Luck Scaling Across All Minigames: Player Luck stat now dynamically increases the density of Rare & Uncommon element slices (Roulette), vault grid chambers (Tectonic Vault), landing buckets (Graviton Lattice), and reel symbols (Slot Reels).
Ship Level-Up Fanfare: Added triumphant level-up and ship class unlock fanfare modal featuring live canvas confetti/particle bursts, multi-voice harmonic synth arpeggios, animated class crests, and dynamic stat gain comparisons.
Autonomous Bot Crafting Intelligence: Autonomous bot fleet now actively scans the market for component-to-attachment crafting arbitrage, purchasing undervalued components to craft and supply attachments, establishing organic price equilibrium.
Tier-Scaled Profession Respec Costs: Profession respec fees now scale dynamically with ship class and tier (from 1,000 credits for Scout up to 150,000–300,000 credits for Voidrunner) to make switching disciplines a major economic commitment comparable to major ship refits.

📖 Commander Field Manual & Getting Started

🌌 WELCOME TO THE FORGEBELT ASTEROID CORRIDOR

You are the commander of a deep-space mining vessel. Extract raw ores, refine high-tech alloys, craft modular ship systems, and climb the 25-tier vessel ladder to the legendary Voidrunner V capstone.

01 ⛏️ Launch Expeditions & Mine Minerals

Select a mining sector (e.g. Asteroid Belt) and click Launch Expedition (spends Fuel). Drill tap asteroids or trigger high-yield excavation minigames (Roulette, Slot Reels, Graviton Lattice, Tectonic Vault). Keep an eye on sector hazard risk—extreme encounters can damage your hull!

02 🏭 Refine Ore into Components

Choose a discipline (Fabrication, Avionics, or Exotics) under Professions. Feed batches of 5 raw minerals into your refinery to roll for Tier 1, 2, and 3 crafted components (Structural Plates, Avionics Units, Flux Cores, and more).

03 ⚙️ Craft Attachments & Upgrade Ship Tiers

Assemble passive ship attachments (Hull Plating, Risk Dampeners, Core Scanners) in the Attachment Bay to boost your luck, yield, and survivability. Invest credits and refined components into 25 progressive Ship Tiers across 5 vessel classes.

04 📈 Trade on the Market & Fulfill Contracts

Sell excess minerals on the Commodity Market or accept lucrative Corporate Mining Contracts for huge credit payouts. Watch the market's dynamic price impact and supply cycles!

05 🎨 Customize Your Flagship in the Hangar

Visit the Hangar (in the top right) to unlock custom vector hull paint jobs, thruster exhaust colors, decal emblems, quantum auras, mining laser beams, and prestigious pilot titles.

💡 VITAL COMMANDER PROTOCOLS

Refuel & Repair: Use ⛽ Fuel Cells to refuel and 🛡️ Repair Kits on the Ship Card to restore hull integrity.
Track Total Worth: Click your 💎 Total Worth badge in the top right at any time to inspect your complete financial valuation breakdown.
Multi-Sector Gating: Upgrade your ship class (Scout → Prospector → Heavy Miner → Industrial Rig → Voidrunner) to unlock higher sectors with richer exotics.
