43 changes in this update

Added

8 changes

  • Season Core: a protected 10×10×10 structure at the centre of the mass. A crew of recent miners must strike it together

  • Worker Drone Bays. Press F to deploy workers that excavate flyable 3×3 tunnels

  • Persistent crew banners showing nearby miners’ names and distances, with a symmetric opt-out setting.

  • Persistent return positions so miners resume near their previous working face.

  • Season records, contribution ranks and titles displayed beneath returning miners’ names.

  • Proper multi-season numbering and fresh-start progression between masses

  • Added 10 s&box achievements.

  • Automatic connection recovery, server heartbeats and Field Control warnings around server updates.
