What is this
Every Thursday, I will share a dev diary about what we’ve been working on over the past few weeks. I’ll focus on the interesting challenges and solutions that I encountered. I won’t be able to cover everything, but I’ll share what caught my interest.
Why am I doing it
I want to bring our community along on this journey, and I simply love writing about things I’m passionate about! This is my unfiltered dev journal, so please keep in mind that what I write here are my thoughts and will be outdated by the time you read this, as so many things change quickly. Any plans I mention aren’t set in stone and everything is subject to change. Also, if you don’t like spoilers, then don’t read this.

Sometimes it’s the smallest changes that make the biggest impact, and we’re sure there’s something in Prosperity Update for you!
Here are just a few of our favorites:
- Expanded Grid Storage settings for server admins, including location limitations, combat delays, timer controls, and more!
- Automatically refill Hydrogen and Oxygen Bottles when interacting with a Refill Station, Survival Kit, or Medical Room.
- Lost a grid somewhere out in the void? Ping eligible grids and create a GPS point to help track them down.
- Clearer language in Store Blocks, making it easier to understand what type of transaction or interaction is taking place.
- Various UI improvements to the Services Terminal.
- A new space respawn pod, purpose-built to provide a more balanced start for players beginning their adventure in deep space.
- We’re also continuing to improve mod support for Grid Storage and the Economy System, giving you better options and pathways to bring your vision to life!
