🎮 For players

  • No more creatures trapped in your ship. A wild creature could end up sealed inside the parked ship if it landed on or over one. The ship now evicts any wild creature when it lands (your tamed companions are left alone — they're allowed to follow you aboard), and keeps ejecting any that end up inside, tick by tick. The same guard now applies to planet enemies. (#43)
  • You're truly safe once you're aboard. Fleeing into your ship now also stops the visible attacks — laser drones hold their fire, ground robots stop clawing and wild creatures stop biting at the hull the moment you board. (The server already dealt no damage while aboard; this fixes the misleading on-screen effects.) (#41)
  • Cleaner HUD in space. The planet compass and the day/night–temperature–gravity panel are now hidden while you're piloting in space — they're surface-only readouts. The compass stays on during an EVA so you can still find your way back to the ship. (#39)
  • Feedback is now simply F1. The bottom-right feedback button was effectively never clickable (the cursor is locked for camera look exactly when it was shown), so it's gone. F1 is now the single, reliable way to open the feedback dialog, and it's listed in the on-foot controls hint. (#42)

🛠️ For contributors & self-hosters

  • Automated in-game clip recorder (video + audio). A manifest-driven tool that records short, HUD-free marketing clips with frame-synced audio from the built player — the moving-picture sibling of the screenshot pipeline. (#40)
  • Docker Desktop local-test walkthrough. SELF_HOSTING now has a step-by-step "try the dedicated server locally with Docker Desktop" section, linked from the README. (#38)

🐳 Docker (dedicated server)
