Michi is working on bugfixes and announces a maintenance release.

Quite a few days have passed since the last devlog. There are five operational gateways now, two pairs are up and running and providing their jump services between Circe and Montem and between Hephaestus and Griffonstone. While setting everything up, the responsible players found a few bugs that I am currently looking into.
One of the bugs concerns inventories that belong to the infrastructure but are being used by companies: construction, upkeep and gateway fuel stores. They work as expected when dragging materials from a ship to them, or the other way round, but using the "unload" or "unload on arrival" actions will cause a loss of material. This is due to the way they work: Access to them is only granted for a limited time and for specific purposes, for example, a contract to provide gateway fuel. Behind the scenes an inventory transfer action will check if the infrastructure owns the target inventory and tell it about the transfer. In the case of the "unload" actions, this doesn't happen, and thus the transfer will not work properly and result in unexpected behavior.
There are also a few other bugs that I am currently looking into. The goal is to fix them all and release a maintenance release by the end of the month. I prepared a release notes topic in the forums for this maintenance release. It will also contain the new storage buildings and multi-item transfers I wrote about in the last devlogs. The release notes are not complete yet, I'll add more as I go.
Of course, we also have a monthly economic report for you. We added a new panel to the top showing the active companies by faction. Active in this context means every company that had at least one user interaction within the last 72 hours.

Finally, a reminder: We phased out the physical perks in the supporter packs at the end of the year. In order for us to be able to send out the last goodie bags, we need you to tell us your shipping address and other details. If you bought a supporter pack that contains physical perks, please fill in your details in this form. If you already filled that out, please double-check that the information is correct. Thank you!
As always, we'd love to hear what you think: join us on Discord or the forums!
Happy trading!
