Maintenance Release 2026.01 Live Now

The new year is off to a great start with our first maintenance release of 2026! Today's 2026.01 update brings a bunch of quality-of-life improvements, new storage options, easier inventory management, and a solid list of fixes to make your time in APEX a much smoother experience.

New Storage Buildings

We've added four new specialized storage buildings to give you more flexibility in managing your planetary infrastructure:

• STA Auxiliary Storage: +2500t / +2500m³
• STV Volume Storage: +2500t / +7500m³
• STW Weight Storage: +7500t / +2500m³
• STE Expansive Storage: +10000t / +10000m³

Multi-item Transfer

A long-requested feature is here: select multiple materials at once and drag them to another inventory. No more tedious single-item transfers! (More details in the recent devlog #512)

Other Highlights

We've made several tweaks across the board:

• Better company creation UI on smaller screens and more robust screen selection.
• Simplified FX trading by removing the upper half of the matrix (brokers and manual commands still work).
• New player experience improvements: FREE license players can accept custom loans (payout + installments only), 1.5x starting materials, luxury consumables in intro contracts, and faster first production/flight.

Plus a good number of fixes, including better handling of infrastructure upgrades/fuel/upkeep and allowing STL-only ships through gateways.

You can find the full release notes on the forums.

As always, we'd love to hear what you think: join us on Discord or the forums!

Happy trading!
