Version 0.9.+ focuses on closing the last major UI gap and polishing core systems. The headline addition is the fully implemented Tools & Equipment Tab, which finally exposes the previously backend only tool system through a complete UI. This feature is research gated via the new “Advanced Tooling Facility” node, requiring all Tier 3 research, a steep multi resource cost, a 10 minute research time, and a 5,000m depth minimum positioning tools as a true endgame progression layer.
