*HUGE* February Review and Wrap-Up

[sblack]

Hey all!
February was a crazy busy month, packed with numerous updates, fixes, and community-driven improvements. Brace yourself for a massive list of changes to enhance your gaming experience! We've been refining gameplay and listening to community feedback, from bug fixes to new group management features. Let's dive into the details!

Gameplay & System Fixes​

• Spaceship Deeding Issue Resolved: Players can now successfully pack spaceships into deed form. If you were affected previously, use the "Empty Loot Crate" radial option to apply the fix retroactively.
• Resource Specialist Jewelry Fixed: The resource increase percentage now applies correctly.
• Housing Trade Fix: Houses will no longer become no-trade after being destroyed or redeeded.
• Alphabetical Sorting for Macros & Resources: Macros and all resource deeds (15k, 30k, and 60k) are now sorted alphabetically for more effortless organization.
• Hardmode Treasure Hunter Jewelry Storage: Now properly storable in jewelry boxes.
• Red vs. Blue Tef Fix: Tef will no longer persist after a battlefield ends, ensuring mixed teams no longer apply Tef to friendly targets.

Important Update: Client Compatibility​

• Only Beyond clients can now connect to the galaxy.
• Modified clients are no longer supported.
• Attempting to connect with an unsupported client will prompt a required patch download.
• Repeated connection attempts with non-Beyond clients will result in a 15-minute suspension, with more extended penalties for repeated offenses.

• Contextual Options: If a player is below the leader, only "Move Down" is available, and vice versa for bottom-listed players.
• Group Loot Changes: Default loot distribution now follows a random loot system instead of free-for-all.

UI & Functional Updates​

• Toolbar Slot Locking Change: The previous menu option has been removed. You can now lock toolbar slots directly on the toolbar via a right-click menu.
