Also fixed a hardlock after a Wanderback teleportation, a crash when right-clicking unexplored star systems, and a hardlock that trapped players in Corporation ships after they were no longer part of the Corporation.
88 Solo Offline Mode
99  
1010 Two weeks after launch, on June 26, 2026, the developer added Solo Offline Mode, one of the most-requested features. It lets you play the whole game entirely offline as a separate experience from the shared online galaxies. You switch to it from the menu under Options, then Change Region, then Offline Mode. Because it is not a persistent online world, systems that depend on other players, such as the shared marketplace and Corporation rankings, are turned off, and its saves are kept separate from multiplayer progression. For the full detail on how it differs from the online galaxies, see Corporations and Co-Op.

1212 Balancing and Quality of Life
1313  
1414 The June 26 balancing patch was described as the first of several. Its focus was the later game, which some players found too grindy: it increased the default base Footprint, reduced the footprint cost of common structures, and lowered the Credit cost of several higher-tier Permits, alongside cheaper recipes for some ship-part components. These are ongoing adjustments, so exact costs and limits continue to change between updates. See Base Building and Progression: Permits and Experience for the systems these changes affect.

1616 Developer Priorities
1717  
1818 On July 3, 2026 the developer shared its near-term priorities. Balancing remains a top focus, especially for the late game, along with continued bug fixing, stabilisation, and performance optimisation. The team also outlined quality-of-life work in progress: a crafting overhaul, described as Crafting 2.0, that adds crafting queues and the ability to craft multiple items in a single action; improved ways for players to find a Corporation and for Corporations to recruit members; and clearer in-game help and tips. Heavier roadmap features are planned to follow once these are addressed.

20+Announced but Not Yet Released
21+ 
22+On August 21, 2026 the developer published a preview of work in progress on the Workshop and Smelter, a new storage building, and a set of quality-of-life changes. None of it has shipped yet. The newest build at the time of writing is still v0.3.23424 from three days earlier, so everything in this section describes what has been announced, not how the game currently behaves. Treat the specifics as subject to change until a patch note confirms them.
23+ 
24+IssueStatusNotesCrashes when DLSS is enabledFix on its wayTurning DLSS off avoids the crash until the fix lands.Shipyard tutorial will not confirm a Scanner installationInvestigatingPlacing the Scanner module and confirming does not apply the change, and no error is shown, which blocks tutorial progress.Stuck inside the spaceshipFix on its wayRestarting through Steam to pick up the latest build, then using the respawn option, clears it.Character or ship stuck, or falling through the groundFixedThe respawn option in the settings menu recovers a stuck character or ship.Solo Offline Mode server errorFixedSome players could not reach Offline Mode.
25+The headline change is that the Workshop and Smelter would no longer require you to stand at the workstation until a progress bar fills. Production would continue after you walk away, and a queueing system would automatically produce the intermediate resources a recipe needs. Manual crafting would be capped at recipes taking under five minutes, with anything longer intended to run through base automation instead. The interface would list every resource a recipe requires and disable the craft button when one is missing.
26+ 
27+The developer also set out three intended scales of production, framed around the fact that a persistent world keeps evolving while a player is offline.
28+ 
29+ScaleNameWhat it coversScale 1Active craftingSmall batches produced manually in limited quantities.Scale 2Prepared CraftingSpecific batches queued before heading out on an expedition such as mining, exploration or hauling.Scale 3Idle CraftingBackground production that runs continuously at your base while you are away or offline.
30+Alongside that, automated crafting times would come down and manual crafting times would go up slightly. The stated reason is that manual crafting had become more efficient than automation even for recipes meant to benefit from it, which undercut the value of building a production line at all.
31+ 
32+Technology Experience
33+ 
34+Technology experience would move away from a per-base capacity cap. Under the announced system, individual items carry production milestones: produce a set number of a resource to reach a milestone and earn Technology experience, with higher milestones worth more. Once an item’s milestones are complete you would need to diversify into other production lines to keep earning. The developer says the current cap pushed players into dismantling and rebuilding bases to restore a higher gain rate, which was never the intent.
35+ 
36+Advanced Warehouse and Personal Storage
37+ 
38+A new Advanced Warehouse would sit at Technology Tier 3, built from 40 Stainless Plate, 12 Structural Beam, 40 Concrete and 3 Microchip. Compared with the Basic Warehouse it would offer more of almost everything.

41+A Personal Storage would also be added, letting you deposit loot at any station and reach it from every other station, and the Micro Furnace would get more storage capacity so it stays useful for longer before larger production buildings unlock.

25-Issues resolved earlier in Early Access include a black screen affecting German players, the interface disappearing after a UI scale change, Russian text rendering as question marks, quadrant transfers losing progress, a battery charge underflow when removing every battery, and sound stuttering. Problems not on the hub can be reported with the in-game bug reporting tool.

Quadrant transfers came off the list entirely once the August 18, 2026 update turned the feature back on. Problems not on the hub can be reported with the in-game bug reporting tool.

2750 Not every build gets its own announcement. Version v0.3.22769 has no patch note of its own and is known only from a later hotfix, which credits it with a fix for players who could not connect to certain servers. Expect small gaps like this between the numbered notes.

2952 Early Access Cadence
3053  
3154 Because SpaceCraft is online and still in active development, this cadence of fixes and additions is expected to continue, and the developer maintains a public known-issues list that tracks the status of reported problems. See Getting Started to begin playing and Overview for a summary of the game’s systems.
