FluxWerks v0.5.13 - 17-09-2026
New Features
- Drone Fluid Freight - Drone Ports now ship fluids as well as items. Pump into a port's To Ship tank and request the fluid at the receiving port, the same way as an item.
- Refill At - Each Drone Port request now sets when its drone goes for more: Empty, 25%, 50% or 75% of Keep. Set it in the Configure Requests panel.
- Full Load - A Drone Port request option that keeps the drone at the source until it can bring the whole amount. After five minutes of waiting it leaves with what it has and sends a notification.
- Computer Priority - Computers now have a priority slider in the inspector like power producers. Higher priority Computers run first and lower ones only fill the remaining demand.
- Sand Brick and Cobblestone - Two new placeable blocks. Sand Brick is made from sand, limestone and water in the Foundry, and Cobblestone from stone in the Assembler.
- Gold, Aluminum and Titanium Blocks - Can now be cast from their ingots, gold and aluminum in the Foundry and titanium in the Arc Furnace.
Improvements
- In-World Labels - Actions on a building, belt, pipe or ore deposit now show a short label above it saying what happened, or why not.
- Item Count Labels - The rising item counts from moving items in and out of buildings now start above the building's roof.
- Recipe Paste - Hold Shift and the left mouse button and drag to paste a recipe onto every building you pass over.
- Fluid Tanks - Empty tank slots now show in a building's storage list, and a tank can be reserved for one fluid with the lock mark.
- Drone Cargo - The Drone Port inspector and request panel now show how much a drone can carry. Hover for each slot's contents.
- Drone Port Requests - Keep is now limited to what the port's Delivered slots can hold.
- Wiki - A new Drone Logistics page explains how drone freight works. Open it with the ? button beside a Drone Port's name.
- Log - Building your first Drone Port adds an entry about drone freight and fast travel, linked to the Drone Logistics page.
- Map Ports Tab - Fuel Depots are now listed below the drone ports under their own heading, and the tab's count covers drone ports only.
- Fuel Values - Fuel item tooltips and wiki pages now show each fuel's energy, and the Power & Fuel wiki page compares every fuel in one table.
- Computer Status - A Computer with nothing to do while the reserve is full now shows as idle instead of running.
- Recipe List - Each recipe now shows its icon and how many it makes per minute, sorted alphabetically. Hover one for its inputs, outputs and time.
- Building Status - Hover Exposure or Condition for the exact value. On machines that wear, Exposure is green when sheltered, yellow when partly open, red when fully open.
Bug Fixes

- Fixed machines given no computing at all still drawing full power and making heat.
- Fixed recipe pages in the wiki never showing which research unlocks them.
- Fixed the recipe shown when pointing at a building not updating after pasting a recipe onto it.
- Fixed pasting a recipe onto a machine already set to it throwing away the batch it had just finished.
- Fixed menus and dropdowns closing on their own with a racing wheel or other controller plugged in.
- Fixed mute and volume changes in the music player and notification panel resetting when the game restarts.
- Fixed block textures appearing turned sideways on east and west facing sides.
- Fixed percentages like Exposure showing 0% or 100% when the real value was only close.
- Fixed Log entries suggesting every machine needs shelter from the start, and a few describing mechanics incorrectly.
