Legacy of the Ark: The Long Awakening — v1.8.1 "Impermanence Hotfix 1"

Your progress is safe. No reset, nothing you own is taken away. If your level, directives or leaderboard score had stopped moving, this is the update that starts them again.

FIXED

• Directives asking you to earn Energy no longer sit at zero forever. Past a certain lifetime total, the counter behind them could not register another second of production — and a Legacy Cycle made it permanent. The further you had progressed, the more certainly it hit you. It also silently stopped your Bridge goal, daily/weekly objectives, Live Event goals and your Global Ark Goals contribution.

• Your level, XP bar, leaderboard score and season score move again. All four read that same stalled counter. Your standing was never wrong, only frozen — it resumes from where you actually are.

• Achievements measured by total Energy earned can be reached again.

• The Boost screen no longer traps you after a Legacy Cycle — you are returned to the surge meters automatically.

• Boost no longer stutters when you buy, and the long freeze while a batch of achievements unlocks is gone.

• Endless Memory: capped Echo cost-reduction tiers are now granted free and stepped over, instead of raising that path's price for nothing. Buy All Max works there again.

• Buy All Max now spreads evenly across the four endless paths instead of pouring everything into the first.
• A goal rolled right after a prestige no longer locks in a 1 Memory Core reward forever.
• Expeditions name their materials correctly again.

CHANGED
• "Lessons Preserved" is now "Lessons Recorded" — it counts the Lesson upgrades you buy in a cycle. It never kept Lessons through one, and the old name implied otherwise.
