Avorion Fixes Update - February 12, 2026
Date: February 12, 2026
Avorion, the procedural co‑op space sandbox where players build ships from dynamically scalable blocks, has rolled out a comprehensive set of fixes, stability improvements, and new features. The update aims to enhance gameplay across single‑player, LAN multiplayer, and larger sector engagements.
Beta Branch - Experimental Changes
Players can now opt into the Beta Branch - Newest Changes & Experimental Features via Steam:
Steam → Properties → Betas → ‘Beta Branch - Newest Changes & Experimental Features’.
Use at your own risk.
Networking Stability Improvement
The update fixes lag and rubber‑banding issues that appeared in:
- Single‑player (Steam offline mode)
- LAN Multiplayer
- Rift sectors
- Sectors with many enemies
This should provide smoother connections and more reliable gameplay.
New Features
- Harvest command for station fighters: Fighters can now execute the Harvest command across the entire sector.
- Ship‑menu UI upgrade: Sub‑systems can be removed from disabled slots (e.g., after scaling a ship down). Removal follows the same rules as active slots - permanent upgrades are destroyed unless you are near an equipment dock.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed ship‑rotation speed being unintentionally reduced at high FPS.
- Fixed tutorial breakage caused by dismissing crew members.
- Fixed Black Market Trader Missions misbehaving in territories owned by factions the player is at war with.
- Fixed active Supply Factory command windows showing outdated data or data from another ship.
- Fixed fighter sub‑system bonuses not displaying correctly in the build‑menu stats.
- Fixed stray camera animation that played when entering a rift while moving through large player ships.
- Fixed mouse‑wheel slider adjustments in the shipyard’s build‑ship menu from not working correctly.
- Fixed shield buffs not resetting after boarding a buffed pirate ship.
- Fixed encyclopedia search failure to match entries containing "co‑op".
- Fixed commands being unintentionally issued through open windows in Strategy mode.
- Mod uploader no longer uploads files or folders that start with a dot (e.g., ".git").
- Dedicated Server Runner: Fixed the Freeplay Settings window and the Troubleshooting window being only partially visible.
