This update lets you start planned Universe routes in game, one jump at a time. OCD Trash is back, and item commands now queue safely instead of being lost to the chatbot cooldown.
Universe: start a warp route in game
Use Start ingame on a planned route to bookmark each jump as you travel, until you reach your destination. Youâll get the bookmark sync item, and can use Skip or Stop while the run is underway.
The run catches up if you arrive at a later jump than expected.
My position and Warp here now use your live in-game system.
Routes can reach Star Fragment systems hidden by the in-game map, but bookmarks only reveal public stars and your own unlocked fragments.
OCD: Trash and queued commands
Trash once again sends items for deletion and asks you to confirm in game. Swaps, Trash, Send and saved GET lists now run through a queue, sending one command every 6 seconds.
Trash everything staged, drop a staged stack on Trash, or drop an OCD cell to trash the amount that isnât staged.
The queue shows progress and a countdown, lets you cancel pending commands, and accepts more swaps while it runs. A single command still sends right away when the queue is idle.

Bounties are back as a real hunt: the Hunter Board is now the board of the new Wanted system, with holographic Wanted posters, fair bounty rules and an end to bounties as a cheap way to track people in PvE.
Everyone with a price on their head now gets a Wanted poster: the reward, who paid into it, a red WANTED BY HWS stamp for an HWS bounty, and where the target was last seen, if you may know that. Online players get a pulsing dot. Prefer the old list? The table is one click away and the board remembers your choice.
Recently collected above the posters shows who collected which bounty in the last days.
Where a target is only shows for an HWS bounty, or for a player bounty of 50M+ on a PvP playfield, and never to the side that paid for it. Everywhere else it says Unknown.
A bounty is now a reward for someone else, not a tracker you get back. The dialog shows the 20 % HWS fee and the total before you click RUN! (50M costs 60M), and tells you right away if the bounty canât be placed.
Minimum 1M. You and your faction can pay into the same target once per 24 hours, and after a bounty was collected there is a 6-hour pause.
Whoever paid, their faction (also one they left less than 7 days ago) and their allies canât collect the bounty. If they kill the target, the bounty simply stays.
Set Wanted zones (the old Guilty zones) put an HWS bounty on everyone who enters, usually 50M. It shows your position to everyone and blocks EGS Stealth until someone collects it or you visit a Clear Wanted zone.
Guilty and egs:noguilty are gone. Collecting 10M or more still gives the bounty hunter bonus.
This update brings the Universe map closer to what you see in game, lets bounty payers finish their own bounties, and gets Patreon daily loot claims moving again when one playerâs claim runs into an error.
The Universe map now uses each serverâs real star list, so stars such as Legan-e and Boratir appear where they are in game. Search results also show the right region for stars.
If you paid into a bounty, you can now collect it by killing the target. You get back your own contribution minus the 20% fee, the bounty ends, and the target gets the 6-hour protection pause.
The bounty dialog explains that the paying side wonât see the targetâs location, and that collecting your own bounty costs the fee.
Patreon auto-claims now keep going if one playerâs EAH read or claim fails. That player will be retried on the next run, so one error wonât stop other patrons from getting their daily loot.
EAH can once again get live marketplace prices from HWS Connect+, helping it price structure sales, insurance and traders using what items really sell for.
Patreon linking works again when the saved creator token has expired and a refreshed token is available.

Switch between the RE EU and RE NA Hunter Boards, or see both together. You can also pause automatic page refreshes by default, while keeping manual refresh available.
Choose HWS+ RE EU, HWS+ RE NA or Combined with the new tabs. Combined shows bounties from both servers, with each bounty marked by its server; if the same player has a bounty on both, youâll see them separately. The board opens on your current server, unless you follow a player link to a specific board.
Online indicators and the bounty dialog now use the server each bounty is on.
The new Auto refresh pages switch in Settings â General is on by default. Turn it off to pause automatic refreshes on pages with live data; you can still refresh manually, or turn auto refresh back on for an individual page from its header.
Dashboard live vitals keep updating either way.
Settings now open on General by default, and the tabs have been reordered.

The Hunter Board now opens with both serversâ bounties in view. Watched players are easier to spot, and Wanted posters now show Steam profile pictures when available.
The Hunter Board now opens on Combined, with RE EU and RE NA tabs one click away. If you jump to a player from Online Players, their bounty is highlighted in Combined on the server where it was placed.
Hunter Board: watched players stay at the top
Players on your watch list now stay above everyone else on every tab, in both poster and table views, no matter how the table is sorted. Watch someone from their poster and they move up straight away.
Wanted poster crosshairs now show the playerâs Steam profile picture when available. If we canât find or load a picture, youâll still see the playerâs initial.
The Hunter Board guide is updated for the tabs, the watch list order and the pictures.

The Structure Viewer imports many more kinds of 3D models, in colour and with smoother hulls. HWS Residences are now set up automatically right after you buy one, and the Com Center has a new Inbox for messages from the HWS team.
Structure Viewer: 3D model hull import, now in colour
Import 3D model hull (HWS Master+) now reads STL, PLY, GLB and self-contained glTF models. A model with vertex colours, material colours or a colour texture paints the hull with up to 32 of its own colours (Use model colours, on by default). Hulls fit much more smoothly, with fewer spikes and steps, and can be as big as the game allows: 250 blocks per axis.
Fit hull shapes now picks from 31 hull shapes besides the cube (slopes, corners, ramps, wallsâŚ). Shape set: All available (default), Basic (cube, half block, slope, corner), or pick the shapes yourself.
Fine is the new default fitting quality.
The model is converted on the HWS server: the dialog counts the seconds and you can cancel. Model files up to 100 MB; compressed meshes and .gltf files that reference separate files are refused with a hint on how to export them.
Residence: set up automatically, plus your new Inbox
Buying an HWS Residence on Support Us no longer waits for an admin: a free copy of your version is set up for you right away, and your new Inbox tells you its coordinates. A version with no free copy left on a server is marked sold out on this server.
Buying again while your Residence is active pays it ahead for more seasons. After each season reset you get your version again by itself, and the Inbox tells you where.
If a Residence canât be set up automatically, the Inbox says so and RexXxuS sets it up by hand. No ticket needed.
Inbox: messages from the HWS team now appear at the top of the Com Center, in your site language. The envelope right of your Steam picture shows a red dot while a message is unread and takes you to it. Opening a message marks it read, or use Mark all read. With browser notifications on, you also get a push.
HWS Trader: items without a stack size (e.g. Hydroponics Bay (Pentaxid)) were priced and sent as amount 1, whatever you entered. The price now follows the amount, and the package carries the amount you asked for.
