Dates are listed in MM/DD/YY format.

v1.2.0 — 12/27/25

Added

• Added Drone scrap support.
• Added Objectives to make Crafting State more clear to the user.
• Added a hotkey for aborting a craft. Currently set to holding left alt. Will be configurable eventually once I get around to it.

Fixed

• Replaced usage of massive int arrays with sparse dictionaries to greatly reduce memory usage. (11 GB game usage -> ~3.6 with identical inventory).
• No longer fully rebuilds paths on inventory change, preserves unchanged paths from previous snapshot.
• Reduced menu rendering time by nearly a factor of 4 in typical scenarios via sparse reads.
• Fixed the pathrow buttons consuming scroll actions (no one mentioned this somehow :sob:)

Changed

• Reduced pressure on garbage collection from reinitializing a bunch of arrays for calculating chain costs,. Now uses a "scratchpad" that just repeatedly gets cleared (no repeated initialization calls).
• Reworked path planning to take a lazy approach to reduce passive mem usage.
