Forgejo #5. A new building gated behind a "Vessel Science" research
node. Its own screen upgrades each vessel type - weapon, movement,
shield and freight - and unlocks the shield vessel, which the ship
crafter can then build.
Vessel research is deliberately NOT more nodes in the mothership tree:
that tree gates what may be built at all and is a strategic spine, while
these are repeatable tuning on vessels already owned. Levels cost
base * (level + 1), so the third point in something is not the price of
the first. Upgrades are read live rather than baked in at build time, so
researching one improves the ships already flying.
The shield is personal, not a bubble: it absorbs a hit that would
destroy the vessel - ships have no health, contact kills - and is then
down until it cycles. Its ring is a NeonPiece child toggled with
`visible` per #10, not a redraw of the hull.
The build menu now holds six entries across three rows, which the #21
repacking already handles.
Enemies still have no weapon, so "blocks shots" has nothing to block
yet; that is filed separately rather than widened into this ticket.

Forgejo #18, part 5 of #12. The building only - the vessels that do the
hauling are #19. Placeable, costed at 30, gated behind a new "Freight
Handling" research node hanging off Logistics, with its own info popup,
build-menu glyph and map marker.
Drawn as an octagonal dock ring with berth arms and a squared-off freight
core: deliberately radial-but-flat so it does not read as a small
mothership, which is the only structure with swept arms. Its stationed
transports are NeonPiece children of one rotating holder, per #10 - the
geometry is rasterised once and only the holder's rotation changes, so
the traffic costs no redraws.
Building._draw()'s match has a catch-all that renders anything
unrecognised as a ship crafter, so a missing case is silent and looks
almost right. The test checks for the hub's own _hub_traffic holder
rather than trusting that something plausible appeared - which caught
exactly that: a _ready() patch had silently not applied and the hub was
rendering through the crafter branch.
The build menu grew a third row. Every button, label and price moved:
the old row occupied 332px against a 372px pitch, and three of those do
not fit above a 1280px screen. Rows are now shorter (128px buttons, 40px
price digits) at a 290px pitch, ending at y=1176. Rendered and looked at
- the first attempt tightened the pitch alone and left every price
overlapping the row beneath it, which no headless test would have seen.

Forgejo #11: buildings the player has placed now appear on the world
map. They are placed freely in space rather than tied to a chunk, so
they get their own pass in WorldMapContent._draw() rather than riding
along with the chunk markers. Each type has its own shape and colour,
mirroring Building.gd's constants so a marker reads as the same
building you built.
Forgejo #9: a planet with an extractor built on it now shows it, in
both places you look at a planet - an amber derrick on its outline in
space, and a matching badge on its world-map marker. The extractor
lives on PlanetSurface.tscn, a scene you are not looking at from
space, so an already-mined planet was otherwise indistinguishable
from an untouched one until you landed on it.
The positioning steps are factored out (building_markers(),
chunk_has_extractor_badge(), extractor_derrick_tip()) so headless
tests can assert on them - --headless has no GPU and draws no pixels,
so there is nothing to check in _draw() itself. Both features were
also rendered for real via tests/screenshot.sh and looked at.
extractor_derrick_tip() exists because the first version of the
"derrick is not buried inside the planet" check measured the furthest
of all four derrick points, which passes a derrick pointing straight
into the ground: the base corners sit a half-width off the rim vertex
and clear the outline on their own. Mutation-testing caught it.
screenshot.sh now clears a stale /tmp/.X99-lock. A run killed
mid-screenshot leaves it behind and Xvfb then refuses :99, which
resurfaces later as Godot's misleading "X11 Display is not available".

A fleet of neon-outlined ships explores a procedurally generated, seeded
infinite world: tap/joystick steering, pinch zoom, formation pivoting,
planet landings, an ore economy with extractors and haulers, and player
built structures (mothership, ship crafter, command centre).
All art is hand-drawn with draw_* calls rather than textures, and the
backgrounds are camera-relative shaders so they stay precise at large
world coordinates.
Includes a 35-test headless suite (tests/run_tests.sh) plus screenshot
tooling that renders real frames through Xvfb and Mesa softpipe, since
--headless has no GPU.
Excluded from version control: .godot/ (import cache, and it holds
export credentials), builds/, android/build/ and packaged APKs - all
regenerable, and ~325 MB combined.
