Everything lived in one flat directory, so a diff gave no clue what area it
touched and finding the file you wanted meant knowing its exact name. Twelve
folders now, grouped by what a thing IS rather than what type it is - a
vessel's definition, its component scenes and its upgrade resources sit
together, because that is the set you read when you change one of them.
buildings core controllers enemies logistics planets
resources shaders surface ui vessels vfx world
332 files moved and every res:// reference rewritten - 306 files touched,
including the autoload and main-scene paths in project.godot. Nothing renamed:
this is purely where files sit, so the diff is a pile of pure moves and no
behaviour is buried in it. ui_theme.tres, icon.svg and web_shell.html stay at
the root, where Godot and the export preset expect them.
Verified three ways, because a suite alone would not have caught all of it:
the full 117 pass, the web export builds clean, and the game renders.
The export is why that matters. The FIRST export after the move failed with
"Attempt to open script 'res://GameState.gd'" - the old path - while
project.godot on disk plainly said res://core/GameState.gd. That is this
project's documented Android FUSE mtime trap: Godot served a cached copy of a
file whose content had changed. A `touch` fixed it. Nothing in the test suite
would have found that, because the suite runs from a copy on a native
filesystem - the one place the bug cannot happen.

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 #16, part 3 of #12. BuildController deducted the cost from the
bank at the moment of purchase and refused outright with "Not enough
rocks", so nothing ever had to be delivered anywhere. Each building now
carries its own stock, and an order it cannot pay for yet is QUEUED and
completes by itself once ore arrives.
Records get an `id` because a building has to be referable across the
space <-> planet-surface scene swap, when every Building NODE has been
destroyed and rebuilt. Position would nearly work and then fail on two
buildings placed on the same spot.
Production advances in the GameState autoload, the same way extractor
haulers already do, so an order can complete while the player is down a
gravity well. A finished vessel becomes `ships_owed` rather than being
handed straight to a Fleet that may not exist, and the fleet claims what
it is owed when it next has room.
The craft menu remembers which crafter it was opened for: _process()
clears current_building while any menu is open, so by the next frame the
menu would no longer know. It shows the ore delivered HERE rather than
the bank, since showing the bank would promise something the crafter
cannot actually build.
Ship crafting cannot be supplied until #17 lands - nothing yet moves ore
into a building.

Gameplay and UI
- Research tree at the mothership gates which structures can be built and
grants permanent fleet-capacity upgrades (GameState.SKILL_TREE,
SkillTreeView). Node depth is derived from prerequisites, so the layout
cannot drift out of step with the dependencies.
- Building info popup before committing to a build, with per-building cost
and description.
- Ship crafter redrawn as a space factory with an assembly animation;
mothership redrawn as a radial flagship; command centre as a plotting hub.
- Keyboard and mouse support (WASD, Q/E pivot, wheel zoom) for the web build.
- UI and font scaled up for phone use, via a custom Theme resource -
gui/theme/default_font_size does not reach the default theme.
- Asteroids no longer spawn on top of the fleet's start position.
- Fleet formation origin derived from the layout's own offsets rather than
the centroid, fixing the lurch when a lopsided formation started moving.
- Fleet.stop() brakes from the ship's TRUE motion (velocity +
fleet_velocity). Ship zeroes its velocity when seated in its slot even
while the anchor drags that slot forward, so braking from velocity alone
stopped the fleet dead instead of coasting - and whether it did depended
on the frame rate.
Animation architecture (issue #10)
- Buildings, projectiles and explosion VFX no longer animate by redrawing.
Static geometry is rasterised once in _draw(); moving parts are NeonPiece
children animated through node properties, which reuse the cached
geometry. Every NeonDraw call expands into four antialiased polylines, so
redrawing to move something re-tessellated all of it.
Test suite (issue #8): 1075s -> ~55s
- Runs from a copy on Termux's own filesystem. The project lives on
Android's FUSE bridge, read through proot, where load("res://Main.tscn")
alone cost 8.5s per test against ~2s natively - and nearly every test
loads it.
- Runs 6 tests at a time, in a single proot-distro login, with output
buffered per test and printed only on failure.
- --fixed-fps 60 pins delta instead of measuring the wall clock, so a test's
result no longer depends on how busy the machine is. Without it,
parallelism made two tests fail on 2 of 3 runs.
- A test passes only if it both exits 0 and prints ": PASS".
- 38 tests, green on three consecutive runs.

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.
