	~~A lifecycle-cleanup patch:~~ '''~~uncollected Ultra Dense / Hyper Dense asteroids~~''' ~~and '''idle unscouted pirate strongholds''' despawn so quiet regions do not keep permanent jackpots or ancient fleets~~.		An '''iOS stability hotfix''' — no gameplay balance changes. Lifecycle cleanup (asteroid jackpot despawn and pirate unscouted despawn) ships in [[Version 1.4.5]].

	~~See [[Asteroid Harvesting]] and [[Pirates]]. Or open '''Settings → Quick Guides''' in-game.~~

	~~== Balance ==~~

	~~=== Asteroid~~ jackpot despawn ~~===~~

	* Untouched '''Ultra Dense''' / '''Hyper Dense''' fields disappear after roughly '''3 days''' with no further growth (idle ore regen has stopped bumping them).
	* While a field is still growing, it stays; the timer effectively starts once it hits its size cap and ~~sits uncollected.~~
	* After despawn, the slot follows the normal '''12–24 hour''' empty cooldown before a new field can appear.
	* '''Example:''' A field promotes to Ultra Dense and finishes growing on Monday; if no Orbital Refineries arrive by Thursday, it despawns and the cycle restarts.

	~~=== Pirate~~ unscouted despawn ~~===~~

	* Pirate strongholds that are '''unscouted''' (and unattacked) ~~for about '''7 days''' despawn and re-enter the normal respawn cooldown, then re-roll fresh fleet strength and resources~~.
	* The timer starts at spawn if nobody has scouted this presence yet; a scout or attack resets it. ~~Inbound fleets block the despawn.~~
	* '''Example:''' A Realm 2 stronghold spawns Monday with no probes; by the following Monday it vanishes and later returns as a fresh roll.

=== Asteroid jackpot despawn ===

* Untouched '''Ultra Dense''' / '''Hyper Dense''' fields disappear after roughly '''3 days''' if nobody starts mining them.
* The timer starts when the field first reaches Ultra Dense (spawn roll or idle promotion), not from every idle growth tick.
* After despawn, the slot follows the normal '''12–24 hour''' empty cooldown before a new field can appear.
* '''Example:''' A field promotes from Dense to Ultra Dense on Monday; if no Orbital Refineries arrive by Thursday, it despawns and the cycle restarts — so stale galaxies do not fill with permanent jackpots.
