A small asteroid-lifecycle patch: uncollected Ultra Dense and Hyper Dense fields despawn about 3 days after idle growth stops so quiet regions cannot fill with permanent max-size jackpots.

Asteroid harvesting details: Asteroid Harvesting. 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.
