That’s a very kind offer, thank you. I had a kofi page but I turned it off. I’ve got enough budget to coast the site to shutdown so I’ll only accept support in emotional, moral and spiritual currencies until further notice 😀
We're sorry to announce that Regolith will be shutting down permanently. The site will stay online until June 1, 2026, but there won’t be any more updates going forward.

Pour mes francophones, une excellente vidéo expliquant le regolith youtu.be/hVOK2MFImEc?... #StarCitizen
Thanks. I think it’s probably safest to stick with the plain backgrounds for now but I’ll let you know when I’m ready to scale it up.
Thanks! I may take you up on that. There is some question about using SC screenshots as art in a third-party app.
I've toyed with the idea of doing a competition or something and getting submissions. Maybe down the road. For now I've got some simple CSS trickery until I find something better.
FYI @bastage42.bsky.social and @warriorstreak.bsky.social I've done a bit of soul searching:

I have decided to remove all AI-generated graphics from Regolith, mainly for ethical reasons. If anyone is interested in the "why" of it all I wrote a blog post about it

Regolith 1.4.5: 🎄 OCR in the browser and SC 4.5 support
This is kind of a massive release:
- OCR now works in-browser
- FIX: work orders > 2 billion aUEC causing errors
- Refinery bonuses now pull from UEX have been updated to 4.5.
- Performance improvements across the board.
Heads-up: 4.5 changed a lot and our systems are taking time to catch up. It's also a good chance to tackle some systemic issues that cropped up (like work orders that break when they get bigger than 2 Billion aUEC). Thanks for your patience while we sort all this out.
Yeah. the moral case against it is definitely stronger than for it I think. I’ve got some thoughts that will need long form and nuance. Nuance in 2025… Don’t see how that could go wrong… I’ll leave these up as part of the conversation for now.
I totally respect that. Just imagine if it were trained consensually and if every time you used it somewhere a penguin didn’t catch fire…. <sigh>
Strange times.
It absolutely could.... and probably should. For now I'm using it for giggles and backgrounds but I not in the foreground or anything commercial. That's just the arbitrary, ever-evolving line I'm drawing. Do have your own line?
The Space Mining Boom - How Resources Will Shape the Future
youtu.be/0l5Sv54pgYI
From lunar regolith to metal-rich asteroids, this episode examines how off-world resources could spark the largest economic boom in human history — and what the fuel, transport, and political math actually looks like.
I agree!
Last one today.... promise. Nano Banana noise. #StarCitizen #SpaceMining #AIArt Notice the subtle Regolith callout on the floor.
More Nano Banana nonsense. Bringing some Regolith branding into the SC concept art. #StarCitizen #SpaceMining #AIArt
That's because we HIDE it because..... it's a treasure hunt? Admittedly it needs to be a bit more front-and-center. I will look into that.
Nano Banana is pretty rad for making desktop backgrounds. #StarCitizen #SpaceMining #AIArt
@redmonstersc.bsky.social has done it again with what will likely become the go-to ore mining resource for patches to come! #StarCitizen #SpaceMining
In honour of father's day (but probably not in enough time to ship for it, sorry) celebrate your membership to the nerdiest of clubs. #SpaceMining #StarCitizen

Pour ceux d'entre vous qui préfèrent le français, Ludik's a ce qu'il vous faut. Un de ces jours j'aimerais beaucoup traduire le site...

To merch or not to merch. That is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and blaster bolts of outrageous merchlessness or take arms against a sea of merch.
Hot off the presses you can now support us with sexy merch!

That’s going to be a heck’uv’a refinery job!
It’s so great to see the tools and new features working as intended (more or less). @redmonstersc.bsky.social regularly pushes the multi-crew features of regolith to the limit!

If you haven’t seen @redmonstersc.bsky.social ‘s intro to mining video you really need to:
Loudguns just did a great video about ROC/FPS mining in 4.1. It’s definitely worth checking out:

Regolith just got a great shoutout from @redmonstersc.bsky.social on the @spacetomato.bsky.social podcast. Great talk about the future of mining in SC 4.1 and beyond! youtu.be/maAjDQY-iUA?...
And there’s a part 2 about using Regolith sessions

Excellent video on the standalone work order calculator!
