Star Citizen 4.10 PTU adds mining and cargo updates

Star Citizen’s 4.10 PTU build has added a slate of mining-focused changes, new ships in in-game shops and a broad round of bug fixes, according to community reports and patch coverage from recent videos.

The biggest gameplay changes appear to center on mining. Players are reporting three new mining modules — Clearcut, Deluge and Overrun — that offer different boosts to laser power, charge rate and resistance reduction. The PTU also includes new blueprint rewards for mining pods in Baglia’s missions, with increased cargo capacity options for crafted pods, including 20 standard cargo units for the Gollum MC4 pod and 15 for a new MISC pod.

Alongside the mining changes, the patch reportedly expands the list of ships and modules available in shops. Community coverage mentions additions such as the Aurora M2 with cargo and missile modules, the Krueger L22 Alpha Wolf, the MISC Hull B, the Gollum Ox and the Greycat UTV. At the same time, the Aurora Mark 1 has reportedly been removed from shops, making it harder to obtain.

The PTU has also brought several quality-of-life and stability fixes. Reported fixes include contract-sharing restrictions for item reward missions, progress fixes for refueling missions, NPC respawn improvements, vendor positioning corrections, ASOP terminal updates and inventory sorting adjustments. Other issues addressed in community reports include executive hangar access, armor and item bugs at Klescher prison, decal corrections on the Clipper ship and false damage displays on the Gollum mining arm.

Not all of the test build’s problems are resolved, however. Players are still reporting a broken double-click function for equipping items, forcing more manual work in inventory management. One report also says movement can slow dramatically alongside an unnaturally rapid heartbeat effect, while another flags audio glitches as a possible crash blocker.

Some broader system changes have also drawn attention. Community reports say Baglia’s story missions are now unlocked sequentially for testing, and that Hull-B loading now shows timers and fees based on box size, with larger boxes loading faster and at lower cost. The Hull-C also reportedly received a box-handling mechanic, though players say its mission support still looks limited.

As with most PTU builds, the update appears aimed at balancing new content with rapid bug fixing ahead of a live release. Players testing 4.10 continue to find both useful improvements and frustrating regressions as the patch evolves.
