Fairer, Pool-Based Server Renewals
- Free server renewal now scales with your resource pool — a starter server still renews for 500 coins, and the cost only grows if you choose to upgrade your RAM, CPU, or disk
- Your total renewal is now split across your active servers — run two and each renews for a share of the total instead of paying full price twice
- The store now shows exactly how a resource upgrade will change your weekly renewal (total and per-server) before you confirm
- Recreating a server you let lapse now costs its share of the renewal rather than a flat fee — so there is no advantage to cycling servers and no harsh penalty for a genuine mistake

Console Polish & Live Server State
- Live server state badge in the console — shows RUNNING, STARTING, STOPPING, or OFFLINE in real time with matching colors
- "Jump to latest" pill appears in the corner when you scroll up through old log lines, smoothly scrolls back to the latest output
- Installing or reinstalling a server now streams the install script live in the console with a clear banner; tabs and power actions lock until it finishes, then unlock automatically
