⚠️ We are aware of an ongoing AltStore Classic error (-80045) when using Remote AltServer

While we work to address this, please use AltServer 1.8.1 on a Mac or PC to continue using AltStore.

However, if you're on macOS 27, an AltServer update is coming later to fix this issue.

- giving up on the “send astronauts to station” contracts because they’re boring
- building a basic car out of the default metal panels
- putting thrusters on a car for some reason
