Fixes: rift portraits & planet bonuses

Fixes

  • Void Rift contribution ring: a commander's slice could show another player's avatar instead of that commander's own portrait. Faces are now rebound correctly every time the ranking re-sorts, so every slice shows who it actually belongs to.
  • Planet production bonuses now actually work. A world with a production trait (Gas Giant, Ringed Giant, Fungal World and friends) now multiplies the output of the Forge built on it. Until now the bonus was shown in the planet panel but never applied — a rich world produced exactly like a barren rock, no matter how far you upgraded its Forge.

Balance

  • As a result, Forges on production worlds produce noticeably more (a Gas Giant multiplies its Forge output by 1.5). Home worlds stay trait-neutral, exactly as before.
  • Where you plant your Forge is a real decision again — the planet panel's numbers and the production you get are finally the same thing.
