CHANGELOG
Changelog
2.0.0
- Add configurable camera, building-placement and Icarus construction-drone range, with a default and slider maximum of 500 game units.
- Extend native building, repair and reconstruction target checks without changing the build radius stored in saves.
- Set BuildCameraTravelDistance to 0 to restore native range checks. Retain larger researched ranges and independent overrides from other mods.
- Preserve UX Assist's unlimited placement option, battlefield analysis base ranges, Blueprint View, native controls, zoom and blueprint cleanup.
- Retain Loki Moon Labs artwork, AI disclosure and shared support links.
- Promote the 1.0.11 range implementation to 2.0.0 without changing its gameplay code. Passed 15,228 focused automated checks.
1.0.11 test build
- Set the camera-range slider maximum and new-install default to 500 game units. Legacy values above 500 are clamped when settings bind.
- Use the same setting for native placement and Icarus construction-drone building, repair and reconstruction range checks.
- Keep saved build radius, research, battlefield analysis base ranges, other mods' larger ranges and UX Assist's unlimited-placement behavior unchanged.
- Preserve the successful 1.0.10 camera behavior and the original Blueprint View implementation.
- Pass 15,228 automated checks, including instruction preservation across 19 native methods and nine actual UX Assist transpiler combinations. Drone/placement gameplay validation pending.
1.0.10 test build
- Add configurable God Mode build-camera travel distance, defaulting to 1,000 game units from Icarus.
- Set Camera / BuildCameraTravelDistance to 0 to restore the normal research-based camera limit. Values below the native limit do not reduce it.
- Preserve construction-drone reach, saved build radius, Blueprint View, camera rotation, zoom, and blueprint cleanup.
- Pass 508 focused checks, including native camera instruction preservation, configuration persistence, and unchanged existing behavior bodies. In-game validation pending.
1.0.9
- Add links to the shared Loki Moon Labs DSP mod issue tracker and bug-report form.
- Set the package website to the support repository.
- Documentation-only release; mod binaries and supporting gameplay files are unchanged from 1.0.8.
1.0.8
- Add an AI Development Disclosure to the package description.
- Documentation-only release; all mod binaries and supporting gameplay files are unchanged from 1.0.7.
