Blueprint-style construction view, smoother camera controls, and configurable camera, building and Icarus construction-drone range. By Loki Moon Labs. AI-assisted development.

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.

  • Preserved Construct Mode camera focus and middle-mouse rotation.
  • Added smoother, more incremental mouse-wheel zoom while Blueprint View is enabled.
  • Extended the improved camera behavior into native Blueprint Copy/Paste while Blueprint View is enabled.
  • Added explicit cleanup for blueprint preview models and stale blueprint-grid selection boxes when returning to Construct Mode.
  • Added a clean DSP-styled session toggle near the build toolbar.
  • Blueprint View defaults to off on each game launch.
