Changelog

1.0.103

• FIX: Increased KCP timeout from 10 to 30 seconds
• Save data transfer was causing disconnects due to main thread blocking during processing
• Client and server both updated to 30 second timeout for reliable save loading

1.0.102

• FIX: Fixed tick adjustment condition that never triggered
• Previous check actionTick < minValidTick failed when minValidTick returned 0 (reflection issue)
• New check actionTick < currentTick - if action is in the past, adjust to current tick
• Added debug logging for tick adjustments

1.0.101

• FIX: Added tick fix for CraftResponse RPC (crafting wasn't working)
• CraftResponse has signature (NetworkConnection target, CraftInfo info) - info is SECOND argument
• Added UserCode_Response_Prefix to handle Response methods with different signatures
• Crafting should now work properly

1.0.100

• PROPER FIX: Fixed tick synchronization at the source instead of bypassing validation
• ROOT CAUSE: ProcessCurrentSimTick_Prefix wasn't setting ALL required tick fields
• Now properly sets _targetTick, _lastSyncTick, _timeToProcess, and curTick on ALL machineManagers
• TickFixPatches now uses cached reflection for better performance
• Ticks are adjusted to valid range instead of bypassing validation entirely
• Actions should now process through normal game code path (proper deterministic simulation)

1.0.99

• Intermediate test build

1.0.98

• COMPLETE BYPASS: Now completely bypasses tick validation for dedicated server clients
• Found root cause: Original code checks _targetTick <= tick which fails because we set ticks directly
• Actions were being enqueued but never processed because tick validation kept rejecting them
• New approach: Dequeue actions directly and call ProcessOnClient immediately
• No more "Can't rewind" errors - actions are processed without any tick checks

1.0.97

• FIX: HandleEnqueuingClientActions patch was blocking original method execution
• Changed from bool prefix (skip original) to void prefix (fix ticks then run original)
• This allows the game's normal action processing to occur after tick fix
• Actions were being received but not processed - now they should process normally

1.0.96

• COMPLETE REWRITE: New TickFixPatches.cs to fix tick validation at the source
• ROOT CAUSE: Found the actual tick validation in FactorySimManager.HandleEnqueuingClientActions()
• The "Can't rewind" error happens because actions from server have old ticks
• Previous patches on RPC methods weren't triggering because Mirror invokes differently
• FIX: Directly patch FactorySimManager.HandleEnqueuingClientActions to fix ticks BEFORE validation
• Actions with old ticks are now updated to valid ticks instead of being discarded
• Also patches UserCode_* methods to fix ticks as they're received

1.0.95

• DEBUG: Added verbose logging to incoming RPC tick fix to diagnose why patches aren't triggering
• Changed from object[] __args to object __0 for Harmony parameter injection
• Logs every step of the tick fix process to identify where it's failing

1.0.94

• CRITICAL FIX: Fixed tick mismatch on INCOMING action broadcasts from server
• Client now fixes tick on incoming RPCs (HitDestructable, ActivateMachine, etc.) to match client's current tick
• This prevents "Can't rewind" errors when server tick is behind client tick due to network latency
• Patches all major incoming action RPC methods with FixIncomingActionTick_Prefix

1.0.93

• CRITICAL FIX: Fixed tick mismatch "Can't rewind" error that caused all actions to be discarded
• FIX: The tick field is on the INFO object (e.g., HitDestructibleInfo), not the action itself
• FixActionTick now correctly sets tick on action.info.tick instead of action.tick
• FIX: Player lookup now uses multiple methods (Player.instance, NetworkClient.localPlayer, FindObjectOfType)
• This fixes "Player.instance is null" errors in multiplayer when calculating rewards

1.0.92

• FIX: Empty server responses no longer trigger "inventory full" error sound
• NEW: Client now calculates rewards locally when server sends empty response
• Patches UserCode_HitDestructableResponse to handle headless server empty responses
• Patches UserCode_HitVoxelResponse, UserCode_MOLEResponse, UserCode_TakeAllResponse
• Client extracts item rewards from propLookups and adds them to inventory with popups
• Server-side now sends response to original sender after broadcasting actions

1.0.91

• Version bump for testing action flow

1.0.87

• ROOT CAUSE FOUND: Decompiled game code to find the actual bug
• SendNetworkAction calls Player.instance.networkedPlayer.AddPendingAction(action) BEFORE the switch statement
• On dedicated server clients, Player.instance is null - causing NullReferenceException before commands are sent
• FIX: Complete replacement of SendNetworkAction - prefix returns false to skip original method
• Directly calls the appropriate Command method (TakeAllCommand, HitDestructableCommand, MOLECommand, etc.)
• Full mapping of all 50+ action types to their Command methods based on decompiled game code
• All Commands have [Command(requiresAuthority = false)] so they work without authority

1.0.86

• FIX: Force call CmdSendNetworkAction from postfix patch
• The original SendNetworkAction method was completing without calling the actual Mirror Command
• Now the postfix directly invokes CmdSendNetworkAction via reflection to send actions to the server
• Added detailed logging to show all Command methods on NetworkMessageRelay for debugging
• This should fix mining, crafting, building, picking up items, MOLE drilling

1.0.72

• FIX: Fixed "Ambiguous match found" error in HitDestructibleInfo - now uses actual resource type for method lookup
• FIX: MOLE ore mining now works - prefix sets canMineOre=true so client can determine ore locally
• FIX: Improved type lookups - now tries CraftActionInfo, SimpleBuildActionInfo, ExchangeMachineActionInfo first
• FIX: Removed broken fallback code that could throw AmbiguousMatchException
• Plants and destructibles should now properly drop items to inventory
• MOLE should now properly mine ore and add to inventory

1.0.63

• NEW: Added ExchangeMachineInfo handler for single item clicks in storage
• When clicking individual items in storage, items now properly transfer to player inventory
• Fixed items disappearing when clicking stacks in storage containers

1.0.62

• FIX: ResourceStack.info is a PROPERTY, not a field - use GetProperty() instead of GetField()
• This fixes items showing info=False and not being added to inventory
• Items taken from machines should now properly appear in player inventory

1.0.61

• FIX: Use NetworkClient.localPlayer to get Player in multiplayer (Player.instance is null)
• Try multiple methods: Player.instance, NetworkClient.localPlayer, FindObjectOfType

1.0.60

• DEBUG: Detailed logging for Player.instance, inventory, and AddResources calls

1.0.59

• DEBUG: More detailed logging in TakeAll and HitDestructible to trace item retrieval

1.0.58

• DEBUG: Added logging to TakeAllInfo and HitDestructibleInfo prefixes to diagnose inventory sync

1.0.57

• NEW: Client-side inventory synchronization for headless server compatibility
• Patches TakeAllInfo.ProcessOnClient to add items to local inventory when taking from machines
• Patches HitDestructibleInfo.ProcessOnClient to add drops to inventory when destroying props
• Stub patches for MOLEActionInfo, CraftCommand, SimpleBuildInfo (future implementation)
• Uses "trust the client" model since headless server can't calculate inventory changes

1.0.56

• FIX: Use correct netId=2 for server relay (not 1)
• Server's spawned dictionary: [1]=Player Cheats, [2]=MachineMessageRelay
• Client now correctly routes commands to netId=2 where the relay actually is
• This should finally fix pickup, mining, building, crafting

1.0.55

• FIX: Force client's relay netId to 1 to match server
• Client scene relay has netId=2, server relay has netId=1 - commands weren't routing
• Now fixes netId before sending ANY network action
• Added debug logging to confirm SendNetworkAction is triggered
• This should finally fix pickup, mining, building, crafting

1.0.54

• Version bump to force fresh download (v1.0.53 was getting cached)
• Same fix as v1.0.53: Add prefix to SendNetworkAction to fix connectionToServer

1.0.53

• FIX: Add prefix to SendNetworkAction to fix connectionToServer before commands
• connectionToServer was null on client's NetworkIdentity, preventing all game commands
• Now sets connectionToServer via reflection before any network action is sent
• This should fix pickup, mining, building, and crafting

1.0.52

• CRITICAL FIX: Set NetworkBehaviours array and ComponentIndex on NetworkIdentity
• Mirror requires NetworkIdentity.NetworkBehaviours array to be populated for RPC routing
• This is normally done in Awake() by InitializeNetworkBehaviours(), but runtime components miss this
• Now explicitly sets NetworkBehaviours = [relay] and ComponentIndex = 0 on the relay
• This fixes "Component [0] not found for [netId=1]" warning
• Combined with v1.0.51's netIdentity backing field fix, Mirror should now route all RPCs correctly
• This should enable game interactions (pickup, mine, build, craft, inventory sync)

1.0.51

• CRITICAL FIX: Manually set netIdentity backing field on NetworkBehaviour
• When adding NetworkBehaviour components at runtime, Mirror's caching doesn't work
• Now explicitly sets <netIdentity>k__BackingField on the NetworkMessageRelay
• This fixes "Object reference not set" errors in SendTargetRPCInternal
• Server and client both now properly link NetworkIdentity to NetworkBehaviour
• This should finally fix game interactions (pickup, mine, build, craft)

1.0.50

• FIX: Server now proactively pushes tick to new clients on connect
• This bypasses the broken client->server RequestCurrentSimTick command flow
• Added detailed debug logging for NetworkIdentity state in RequestCurrentSimTick
• Server's HeadlessPatches now calls ProactivelySendTickToClient when player joins
• These fixes should enable game interactions (pickup, mine, build, craft)

1.0.49

• FIX: connectionToServer is a PROPERTY not a field - use GetSetMethod(true) for internal setter
• This should finally allow commands to be sent to the server

1.0.48

• FIX: Set connectionToServer on custom NetworkIdentity for Command routing
• Without this, SendCommandInternal fails with null reference
• FIX: Patch UserCode_ProcessCurrentSimTick to handle null FactorySimManager
• Server's tick response now handled gracefully even if game systems aren't initialized
• Also sets MachineManager.curTick when tick sync is received
• These fixes should enable game interactions (pickup, mine, build, craft)

1.0.47

• FIX: Create NetworkMessageRelay with NetworkIdentity if none exists in scene
• When spawn message arrives before scene loads, now creates a proper relay
• Links created relay to server's netId (1) for Command routing
• Sets hasAuthority = true for client-owned commands
• This should fix interaction (pickup, mine, craft, chest access)

1.0.46

• FIX: Added NetworkRelayLinkingPatches to fix Command routing
• Intercepts spawn messages for server's NetworkMessageRelay (netId 1)
• Links client's scene relay to server's netId so Commands route properly
• Skips original OnSpawn to prevent "no AssetId" error
• Server now spawns NetworkMessageRelay to clients

1.0.45

• FIX: KCP transport DualMode mismatch
• Client now uses DualMode = false (IPv4 only) to match server
• Fixes "Client KcpTransport DualMode mismatch" connection errors

1.0.44

• STATUS: WORKING! Successfully connecting to dedicated servers!
• Updated README with correct usage instructions
• Main menu "Join Multiplayer" button now works
• F11 hotkey works from anywhere
• Connects from main menu without loading a save first

1.0.43

• FIX: Don't disable LoadingUI gameObject (broke save loading)
• Now only hides visually with alpha=0 but keeps gameObject active
• Creates dummy NetworkMessageRelay instance to prevent NRE in FlowManager
• This should allow the loading process to complete naturally

1.0.42

• FIX: Force-hide loading screen by disabling the gameObject entirely
• Sets CanvasGroup alpha to 0 (invisible)
• Sets blocksRaycasts to false (clicks pass through)
• Disables LoadingUI gameObject completely
• This bypasses the "press any key" input requirement

1.0.41

• FIX: Bypass "Click to continue" entirely after forcing loading completion
• Sets confirmedLoad = true to skip the click requirement
• Sets _loaded = true to mark loading as complete
• Ensures CanvasGroup is interactable (in case that was blocking clicks)
• Should now go directly to game after 3 seconds without needing to click

1.0.40

• FIX: Restore Time.timeScale to 1 after forcing loading completion
• Game sets timeScale=0 during loading, which also freezes input
• Now properly restores timeScale so "Click to continue" works!

1.0.39

• FIX: Use Time.unscaledDeltaTime instead of Time.deltaTime
• Game sets timeScale=0 during loading, making deltaTime=0
• unscaledDeltaTime ignores timeScale and works during loading!
• Timer should now properly increment and trigger OnFinishLoading after 3 seconds

1.0.38

• DEBUG: Added timer increment debug logging
• Shows before/after values and deltaTime to confirm increment is happening
• This will tell us if Time.deltaTime is 0 or if timer is being reset

1.0.37

• FIX: Moved timer increment outside else block
• Timer now increments every frame when isActive=true (not just when monitorActive=true)
• Added deltaTime to progress log for debugging
• This should fix the timer not incrementing issue

1.0.36

• DEBUG: Changed isActive detection to use _loaded field
• Now checks: gameObject active AND _loaded==false (still loading)
• Added logging every 60 frames showing goActive, _loaded, isActive, timer
• This will show why the timer keeps resetting

1.0.35

• DEBUG: Added HEARTBEAT log every 5 seconds in Update()
• Shows frame count, monitor state, timer, and finishCalled status
• This will confirm if Update() is still running after the NRE

1.0.34

• DEBUG: Added logging at every exit point in CheckLoadingMonitor
• Logs when NetworkClient becomes inactive
• Logs when LoadingUI instance becomes null
• Logs when loading screen becomes inactive
• Always logs exceptions (not suppressed)

1.0.33

• DEBUG: Improved logging frequency (every second instead of every 2)
• Added logging when loading screen becomes INACTIVE (to understand why monitor stops)
• Reduced timeout to 3 seconds (was 5)
• Fixed second-tracking logic for progress logs

1.0.32

• DEBUG: Added comprehensive logging to loading monitor
• Tries multiple ways to find LoadingUI instance (field, property, FindObjectOfType)
• Lists all available fields/methods when reflection fails
• Logs loading progress every 2 seconds
• Starts monitoring immediately when loading screen is active (not waiting for specific state)

1.0.31

• FIX: Fixed AccessTools.Property -> AccessTools.Field for LoadingUI.instance
• LoadingUI.instance is a field, not a property - was causing reflection to fail
• Both TryCallOnFinishLoading() and CheckLoadingMonitor() now use correct reflection
• Updated version in PluginInfo to match package version

1.0.30

• FIX: Added loading monitor that detects stuck loading screen
• Automatically calls LoadingUI.OnFinishLoading() after 5 seconds if stuck on "Generating Machines"
• Properly handles NullReferenceException in NetworkMessageRelay.instance (dedicated server mode)
• Monitor runs in Update() to catch the issue regardless of where the NRE occurs

1.0.29

• Added RequestCurrentSimTick_Prefix to handle null NetworkMessageRelay.instance
• Added RequestCurrentSimTick_Finalizer to catch exceptions and complete loading
• Calls LoadingUI.OnFinishLoading() directly when server doesn't have NetworkMessageRelay

1.0.26

• CRITICAL FIX: Removed NetworkedPlayer patches that were breaking save sync!
• Client was skipping OnStartLocalPlayer which prevented RequestInitialSaveData() from being called
• Server was never receiving the client's request for world data (causing "Timing out for strata")
• Now properly receives save/world data from server

1.0.25

• CRITICAL FIX: Set NetworkManager.networkAddress BEFORE calling JoinGameAsClient
• The game was trying to connect but didn't know where (caused timeout)
• Removed redundant ConnectAfterSceneLoad coroutine - game handles connection internally

1.0.24

• Patched FizzyFacepunch (Steam transport) to prevent NullReferenceException spam
• Disabled FizzyFacepunch.ClientEarlyUpdate/ClientLateUpdate/ServerEarlyUpdate/ServerLateUpdate
• Enables KCP transport before calling JoinGameAsClient to prevent Steam transport errors
• Now works without Steam networking active!

1.0.23

• Fixed FlowManager.JoinGameAsClient call - now calls it directly instead of via reflection
• Properly loads game scenes when connecting from main menu
• Removed unnecessary instance check that was causing "FlowManager.instance is null" error

1.0.22

• NEW: "Join Multiplayer" button in main menu! Uses the game's hidden button (no more F11 required)
• Patched MainMenuUI.RefreshHiddenButtonState to show the multiplayer button
• Patched MainMenuUI.JoinMultiplayerAsClient to show our connection dialog
• Added Assembly-CSharp reference for direct game type access
• F11 hotkey still works as a fallback

1.0.21

• Added join-from-main-menu support using FlowManager.JoinGameAsClient
• Pressing F11 and Connect from main menu now automatically loads game scenes
• Added DoConnect helper to reduce code duplication
• Added ConnectAfterSceneLoad and WaitForGameWorldAndConnect coroutines
• No longer requires loading a save first - connects like joining a friend!

1.0.20

• Added patch for NetworkMessageRelay.SendNetworkAction
• Suppresses NullReferenceException when quest system tries to send network actions
• Fixes error spam when playing in single player before connecting

1.0.19

• Fixed crash when connecting from main menu
• Simplified scene detection - just warns user instead of trying auto-load
• Clear message: "Load a game first, then press F11"

1.0.18

• Added scene detection - checks if you're in game world before connecting
• Logs all loaded scenes for debugging

1.0.17

• Added patches for NetworkedPlayer.OnStartClient() and OnStartLocalPlayer()
• These methods crash when connecting because the player spawns before scene objects exist
• Now patches 5 methods total to prevent NullReferenceException spam

1.0.16

• Added null safety patches to prevent error spam when connecting
• Patches NetworkedPlayer.Update() to skip (prevents NullReferenceException)
• Patches ThirdPersonDisplayAnimator.Update() to skip (prevents NullReferenceException)
• Patches ThirdPersonDisplayAnimator.UpdateSillyStuff() to skip (prevents NullReferenceException)
• These errors occurred because the game creates player objects before they're fully initialized

1.0.15

• Added NetworkClient.Ready() call after connection
• Added NetworkClient.AddPlayer() to request player spawning
• Increased connection timeout to 15 seconds
• Added detailed logging for connection/ready/spawn sequence

1.0.14

• Fixed double-toggle bug (OnGUI is called multiple times per frame)
• Added frame guard to ensure UI only toggles once per key press
• Event.current now properly detected and working!
