Changelog

Full version history for RimSynapse - WorldNews. The mod page and Workshop description show only the latest release; every earlier version is recorded here.

Unreleased (0.8 - in development)

  • Newspaper broadsheet redesign: masthead, drop-cap lead story with illustration, side rail, an "In Brief" panel, footer, and a single linked page-scroll. Opened from the "Newspaper Published" letter's "Read newspaper" choice.
  • Export to HTML: a one-click, self-contained web page (images embedded) with a selectable, copyable saved path. On-demand only - nothing is written until you click.
  • Optional illustrations via pollinations.ai: off by default behind a first-run consent window; only the scene prompt is sent; pictures are cached on disk; publication holds until an image arrives, and a declined request runs that story text-only.
  • Advertisements: one quirky RimWorld house ad per issue, rotating weekly from a pool of twenty - half now ship a black-and-white brand mark.
  • Breaking-news telegraph: a comms-gated, movable/resizable/collapsible ticker previews events held by Core's deferred-news pipeline; without a comms console you learn of an event only when it releases and the paper reports it.
  • Fixes: never publish an empty issue (needs a headline and a story with body text); a paper no longer fires the instant a colony loads.

v0.7.0 - Regions and Territories Compatibility

  • Moves in step with RimSynapse Core v0.7.0.
  • Requires Core v0.7.0; saves and settings carry over unchanged.

v0.6.1

  • Fixed - mod list metadata: the in-game mod list still showed v0.5.2 with no v0.6.0 notes. Version and changelog now agree in every place they are stated.
  • Roadmap updated: 0.7 is now Regions and Territories compatibility - the groundwork the Factions work depends on. Everything after it shifts up one release.

v0.6.0

  • Requires RimSynapse Core v0.6.0. This release moves in step with Core's Agent and Tool Foundation update - your saves and settings carry over unchanged.
  • Documentation: in-game wiki guides updated; "MCP" renamed to game tools throughout, matching Core's native tool-calling engine.

v0.5.2

  • Maintenance release: no gameplay changes. Version aligned with the rest of the RimSynapse suite, which carries fixes in Core and Psychology.
  • Licence: now PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0. Free to use, modify and share for any noncommercial purpose.

v0.5.1

  • Playtest improvements: general stability enhancements and compatibility optimizations for playtesting.

v0.4.0

  • Updated to support RimSynapse Core v0.4.0 (Multi-provider routing and Image generation).
