Optimized Local Housing v0.1.0 (preview)

First preview of Optimized Local Housing, a Timberborn 1.1 mod (built against 1.1.2.4) that re-houses adult beavers once a day so the colony's total home-to-workplace travel is as short as possible, using an optimal assignment rather than incremental swapping.

Install

1. Close Timberborn and extract OptimizedLocalHousing-v0.1.0.zip into Documents/Timberborn/Mods.
2. Launch Timberborn, enable Optimized Local Housing, and restart.
3. Load a copy of your save. Each pass logs one [OptimizedLocalHousing] line to Player.log.

Multiplayer: every player must install this exact version.

What to expect

• Every home keeps the same number of adults; children and beavers in unusable homes never move; nobody crosses districts.
• Work is spread over ticks (at most 32 route queries per tick), and the whole pass state is saved, so reloads and multiplayer joins continue identically.
• On a replay of a real 266-beaver colony with straight-line distance standing in for route cost, average commute went 53.1 to 24.1 in one pass (true optimum 24.0), and a second pass changed nothing.

Status: preview

All 25 automated checks pass, including brute-force optimality, determinism between peers, save/reload at every tick of a pass, and the compiled adapter against the game's component blacklist. Native in-game behavior and live two-player join/rehost have not been tested yet, and real path-query cost has not been measured. Please try it on a copy of a save and report anything odd.

The first pass on a badly housed colony moves most adults at once (parents may end up away from their children); later passes move only a few. See the README for the full list of rules and limits.
