Release 25.1.2.1

Major features

Added recent server listings (will display a list of recently joined servers).
Added password-less log-in (will now use a UID system).
Added way to select mod version to use while in-game (located at the mod settings window).
Added option to sync game storyteller for everyone.
Added option to sync game scenario for everyone.
Added button to mass change mods enforcements in its menu.
Changed server folder structure (cleaner and easier to navigate).

Minor fixes and additions:

Changed how verbosity works for the client.
Changed default chat key from P to Backslash to remove warnings.
Removed native support for RimWorld v1.4.
Removed vanilla quests for other players (won't receive quests towards them).

Important notes for server owners:

▶️ Server commands now use the UIDs instead of the usernames for targeting. This UID can be found using the list/deeplist commands.

▶️ Since the mod is being transformed to be able to get hosted for non-dedicated servers as well, and due to the many changes in user management such as UID implementation, this version is not directly compatible with the last one. Factions and sites will break, and the player saves will need to be renamed to their new UID values.

▶️ Since the server has no clue on what the new user's UID might be, we are unable to create a patch for them to be fixed automatically. Now that version control is available for both players and server owners, we trust that you will only update to releases like this when you feel it's correct for the playerbase of your servers.

Release 24.11.5.1

• For players: update your mod to latest release on Steam (or verify the game files).
• For server owners: make sure to download the new server files here.
• For people who don't want to update yet: follow this guide to downgrade your mod version.

Minor fixes and additions:

• Fixed the "update" command to now be able to fix any old sites that still had workers inside.
• Fixed "SiteValues.json" causing issues when building sites, it will be purged when using the "update" command.

Important notes for server owners:

• The process to update the sites is still the same, run the "update" command to patch the old sites into the new system. Since the new update has already been rolling for a couple days, please make sure you are only updating old version's sites, since the new ones will error out if trying to patch.

Added scribe syncing. All object details that are normally able to be extracted from the game are now synced:

• Includes a vast amount of pawn details (names, traits, weapons, stories, apparels, genes, royalty, etc).
• Includes a vast amount of thing details (material, quality, quantity, art description, color, rotting, etc).
• Includes a vast amount of map details (size, tiles, things, pawns, dangers, natural generations, etc).
• Excludes specific non-shared things across games (ideoligions, art styles, not-owned mod specific data, not-owned DLC specific data, etc).

Added a new site system. Here's the gist of it:

• Faction sites are now gone.
• Personal sites no longer need a pawn to work on them.
• Sites can now create rewards that are selected by the player.
• Sites will now work for every member inside the same faction.

Minor fixes and additions:

Added the ability for mod patching into RimWorld Together:

• The mod now has an official entry point for modders to be able to patch their mods and enable online sync with us.
• We released a template with all the needed documentation that can be found at here.
• The template / implementation is brand new, so there's a chance things are missing that might be useful for modders, please contact us if that's the case.

• Players will now be able to share inflict pollution in the world map to each other.
• Vanilla mechanics that do create pollution in the world map are now synced.
• It can be toggle via the server settings.

Added new features to the online chat:

• MoTDs (Messages of The Day) can now be set by the server owner.
• Connections and disconnections from players can now be sent through the chat.
• This features can be toggled and configured in the server settings.

Removed the current marketplace implementation:

• It has been removed since it currently doesn't work with the way we handle the items now.
• It will be re-enabled after we complete it's rework, sometime in the future.

Important notes for server owners:

• Due to the new site implementation, the "update" command has been enabled into the server for this version, it's a tool that should be able to port your old sites into the new system. If your current SiteValues.json file is giving issues at startup, delete it and turn the server back on. Please let us know if it isn't working as expected.
• This new update changes a bit how maps are handled, as a result, feel free to delete the "Maps" folder in the server, no data is lost upon doing it and the new structure doesn't match the old one anyways.

This can be easily done by just using the admin menu while in-game. Also, feel free to delete your server's mods folder since that won't be required anymore.
