Changelog

Version: 1.0.2
Date: 2026-09-11
  Changes:
    - A force's total production no longer depends on guessing its surface: production_since
      takes the surface as optional and, without one, counts every surface the force has made
      the item on, with a per-surface breakdown. Since tick 0 the count is exact, from the
      game's own lifetime counters.
    - The production tools say plainly which is a rate and which is a total, so "how much has
      team 2 made" is answered with a total and "how fast" with a rate.
    - Every lookup accepts a force's display name where it expects a force name, "Team 02" for
      team-2, resolved through the team mod's labels, so an agent that read a name in a tool
      result and passed it back still reaches the right force.
    - A comparison with a blank column name prints a letter in its place rather than nothing.

Version: 1.0.1
Date: 2026-09-11
  Changes:
    - Compare teams on their own clocks: on a Multi-Team Support server the agent now reads
      each team's online and elapsed hours from the team mod, and the game clock is named as
      the server's clock, so "how am I doing compared to Team Ace" compares fairly.
  Bugfixes:
    - Fractions (rates, progress, evolution, hours) reached the model as fifty-digit numbers,
      because the game's JSON writer prints a non-integer double at full precision. They now
      leave as short decimals, "1.79", and whole numbers stay numbers.

Version: 1.0.0
Date: 2026-09-11
  Features:
    - Ask the AI in chat: /ask a question, or a chat prefix of your choice, and the answer prints
      back in chat a few seconds later, pulled from the live save at that moment.
    - Follow-up questions share a session. /ask new starts over, /ask #name opens a named session
      others can join, /ask sessions lists what is open.
    - Any player may ask about any force. Team chat privacy and team names come from mods that
      have them (Multi-Team Support), so a team in team-only chat gets private answers.
    - Answers with item icons, clickable item and recipe tags when you ask about a thing itself,
      and map pings you can click for "where" questions, ghosts included.
    - Seventeen lookups on the live game: forces, players, surfaces, research and the queue,
      production rates and totals since a tick, logistic networks, entity counts, evolution,
      pollution, rockets, game time, where entities are, where a player is; plus history
      (deaths, joins, chat, research, rockets) from the event log.
    - Other mods add their own lookups by exposing one function; the mod never needs to know them.
    - Safety: the rpc command runs for RCON only, asking is rate limited per player and per
      server, refusals are private, every lookup is a bounded read.
    - The mod is the game side of an open protocol over RCON. The agent program on GitHub uses
      your own OpenRouter or Anthropic key and any model you pick; anyone can write another.
