Supports persistent settings, enemy avoidance, and advanced task assignment. Authored by Tumeden, version v1.25, 2025.","Fixed a bug in logCommandIDs() where enabling logging (Alt+L) could cause an error if any CMD.* constant was nil. Now all command IDs are stringified before logging, preventing Spring.Echo errors on nil values.","Fixed a critical bug where enabling logging (Alt+L) could cause a crash if logCommandIDs() was called before scvlog was defined. The scvlog function is now defined above logCommandIDs, ensuring it is always available when needed.","Improved stuck detection: Units must now make significant progress (>5 units) toward their target to reset the stuck counter. If a unit oscillates within 1 unit of its last distance for 3+ checks, or fails to make progress for 3 seconds, the target is marked as unreachable. This prevents units from endlessly circling unreachable features (e.g., on cliffs) and ensures proper reassignment.","As of v1.39, RezBots can opportunistically reclaim live enemy non-combatant buildings (e.g., walls, resource structures) if they are within 1/10th of reclaim range, provided the engine allows reclaiming live enemy units (canReclaimEnemy=true).

This prevents automated commands (flee, reclaim, resurrect) from marking units as manually commanded, which was causing the enemy avoidance system to fail.","Completely redesigned to use command tracking instead of cmdTag. Now tracks script-issued commands via giveScriptOrder() wrapper function and only treats untracked commands as manual player commands.

For every 5 idle workers, both values increase by +1 from their base of 4. Values automatically scale down when workers get assigned tasks and are no longer idle.","Dynamic scaling functions are located after the UI code section for clean organization. System updates every 60 frames (2 seconds) and also immediately when units change task status between idle and working.","Scaling formula: maxUnitsPerFeature = 4 + floor(idleWorkers/5), maxHealersPerUnit = 4 + floor(idleWorkers/5). This reduces idle worker count by allowing more units to work on the same targets when many workers are idle.","As of v1.28 (2025-06-16), the dangerous zones system successfully prevents ping-ponging to enemy-defended areas but may be too aggressive. The logs show extensive 'Skipping feature X - in dangerous zone' messages, indicating the system works but zones may be too large (400 radius) or too persistent (60 seconds). Units can end up with no valid targets when large areas are marked dangerous, creating a different ping-pong pattern where they go idle and immediately retry, cycling through the same blocked targets every frame.","As of v1.28 (2025-06-16), implemented comprehensive dangerous zone system improvements: 1) Reduced zone radius from 400 to 300 units and expiration time from 60 to 30 seconds for less aggressive blocking. 2) Added smart zone cleanup that checks if enemies are still present after 15 seconds and removes zones with no combat threats. 3) Added idle throttling system with 5-second delay (IDLE_RETRY_DELAY=150 frames) to prevent units from constantly retrying when all targets are dangerous/unavailable. 4) Uses proper Lua control flow with shouldProcessUnit flag instead of goto statements for compatibility. 5) Throttling is cleared when units successfully complete work, ensuring responsive behavior when conditions improve.","As of v1.28 (2025-06-16), implemented smart target prioritization system to prevent ping-ponging: 1) Reduced dangerous zone radius from 300 to 200 units for less aggressive blocking. 2) Added safe/dangerous feature separation in findReclaimableFeature - units prioritize safe targets first and only use dangerous targets as fallback when no safe alternatives exist. 3) Maintained full healing functionality - units can still heal in dangerous zones when needed. 4) The system prevents units from being drawn into danger for resources in the first place, rather than trying to fix problems after units are already damaged. This addresses the core issue of units getting hurt by seeking resources in contested areas.","As of v1.28 (2025-06-16), made dangerous zone system much more aggressive to prevent units from getting killed: 1) Increased dangerous zone base radius from 200 to 500 units. 2) Increased enemy avoidance radius from 675 to 900 units. 3) Increased dangerous zone persistence from 30 to 60 seconds. 4) Increased max zone radius cap from 2x to 3x base radius (up to 1500 units for long-range weapons). 5) Added dangerous zone avoidance to idle regroup logic - units won't try to regroup to combat units in dangerous zones. These changes create much larger no-go zones around enemy positions, especially around long-range weapons like laser towers, preventing units from getting close enough to be killed."]}

Updated BarteringPP (novice haggler → legendary merchant), MarathonPP (basic endurance → legendary runner), AttackSpeedPP (muscle memory → legendary weapon speed), AttackDamagePP (basic technique → legendary warrior), SpeedPP (efficient stride → legendary swiftness), PlatinumGutPP (basic adaptation → legendary efficiency), WeatherTolerantPP (basic adaptation → legendary climate mastery), MeleeWeaponsDurabilityPP (basic maintenance → legendary weaponsmith), RangedWeaponsDurabilityPP (cleaning techniques → legendary gunsmith), EfficientHealingPP (first aid → legendary healer), FireRatePP (trigger discipline → legendary gunslinger), RangedWeaponsHandlingPP (basic marksmanship → legendary weapon mastery), and KnowledgablePP (useful shortcuts → legendary inventor). Each level now tells a story of progression from novice to legendary mastery.","On 2025-01-15, successfully cleaned the Localization.txt file by removing all entries for the three perks that were previously removed from progression.xml: ExpFiendPP, KnowledgablePP, and InstantDeathPP. This included removing all Name, Desc, level descriptions (1-5), and long descriptions for each removed perk. The localization file now contains only entries that correspond to the 42 perks that actually exist in progression.xml, eliminating potential errors from missing perk references.","On 2025-01-15, successfully merged MeleeWeaponsDurabilityPP and RangedWeaponsDurabilityPP into a single weapon durability perk. The merged perk now costs 10 skill points (increased from 3) and affects both melee and ranged weapons with the same -20% to -90% degradation reduction across 5 levels. RangedWeaponsDurabilityPP was completely removed. The perk retains the MeleeWeaponsDurabilityPP internal name but should be renamed in localization to reflect its broader scope.","On 2025-01-15, successfully merged FallDamagePP perk into NinjaPP perk. The FallDamagePP perk was completely removed and its parkour/fall damage functionality was integrated into the Ninja perk. The merged NinjaPP perk now provides both stealth benefits (noise reduction and visibility in darkness) and fall damage resistance (2-10m safe fall distance across 5 levels). The perk was renamed from 'Ninja' to 'Shadow Walker' to better reflect its combined functionality. All references in buffs.xml were updated from FallDamagePP to NinjaPP to maintain the fall damage mechanics.","On 2025-01-15, successfully merged SpeedPP perk into AttackSpeedPP perk. The SpeedPP perk was completely removed and its movement speed functionality was integrated into the Haste (AttackSpeedPP) perk, but significantly reduced from 50% to only 10% maximum movement speed. The merged AttackSpeedPP perk now provides both attack speed (10-50% across 5 levels) and movement speed (2-10% across 5 levels). The perk was renamed from 'Haste' to 'Combat Reflexes' to better reflect its combined functionality. All SpeedPP localization entries were removed and AttackSpeedPP descriptions were updated to show both effects.","On 2025-01-15, changed HealthMaxPP (Max HP) perk attribute requirement from attStrength to attFortitude to better align with the thematic connection between health/vitality and endurance/constitution rather than raw physical strength. Updated both the progression_name and desc_key accordingly.","On 2025-01-15, changed StaminaMaxPP (Max Stamina) perk attribute requirement from attStrength to attAgility to better align with the thematic connection between stamina/endurance and agility/speed rather than raw physical strength. The perk already used the agility icon, making this change more consistent with its visual representation.","On 2025-01-15, changed LockpickingLawyerPP (Master Lockpicker) perk attribute requirement from attFortitude to attIntellect to better align with the technical and skill-based nature of lockpicking, which requires knowledge, precision, and understanding of mechanical systems rather than physical endurance.","On 2025-01-15, fixed missing attribute requirement localization keys in Localization.txt. Added AttPointsFortitudeDescKey and AttPointsPerceptionDescKey with proper 'Main [Attribute] Lvl 10 Required' text format. Removed incorrect duplicate StrengthPPName entries that were showing wrong requirement text. Now all attribute requirements (Strength, Agility, Fortitude, Perception, Intellect) have proper localization support.","On 2025-01-15, implemented progressive attribute requirements for perks: Level 1 requires attribute level 3, Level 2 requires attribute level 5, and Levels 3-5 require attribute level 10. This system provides early access to perk benefits while still requiring full investment for maximum power. Applied to HealthMaxPP (Fortitude) and StaminaMaxPP (Agility) as examples.","On 2025-01-15, completed comprehensive implementation of progressive attribute requirements across ALL perks in the Perks Plus Serverside Only mod. Every perk now uses the 3/5/10 requirement system: Level 1 requires attribute level 3 (early access), Level 2 requires attribute level 5 (moderate investment), and Levels 3-5 require attribute level 10 (full investment). This creates better pacing and accessibility while maintaining balanced progression. Updated 20+ perks across all attributes (Strength, Agility, Fortitude, Perception, Intellect).","On 2025-01-15, fixed critical attribute requirement bug where all custom perks used operation='Equals' instead of operation='GTE' for level requirements. This caused perks to completely disappear when players had intermediate attribute levels (e.g., having 4 Agility would disable StaminaMaxPP because it needed exactly 3 for level 1 but exactly 5 for level 2). Changed all 137+ instances of operation='Equals' to operation='GTE' in progression.xml so that once players reach the required attribute level, they maintain access to that perk level and all lower levels. This fixes the user's reported issue where stamina perk would zero out at 4 attribute points.","Updated localization to reflect the new progressive attribute requirements. Changed all attribute requirement descriptions from 'Lvl 10 Required' to 'Lvl 3/5/10 Required' to correctly indicate that Level 1 perks require 3+ points, Level 2 requires 5+ points, and Levels 3-5 require 10+ points in the respective attribute. This matches the GTE operation changes made to progression.xml and provides clearer information to players about perk requirements.","Implemented level-specific localization keys for attribute requirements instead of generic text. Created 15 new desc_key entries: AttPointsStrength3DescKey, AttPointsStrength5DescKey, AttPointsStrength10DescKey (and equivalent for Agility, Fortitude, Perception, Intellect). Each perk level now displays specific requirements like 'Requires 3 Strength' for Level 1, 'Requires 5 Strength' for Level 2, and 'Requires 10 Strength' for Levels 3-5. Updated all perk level requirements in progression.xml to use these specific desc_key references instead of the old generic ones. This provides much cleaner and more precise requirement information to players.","Demonstrated progressive attribute requirements system using StaminaMaxPP as example. Changed from 3/5/10 system to 5/6/7/8/9 progressive system where each perk level requires exactly one more attribute point than the previous level. Added corresponding localization keys (AttPointsAgility6DescKey through AttPointsAgility9DescKey) to support the new requirement levels. This system allows for more granular progression and smoother attribute investment curves. The same pattern can be applied to any perk with any progression sequence desired (e.g., 4/6/8/10/12, or 3/4/5/6/7, etc.).","Demonstrated progressive skill point cost system using StaminaMaxPP as example. Added individual <level> tags with skill_point_cost attributes to create progressive costs: Level 1=5 points, Level 2=6 points, Level 3=7 points, Level 4=8 points, Level 5=9 points. This system allows each perk level to cost a different amount of skill points while keeping the attribute requirements unchanged (3/5/10 system). The base_skill_point_cost becomes the cost for level 1, and individual level tags override the cost for subsequent levels. This creates more granular skill point investment and can make higher levels more expensive or follow any desired cost progression pattern."]}
