Memento - Natural Renewal

This release marks a major milestone for Memento.

The second core pillar of the mod — Natural Renewal — has now been fully stabilized. The system has been reworked to behave in a way that feels intuitive and predictable during normal gameplay.

What’s new

• Natural Renewal now “feels right”

  • Your bases and active areas are naturally preserved
  • Exploration no longer creates unintended protected zones
  • Transitions between protected and renewable areas are smooth and consistent

• Algorithmic work is complete

  • The renewal model is now deterministic and locally grounded
  • No more heuristic edge cases or surprising behavior

• Major performance improvements

  • Significantly faster processing on large worlds
  • Stable behavior even at scale

• Stronger foundation through testing

  • Development has shifted to test-driven design (TDD)
  • A comprehensive test suite now protects core behavior and invariants

What this means

• You can trust Natural Renewal to behave consistently
• Your builds are protected without manual setup
• The mod is now moving from feature development → hardening and user experience

Looking ahead

With the core algorithms now complete, future updates will focus on:

• stability and edge-case hardening
• improved operator and player experience
• preparing the mod for General Availability (GA)

This is a foundational release — thank you for being part of the journey.
