Memento - Natural Renewal

This update introduces optional ambient renewal, allowing Memento to gradually refresh unused terrain over time — while still keeping inhabited areas safe.

Nothing happens automatically until you decide to enable it.

Ambient Renewal (Optional)

Memento can now perform small renewal steps automatically during the nightly maintenance cycle.

Before this can happen, the operator must explicitly enable it:

/memento accept

This simply confirms that you understand Memento may make small changes to abandoned terrain in your world.

Until you run this command, the mod behaves exactly as before.

How nightly renewal works

Once enabled, Memento will occasionally perform a very small renewal step during the night:

• If the world has not yet been analyzed, Memento will start a scan • Once scanning is complete, it may renew one eligible region • Active or inhabited areas remain protected

Renewal remains slow, conservative, and explainable.

If you want faster progress, you can still use the manual commands.

World analysis improvements

Memento now rebuilds its understanding of the world directly from the world files, ensuring that its decisions always match the actual terrain.

This makes the system more robust and avoids potential inconsistencies.

---

Reminder

You can always inspect what Memento plans to do before anything happens:

/memento explain renew

This command shows where renewal could occur and why.
