Here is the released version of this mod.

Snapshot Build

• Version: 3.5-snapshot for RimWorld 1.6.
• Required dependency: Harmony must load before Dynamic Map Size (Snapshot).
• Warning: Do not enable this snapshot together with the stable/original release.

Dynamic Map Size (Snapshot)

Control map dimensions, generation profiles, playable borders, performance guidance, diagnostics, and in-game reroll tools from one settings panel.

Main Features

• Custom sizes: Create maps from 10x10 to 1000x1000.
• Asymmetric maps: Set width and height independently.
• Presets: Use Vanilla, Large, Wide, Tall, Mega, or three custom preset slots.
• Override modes: Choose one-time override, Always Override, or the Settle Popup flow.
• Map profiles: Configure settlements, quests, encounters, temporary maps, and detected Odyssey orbit/space maps separately.
• Live preview: Review map shape, cell count, vanilla-area multiplier, and Safe/Heavy/Extreme impact.
• Shortcut: Open settings with Right Shift by default.

Recommendations and Performance

• Receive tile-aware size recommendations based on biome and terrain.
• Review a performance budget based on map area, active mods, RAM, processor count, and open maps.
• Tiny and extreme sizes include additional warnings, spawn-footprint protection, and safe asteroid-ruin handling.

Playable / Buildable Area

• Adjust buildable, zoning, and settlement edge distances.
• Use border values above 64 when the current map supports them.
• Scale borders automatically or remove map limits completely.
• Enable persistent boundary overlays with separate color presets.
• Boundary visuals update immediately after setting changes.

Current Map Reroll

• Recreate the loaded ground map at a selected size without leaving the save.
• Eligible player pawns are preserved and respawned on a best-effort basis.
• Buildings, items, animals, terrain, plants, zones, and map layout are regenerated.
• Unsafe states are checked before the operation begins.
• Warning: This is a destructive rebuild tool. Save before using it.

World Reroll

• Regenerate the planet, world grid, factions, seed, climate, population, landmarks, and pollution.
• Run the complete flow in-session without returning to RimWorld's main menu.
• Skip scenario and pawn preparation to focus only on planet generation.
• Recover requested factions, restore world-scale settlement density, and repair incomplete relations.
• Reattach the active player map to the replacement world.
• Retain detached player pawns and migrate caravans when possible.
• Reject incomplete replacement worlds and retain the previous world when validation or finalization fails.

Reroll Safety and Recovery

• Review warnings and blockers through a dedicated World Reroll preflight report.
• Save three World Reroll profiles containing planet parameters and faction selections.
• Create timestamped backups before Current Map Reroll and World Reroll.
• Restore DMS backups through the in-mod Backup Recovery tool.
• A pre-rollback safety copy is created before replacing the active save.

Diagnostics and Compatibility

• Store the latest 20 map-generation attempts.
• Report requested size, actual size, profile, duration, patch owners, active mods, and exceptions.
• Detect risky mod combinations and external Harmony patches affecting map generation.
• Use Safe Generation Mode for targeted compatibility safeguards.
• Show an optional post-generation summary.

Settings, UI, and Language

• Use global settings or optional per-save configurations.
• Import and export settings as plain JSON.
• English is the default language; Turkish is available from Preferences.
• Gameplay controls remain locked until a save is loaded.
• Menus and dialogs use consistent navigation, spacing, expanded scrolling, previews, and visual hierarchy.
• Meet the animated pixel duck mascot on the Overview page.
