RimSynapse - WorldNews

Official Wiki and Documentation
A dynamic newspaper that reports on colony gossip, psychological breaks, and geopolitical shifts using Large Language Models.

Bring the Rim to life with a local tabloid! WorldNews acts as a dynamic journalist, generating newspaper pages based on the actual history, wars, romances, and breakdowns occurring in your game.

---

Key Features

Dynamic Tabloid Reporting: Read generated articles covering marriage events, theological schisms, and dramatic pawn breakdowns.
Global News Columns: Reports on distant faction territory shifts, wars, and noble ascensions.
Historical Grounding: Integrates with all other RimSynapse companion mods to print gossip and headlines about your pawns' psychological events.

Roadmap

0.9 - Factions and Living Societies: Ideological artefacts abroad - the article, the conversion, and the war it might start.
0.10 - Cross-Mod Capability Passes: Another pass over how the news draws on every module.

These ship when they are ready - no dates.

Changelog (v0.8.0) - The Colony Newspaper

NEW - The colony newspaper: WorldNews now renders a full newspaper issue from a single model, in-game and as a shareable HTML export.
NEW - Optional AI-generated images for newspaper stories (opt-in), plus a configurable banner.
The newspaper wires into Core's deferred-letter pipeline; publishing holds for images, empty papers are guarded, and ad art renders in black and white.

Changelog (v0.7.0) - Regions and Territories Compatibility

Moves in step with RimSynapse Core v0.7.0.
Requires Core v0.7.0; saves and settings carry over unchanged.

Compatibility Matrix

RimSynapse - Regions and Territories: Recommended and Optional. WorldNews reads its territory, borders and regional beliefs to report the world map - border shifts, new outposts and ideology changes become news. Without it, WorldNews still loads and reports colony-local events as usual; only the world-map coverage stands down.
Royalty DLC: Compatible and Optional. Generates newspapers tracking royal ascensions and empire news.
Ideology DLC: Compatible and Optional. Generates theological debate columns and festival coverage.
Biotech DLC: Compatible and Optional. Generates genetic breakthrough and mechanitor threat articles.
Anomaly DLC: Compatible and Optional. Generates creepy tabloid stories about void sightings.
RimSynapse - Factions: Compatible and Optional. WorldNews will dynamically report on the procedurally generated histories, schisms, and wars of your custom LLM factions.
RimSynapse - Psychology: Compatible and Optional. Newspapers will gossip about your colonists' psychological breakdowns and dramatic therapy sessions.
