Unified Workbench

[0.6] - 29/01/2026

Added

• 10-Tier Upgrade System - The workbench now features a full progression path from tier 1 to 10. Upgrade your station to unlock advanced recipes!
• Recipe Locking - Recipes are no longer all unlocked from the start. High-tier items like Mithril and Thorium gear now correctly require higher workbench tiers.
• Smart Debug Logging - All debug output is now redirected to a dedicated UnifiedWorkbench_Debug.log file instead of spamming the server console. The debug log is created in your world's logs folder (e.g., Saves\[world_name]\logs\UnifiedWorkbench_Debug.log).
• Default Optimization - Debug logging and mod summaries are now disabled by default for a cleaner player experience. Telemetry data dumps are only generated when debug logging is enabled.
• Community Intelligence (Telemetry) - Added an opt-in telemetry system. When enabled, it anonymously sends "Unsorted" recipe IDs to the developer to help improve auto-sorting in future updates. Enable this in unified_workbench.json key: enableTelemetry.
• Intelligent Mod Detection - Implemented ultra-patient caching system that waits for recipe counts to stabilize for 10 seconds before caching, ensuring all mods (including late-registering ones) are detected automatically without manual rescans.
• Shorter Command - Changed the main command from /unifiedworkbench to /uw for easier typing. All existing functionality remains the same with the new shorter command.

Fixed

• Server Log Spam - Eliminated all debug noise from the main server logs. Recipe injection and mod detection messages now only appear in the dedicated debug file.
• Stability Improvements - Fixed crashes that could occur when joining the server or interacting with the workbench
• Recipe Locking Persistence - Fixed recipes becoming unlocked after server restart or player relog
• Performance Lag - Eliminated lag caused by repeated recipe processing on player join
