Sovereign AI Simulator

Version 1.2.0 — October 15, 2026

This update focuses on automation: smarter minion priorities, safer resource gathering, protected territories, and more flexible building and mining.

Main additions

• Adaptive AUTO mode: Minions prioritize combat, then heal injured allies—including villagers—then resume construction or mining.
• Sovereign Barriers: Create custom, named protection zones that prevent autonomous harvesting inside their boundaries. Movement, combat, healing, and explicitly commanded construction/mining remain allowed.
• Area Fill construction: Select a 3D volume, choose a block and its orientation, and let builders fill it layer by layer.
• Easier underground selection: Mining and Area Fill volumes can extend below the surface without digging down to select corners.
• Strict job ordering: Minions finish the oldest blueprints/mining before starting newer ones, rather than switching to whichever is closest.

Resource and construction improvements

• Village-scale storage: Material sourcing expands to 128 blocks horizontally and 64 vertically; readiness estimates include nearby containers.
• Smarter crafting and cooperation: Builders craft from available ingredients, preserve wood species, share resources, manage overflow storage, and plant better-spaced trees.
• Safer harvesting: Stronger checks protect existing buildings, completed blueprints, decorative trees, and constructed water features from being consumed for materials.
• Better fluid handling: Correct bucket requirements, source-only blueprint capture, containment-before-fluid placement, bucket reuse, and safer fluid removal.

Notable fixes

• Unloaded chunks no longer cause false job completion or unsafe navigation.
• Builders gain underwater-work protection and safer landing behavior.
• Minion inventory access, skull/head equipment rendering, and fence/pane/wall connections are fixed.
• Barrier rendering crashes, modal layout issues, accidental free Survival materials, and repetitive shortage notifications are addressed.
