Retire colonies and re-embark in the same persistent world, unlock Archotech Multiverse warping to travel to new planets in real time, and track it all with deep multi-era history that keeps evolving via a ledger as you continue to play.
- Re-embark flow: For full “start a new colony in the same world” re-embark flow, you need Pawn Editor, Pawn Editor Forked, Prepare Carefully, or Character Editor.
- Multiverse: Requires Odyssey and completion of the Multiverse Warp Theory research. You also have to have one of the aforementioned mods for this feature as well.
- Module toggles: Enable/disable Ledger, Retirement, and Multiverse in settings before starting a run (module toggles are locked during an active game).
It has a modular architecture:
- Three major modules: Retirement, Multiverse, Ledger
- Each module can be configured independently.
- Optional compatibility features auto-enable when supported mods are detected.
Retirement Module Features:
- Retire your colony into an game-controlled world settlement.
- Retired colonies simulate population, prosperity, defenses, and tech progression over time.
- Former colonists continue living in the world and can be encountered later.
- Optional colony blueprint capture/regeneration lets revisited maps reflect time, prosperity, decay, and upgrades.
- Re-embark to a new World tile or space Asteroid with selectable starting tech presets.
- Optional settings to preserve caravans, vehicle caravans, and colonists on other maps.
- Optional “skip re-embark” path when preserved caravans are available.
Multiverse Module Features
- Adds "Engage Warp Drive" interaction to Odyssey grav engines.
- Travel to newly generated worlds while preserving ongoing historical continuity.
- Timeline supports cross-world/world-instance history filtering.
- Optional integration with Alien Worlds Framework world types.
- Optional integration with World Tech Level for worlds.
- Optional settings for research carryover and entropy behavior.
Ledger Module Features
- Chronological event history with category, time-range, and world-instance filters.
- Tracks pawn history and major life/faction milestones.
- Tracks history by location and political group.
- Tracks named legendary items, ownership, trades, kills, losses.
- Tracks births, deaths, relationships, major injuries, trait/personality shifts, and more.
- Tracks recruitment/defection, leadership changes, role/title/ideology changes, status changes.
- Tracks settlements founded/destroyed, incidents, disasters, and territory-relevant outcomes.
- Tracks ship launch, Archonexus progression/victory, Void Monolith progression/endings (DLC-dependent).
- Tracks Ideologies and Xenotypes.
- Tracks legends across worlds/universes.
- Generates hundreds to thousands of years of prehistory at world start.
- Continues simulating background world activity during play.
- Configurable event categories, rates, prehistory length, and storage limits.
- Supports broad categories including war, diplomacy, politics, personal, disasters, trade, religion, science, exploration, and culture.
CURRENTLY, THE LEDGER IS DISABLED BY DEFAULT IN THE SETTINGS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. IT'S STILL PERFECTLY USABLE, BUT EXPECT SOME ENTRY REDUNDANCY AND/OR JANK. IT WILL REMAIN DISABLED BY DEFAULT UNTIL IT REACHES A POINT WHERE IT IS NO LONGER DEEMED NECESSARY. IF YOU WOULD LIKE THE LEDGER FEATURES, ENABLE THEM IN THE SETTINGS.
Mod support:
- Vanilla Expanded: Broad event/system integration across supported VE content.
- Faction Territories and Vassalage: Territory-aware features and renaming support.
- Map Vehicle Framework: Vehicle caravan preservation options in retirement flow.
- Pawn Editor/Pawn Editor Forked/Prepare Carefully/Character Editor: Re-embark editor flow support.
- Pronouns!: Uses assigned/custom pronouns in legends text.
- Non-Binary Gender: Third-gender aware tracking support.
- Simple Trans: Transition-related history support.
- Alien Worlds Framework: Extra world profiles for multiverse destinations.
- World Tech Level: World tech levels for multiverse destinations.
If a compatible mod is not installed, related features stay hidden/disabled.
- Full settings for sim interval, event generation rates, prehistory length, and max stored events.
- Global pawn sync interval/batch controls.
- Search/filter, pagination, cross-links, jump-to-tile tools, and collapsible sections in UI.
The major hotspot for performance related issues will be the Ledger module. Also, long-running persistent history means more data over time, especially in heavily modded saves. If save growth is too high, consider disabling the ledger module or reduce:
- Prehistory length
- Max stored events
- Event generation rates
- World pawn tracking
Planet Size Optimization: Smaller world generation is enabled by default when the Ledger module is active. Default world size is 9/10 (vanilla baseline is 10). You can tune or disable this in the settings.
Some ideas were inspired by other projects like My Little Planet.
All but one texture was created by me, though may resemble things I've seen across the web. The retire-colony gizmo icon uses a sourced free icon.
Nothing. In an attempt to move beyond publishing mods created with AI, I will be focusing on making texture mods instead from now on. This mod should still work, and I will leave it up for players whose game relies on it, but it will not receive any more updates from now on. All I ask is that you please do not reupload this mod anywhere, and if you make a fork, please give me credit.
Why is this now unlisted?
I don't want to break anyone's game by deleting it, but it is discontinued now, so there's no point in leaving it listed like normally.
This mod's code was created with AI Assistance.
