Litterally changelog

All notable changes to Litterally are documented in this file. The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[1.1.0] - 2026-08-04

Changed

• New installs now get the vanilla amount of trash. TrashMultiplier used to default to 10, which meant installing a performance mod also multiplied your litter by ten. Set it back up whenever you want the piles; the layer keeps them just as cheap.
  • Already playing? Your MelonPreferences.cfg keeps whatever you have set. Change it there if you want the new default.

[1.0.1] - 2026-08-04

Fixed

• Turning on the debug stats panel or the trash highlighting no longer crashes the game. Both drew their boxes in a way this build of the game does not support (ShowStatsPanel, ShowActiveItems and ShowRanges in MelonPreferences).

[1.0.0] - 2026-06-20

First public release.

Added

• Routes the game’s own generated trash into a cheap GPU-instanced field (rendered in a few draw calls, stored as compact arrays) so the map can hold tens of thousands of trash items at a playable frame rate.
• Materializes real, interactable TrashItems only in the small working set around the player and cleaners - everything else stays virtual until you (or a cleaner) get near it.
• Keeps all base-game behaviour: pick up / throw nearby trash, cleaners roam and collect and dispose litter as usual, and persistence is preserved.
• Sleeping-dynamic materialized physics: nearby trash settles into natural resting poses, collides realistically, can be shoved or thrown, then auto-sleeps so it stops costing.
• Compact save blob: the field is saved as one blob and restored on load, written outside the game’s save folder so it can never bloat or corrupt your save.
• Good citizen: only the game generator’s own trash is absorbed; trash another mod creates directly is left untouched.
• Render distance cap for the instanced field (RenderDistance) - a perf win when looking across open ground, with no effect on interaction range.
• Settings: EnablePerformanceLayer, EnableInMultiplayer, MaxRealItems, MaterializeDistance, RenderDistance, TrashMultiplier, ActivePhysics, plus opt-in on-screen overlays (ShowFpsCounter, ShowActiveItems, ShowStatsPanel, ShowRanges).

Notes

• The instanced field is local-only, so the performance layer auto-disables in multiplayer to avoid desync (set EnableInMultiplayer to try it anyway). Host-authoritative multiplayer support is a planned follow-up.
