Xenofactions v2.1.7 Hotfix

Multi-Dimension Compatibility

• Fixed numerous systems that still assumed the Overworld when resolving territory ownership.
• Prestige buildings, structures, tents, statues, flags, and other tile entities now correctly resolve ownership in the dimension they are placed in.

• Added additional legacy save migration for older worlds that did not store dimension information. Legacy homes and warps are automatically migrated to the Overworld (dimension 0) during loading.
• Removed vanilla sky visibility requirements from foundation-based structures, allowing them to function correctly in dimensions with permanent ceilings (such as the Nether, End, and similar modded dimensions). Structures now validate their foundation and available build space instead.

City Center & Faction Information

• Added a live prestige generation display showing current hourly prestige income.
• /c info now displays current prestige generation per hour and net prestige generation directly from live faction data.
• /c info now refreshes City Center information from loaded tile entities, ensuring upgraded city levels, radius, upkeep, and dimension information are always accurate.

Alliance Improvements

• Added /c allies and /c allylist as quick aliases for viewing alliances.
• Improved alliance listings to display None when a faction has no allies.
• Alliance listings now also display any pending alliance offers.
• /c info now displays allied factions alongside enemies for a complete diplomatic overview.
• Added internal formatting improvements for alliance and pending-offer displays.

Commands & Documentation

  • Alliance persistence
  • Runtime war-state persistence
  • City Center prestige synchronization
