Innangard

Innangard

Beyond the wall lies chaos. Within it, your people.

Hi, I'm Yololo. Innangard is a one-person project that I build in my evenings and

weekends, and it's free - it always will be. No part of it will ever sit behind a paywall,

whatever happens.

But every hour I put into it is an hour I have to find somewhere. If your villagers have

made you smile, or saved you a few trips to the chests, a coffee's worth on

Patreon goes straight back into the mod: more

crafts, fewer bugs, quicker fixes. It honestly makes the difference between "someday" and

"next week".

And if that's not for you, that's completely fine. Playing it, leaving a comment or sending

a bug report helps more than you'd think. Thank you for being here.

Come and say hello on Discord. Show off your

settlement, ask when something puzzles you, report a bug and see it fixed, and hear what

is coming next before anyone else.

Build a living settlement: recruit villagers, assign them real work, and keep order

inside the walls. Raise a Frithstone, take people in, give each a craft, and the village

keeps working while you are away.

Then join your settlements together. Survey a road between two of them, build it with a

work party beside you, and send caravans down it that arrive whether or not you are there

to watch.

innangardr is Old Norse for "within the enclosure": the ordered world inside the

fence, as opposed to utangardr, the wild beyond.

0.2.0 - a settlement that tidies itself

0.2.1 fixes a hitch about once a minute while a farmer had nothing to plant. Everything

else below is 0.2.0.

Chests say what they are for when you look at them, take a name, and can be set from the

chest window itself - Shift+right-click pins a thing, "Keep what's inside here" keeps the

lot, and green and red frames show what belongs and what will be carried away. Every

item's tooltip says where it belongs. Caretakers put the chests and the floor first, and

their sorting rounds deliver everything they collect.

Residents have spare time and conversations now: they stroll, sit somewhere quiet and stop

to talk to each other instead of standing round the stone. Guards walk their rounds out of

step, and one greydwarf no longer puts the whole village on alert.

Every setting is in game - Esc, then Innangard - and the panel has a Guide tab that

explains the mod one topic at a time.

Everyone on a server needs the same version. Back up your world before updating, as

always.

0.1.0 - the trading system is live

Your settlements can be joined by roads, and caravans can run on them.

Name a settlement, survey a way to another one, and the mod draws a line that keeps off

the water, out of the mountains and off anything too steep to carry a load over. Then you

build it: hoe a path along the line and the stretch turns green, lay it in stone and it

turns pale blue. Muster a work party and two or three of your people walk out with you,

laying whatever you lay where they are standing and clearing the trees, stumps and

boulders in the way. Put a trade chest at each end, fill one, and send a caravan - the

carriers walk the road at the pace the road allows and the goods turn up at the other

end, whether or not you are there to watch. The load goes on their backs - there is no

waggon - and a finished road carries six times what a bare line does.

Nothing is bought or sold: both villages are yours, so what passes between them is

carrying rather than trading.

What comes next. Barter and prices, so a caravan can trade rather than only carry.

Roads between settlements belonging to different players. Sea routes and harbours.

Caravans that can be raided, and guards who go with them to see that they are not.

Bridges, so a river stops being the end of a road. The Miner, once it has been watched

through a full session. And titles below Leader, so a settlement can be shared with

somebody without handing them the whole of it.

No updates for about a month. I am away from home and will not be able to work on

this or
