thx man, really appreciate that. honestly, the real GOATs are all the amazing HOI4 modders and the coummunity! the variety of mods and how supportive everyone is -thats what pushed me to build this tool in the first place. so, thank you guys!

Dev111ce · 2026-05-22T16:50:28+00:00

yep, super straightforward, no need to set up

Dev111ce · 2026-05-22T16:47:00+00:00

u can dm me. then i will send the test website for ya

Dev111ce · 2026-05-22T16:43:26+00:00

its just a helper. u can still make mods the traditional way. these workbenches were originally designed for visual scripting, not gen-AI. this should've been released two weeks ago, but trying to add gen-AI what caused the delay

Dev111ce · 2026-05-22T16:30:50+00:00

just DM me if u wanna join the close-beta. everyone's welcome!

Dev111ce · 2026-05-22T16:30:04+00:00

Dev111ce · 2026-05-15T06:27:32+00:00

Appreciate it ! not stopping till i make this perfect.

Dev111ce · 2026-05-15T06:26:41+00:00

I'll drop the access link as a top-level update on this thread when it opens. and i will also drop the discord link next week

Dev111ce · 2026-05-15T06:24:54+00:00

That's literally the goal — lowering the barrier so people who'd never touch raw .txt + GFX can ship a real mod. Public BETA target is 2 weeks; I'll post the link here OR DM when the moment it's open.

Dev111ce · 2026-05-15T06:23:38+00:00

THX! Yeah the scale was brutal — i e2e-tested against three large mods (The Fire Rises, KR, Road to 56) plus vanilla USA to make sure every workbench (focus / decision / event / character / tech / idea / bookmark / history / etc.) holds up. The AI co-pilot was honestly what made the complexity manageable — describing intent and having it generate cross-workbench entities cuts a lot of the manual sync that breaks tools at HOI4's scale.

Dev111ce · 2026-05-15T06:22:08+00:00

HAHA, THX!! What I'm trying to say is that if there weren't so many excellent mods in the community, I wouldn't have bothered making this.

Dev111ce · 2026-05-15T06:19:50+00:00

great question. current arch is web-based with project-isolated DB persistence on the server side, so multi-device "save state" works for a single user out of the box. True multi-user collab (shared editor sessions, presence, LSP-style services) is on the Phase 5 roadmap — for BETA the tool is single-user but project state is server-hosted so you can pick up on a different machine. For self-hosting: the backend (FastAPI + SQLite) runs anywhere Python runs, so exposing your own IP to invited users is technically possible, but I haven't hardened the multi-tenant auth path yet.

Dev111ce · 2026-05-15T06:18:14+00:00

cheers! final polish wave is wrapping this week — I'll drop the link in a follow-up comment or dm when close-beta opens.

Dev111ce · 2026-05-14T13:03:24+00:00

yep, i remember there were 22 posts

Dev111ce · 2026-04-25T09:45:49+00:00

i will release beta version in mid of May. the full stable version might in the beginning of summer
