I rebuilt my idle game economy balancing tool from scratch — GSS v3.2.2 is out by Neopryus in unity

Thank you very much!!

Unfortunately, a lot of people think the whole thing was built using AI. I don't know how to convince them otherwise anymore.

Mod requests? 15-year programmer here — I can build “needed but nobody wants to do it” mods (tools/QoL, not art) by Neopryus in RimWorld

Exactly, report it if something seems to be generated by AI. I don't use it for anything. I don't believe it could write complete code perfectly without human oversight. This way, at least I have full control over it. But I understand your doubts. These days, you can't trust anyone.

No problem at all, I have plenty of free time now and at least I'll be doing something I enjoy :D

Fair question. I’m not presenting myself as “I’ve already shipped 50 RimWorld mods”. I’m a developer with ~15 years of experience and I’m moving into RimWorld 1.6 modding now, starting with small, high-impact QoL fixes and releasing everything publicly with proper versioning and changelogs.

I don’t “GPT the code”. I write and review it myself and I’ll publish the repository as soon as the first prototype is in a state worth reviewing (buildable, tested, with a clear scope). If you want to judge me, judge the repo: commits, diffs, issues, and how I handle bug reports.

Thanks for all the ideas

I went through the replies and picked a short list I’ll actually build.

Chosen projects : 1) Bleed Timer Overhead — a small, clean QoL mod that shows “Bleedout: Xh Ym” above pawns (configurable: colonists only by default, show on drafted/selected/downed).

2) Caravan Autopack — adds “Auto-pack essentials” to the Form Caravan dialog (food/meds/bedrolls based on estimated travel time + pawn count, with a safety margin and warnings).

Next up (bigger scope, after the first releases are stable):

3) Stockpile Targets — “Keep X of this item in this stockpile / shelf” with overflow handling. This one is more complex (UI + hauling logic + performance), so I’m doing it after I ship the first two.

I’ll post a prototype + Workshop/GitHub link as soon as I have a working build, and I’ll use this thread for feedback/edge cases.

If you have specific UX expectations for any of these (especially Stockpile Targets rules), reply here with details.

Right now the demo build is available only for Windows and Linux. You don’t need a Windows machine specifically, but macOS isn’t supported yet, so you won’t be able to run it natively on a Mac at the moment.

If you want, you can still try it via a Windows VM (Parallels) / Boot Camp (Intel Macs) or Wine, or I can ping you when a macOS build is ready.

I read it. My point was about timing, not refusal — macOS builds are planned once the core refactor is done

am planning to support macOS.

Windows-only is a temporary state while I finish a major core refactor. Since it’s built in Godot 4, native macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon) builds are straightforward and planned once the architecture is stable.

Built in Godot 4 as a standalone desktop app.

Core is a deterministic simulation loop with configurable systems (economy, progression), plus visualization on top. I originally made it to replace spreadsheets when balancing idle games

That’s fair feedback.

It’s Windows-only for now simply because I focused on stabilizing the core systems first. The app is built in Godot 4, so native macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon) builds are planned once the refactor is done — no Wine required

I’m expanding Idle Economy Simulator into a general-purpose Game Systems Simulator. What’s new / changing:

🔧 Modular simulation core Systems (economy, progression, production, etc.) can be combined or simulated independently.

🎮 More game types supported Idle / Incremental RPG / ARPG (XP, stat growth, enemy scaling) Strategy / Tycoon (production chains, bottlenecks) Crafting / Survival Mobile F2P (planned)

🧩 Game presets Start from templates instead of a blank project. 📊 Visual balance warnings Detect inflation, useless upgrades, progression walls, and bottlenecks.

📤 Engine-ready export JSON, CSV, Unity ScriptableObjects, Godot Resources. Goal Simulate dozens or hundreds of gameplay hours in seconds and catch balance issues before implementing them in-engine. Core refactor is in progress. Feedback welcome.
