# Agrarian Development Roadmap

This roadmap converts the Agrarian master vision into a practical, trackable development plan. It is intentionally broad and granular so the project can grow from a small playable Unreal prototype into a long-term persistent civilization platform without losing the original direction.

## Project North Star

Agrarian is a persistent generational civilization simulator where players rebuild humanity through survival, stewardship, family, labor, trade, governance, and technological progress.

The guiding question is:

> What survives after you are gone?

Core commitments:

- [ ] Civilization is built, not spawned.
- [ ] Legacy matters more than levels.
- [ ] History is never erased.
- [ ] The frontier always exists somewhere.
- [ ] Knowledge is the true progression system.
- [ ] AGR has both in-game and real-world community value.
- [ ] No pay-to-win mechanics.
- [ ] No seasonal wipes.
- [ ] No loot boxes.
- [ ] No fragmented DLC model.
- [ ] Build the smallest strong survival foundation first.
- [ ] Keep every system compatible with long-term persistence and generations.
- [ ] Build toward an Earth-scale world made from real-world terrain tiles.
- [ ] Keep travel paced by believable real-world movement, vehicles, terrain, and character condition.
- [ ] Treat terrain, bathymetry, biomes, resources, rivers, and mountains as data-driven long-term infrastructure, not one-off maps.

# Phase 0 - Project Foundation And Guardrails

Goal: Prepare the project so all future development is controlled, recoverable, documented, and aligned with the long-term vision.

## 0.1 Repository And Source Control

- [x] Decide where the Unreal project repository will live.
- [x] Create or confirm GitHub repository for the Unreal project.
- [x] Decide whether large assets use Git LFS.
- [x] Add Git LFS for `.uasset`, `.umap`, large media, and binary assets if using Git.
- [x] Create `.gitignore` for Unreal Engine.
- [x] Ensure `Binaries/`, `Intermediate/`, `Saved/`, and `DerivedDataCache/` are excluded unless intentionally needed.
- [x] Commit clean baseline project.
- [ ] Create protected `main` branch.
- [?] Create `dev` branch if we want staging before main.
- [~] Define branch naming conventions.
- [~] Define commit message conventions.
- [ ] Define backup expectations for NAS and repo.
- [x] Confirm this roadmap file is committed or otherwise backed up.

## 0.2 Engine And Tooling Decisions

- [x] Confirm Unreal Engine version.
- [x] Decide Blueprint-first, C++-first, or hybrid approach.
- [?] Decide whether Gameplay Ability System is needed now or later.
- [x] Decide networking model for MVP.
- [x] Decide dedicated server target platform.
- [x] Decide local development platforms.
- [x] Decide build machine strategy.
- [x] Create repeatable local build instructions.
- [x] Create repeatable packaged build instructions.
- [ ] Create repeatable dedicated server build instructions.
- [~] Document required plugins.
- [x] Disable unneeded plugins.
- [x] Confirm project compiles from a clean checkout.
- [ ] Confirm project opens from a clean checkout.

Current tooling decisions:

- Unreal Engine version: `5.7`.
- Development approach: hybrid C++ foundation with Blueprint/content assembly in the editor.
- Source control and daily coding: Ubuntu-Codex working against the Unraid `projects` share.
- Editor/build host: Windows-Builder VM with GPU passthrough.
- Headless build path for Codex: Unraid QEMU guest agent into Windows-Builder.
- Preferred interactive editor/gameplay connection: Parsec or similar real-GPU remote desktop, not RDP.
- Dedicated server target: Linux for multiplayer hosting.
- Windows compiler used by Unreal 5.7: VS 2022 Build Tools MSVC `14.44.35207`.
- Packaged Windows demo wrapper: `Scripts/PackageWindowsDevelopment.bat`.
- Current investor demo starts on the Ground Zero terrain map: `/Game/Agrarian/Maps/L_GroundZeroTerrain_Test`.
- Rendering baseline: the project remains DX12-first for future Unreal 5
  features, while packaged investor builds include a Windows compatibility
  override and launchers so demo machines can start reliably with DX11 if DX12
  startup fails.
- Investor-demo release rule: whenever all tracked roadmap items for a version
  milestone are complete, including minor versions like `.01` or `.6` and major
  versions like `1`, build and smoke-test a fresh Windows packaged executable
  for investor/demo review.

from real terrain and ocean data. The intended unit is a 1 km x 1 km tile. At
full Earth scale this implies roughly 510-520 million possible tiles, added over

redownloaded when a player returns to a region.

- [ ] Define tile adjacency and stitching rules.
- [ ] Define tile versioning rules so terrain can improve without corrupting player state.
- [ ] Define server-side tile delivery protocol.
- [ ] Define client local tile cache layout.
- [ ] Define local cache retention policy for old or unused tiles.
- [ ] Define local cache redownload/revalidation behavior.
- [x] Define minimum metadata per tile: coordinates, biome, elevation range, water coverage, source datasets, generation version, neighbors, and publish status.
- [x] Evaluate real terrain/elevation data sources.
- [x] Evaluate bathymetry/ocean-depth data sources.
- [ ] Evaluate river, lake, coastline, road, and land-cover data sources.
- [ ] Define automated terrain import pipeline for a single 1 km tile.
- [ ] Define automated biome and natural resource inference pipeline.
- [ ] Define QA checks for terrain seams, water edges, slope extremes, and missing source data.
- [x] Build a small tile-tracking database prototype before scaling beyond MVP.
- [x] Build an MVP tile registry table for the Ground Zero tile and immediate neighbors.
- [ ] Keep World Partition compatibility as a hard requirement for all terrain decisions.
