Real Ruins

Description
"Everyone is dead or gone. This story is over.
Perhaps someone else will find a use for the ruins of this place."


Have you ever wondered who might be that person which will find a use for those ruins?
With this mod it might be you, or any other RimWorld player!

Server support
This mod requires a remote server to store and distribute ruins blueprints, and this server has traffic and storage fees. It's not a huge amount of money per month, but yearly bill is somewhat big and I don't have that much spare money to support it. So any help is appreciated here.

And remember, $5/month for a month is better than $1/month for a year: in the latter case you more supporting patreon than me.

Description
This mod adds ruins on your map. Ruins of real bases of other players. It also includes two events about exploring the whole abandoned bases created by real people.
You will probably want to know how many planetary maps are available for your seed, and which seed/coverage/size to pick to maximize maps count, you can check this in "distribution" section of https://woolstrand.art/view

I can't reform caravan!

Extended description
This mod generates ruins on your map. Ruins of real bases of other players.
This mod periodically uploads each user's base snapshot to the server, and when one enters a new map, this database provides pieces of those stored bases as templates for abandoned ruins.
Perhaps you'll find just empty dirty shelter with badly damaged wooden bed and a pair of chairs. Perhaps you'll be lucky enough to find someone's silver vault before scavengers from the nearest settlement arrive.

Also this mod provides two events:
Caravan found ruins happens while travelling. You can stop and investigate small ruins complex. It usually does not have any really valuable, but it worth checking anyway. It can contain hostile people or aimals though.
Pristine ruins found: a large abandoned base was discovered nearby. All local settlements sending troops there to loot, and you can also participate in this massacre. Stakes are high, but reward is even higher.

Compatibility
This mod can be added anytime, it won't break your saves and will take effect when you enter into a new map, either starting a new game or with a caravan. However, you probably won't be able to remove it freely if you have active maps generated with this mod.

Same problem as BlackyM is having.

I really adore this mod, however, it's causing malfunction in the game creation, where when you generate world, you still have generation menu opened and cannot proceed.

However, workaround is, that you generate the world first, and then add this mod after.

Can this mod be reworked so that rather than using a map and copy and pasting it instead it takes the area of a Ruin and adds it as a map gen step to a randomly generated map so that map size won't affect the ruins?

The problem is that even after finding over 6k blueprints for the map, all of them were discarded when initializing (checked settings, were set in a way that most of them should appear) ;((

@MR. TETEREW do you have any access to the newest blueprints from some server where they are stored to manually download them? on https://woolstrand.art/view/stats I see that there are over 3 mln blueprints to be used and I have no access to them since my Real Ruins is not downloading anything. Only local mode is usable. Additionally, I've downloaded from GitHub packs of cache but from 2018 and I REALLY would like to see some up-to-date ruins.

Can you help in any way? :)
