v0.1.2 | 2026-05-04
* **AFDsettings.json** is no longer distributed inside the mod ZIP — it is generated automatically in the mod folder on first run, populated with the current defaults and inline documentation.
* Settings file now contains a **settingsVersion** stamp; when the mod version advances the file is automatically migrated while preserving user values.
* Added **afd_save_settings** console command to write current in-memory global defaults back to **AFDsettings.json** at any time.
* Added global defaults for whether the Forestry Designations and Forestry Information panels start expanded or collapsed, configurable via **AFDsettings.json** or console commands.

v0.1.1 | 2026-05-03
* Added concise license and attribution notices to source files and README.

v0.1.0 | 2026-05-03
* First public release of Kayser's Automatic Forestry Designations.
* Added Create Designations and Clear Designations controls directly to Forestry Towers.
* Automatically scans the selected tower area and places valid forestry designations on eligible 4x4 tiles.
* Clear removes only forestry designations inside the selected tower area and leaves other terrain designations alone.
* Supports per-tower placement options for fertile-only tiles, reachable tiles, existing terrain designations, max tiles per run, and harvest-ready tree marking.
* Uses vehicle pathability to prefer tiles reachable by TreePlanters and TreeHarvesters.
* Sorts designation candidates by driving distance so nearby reachable ground is filled first.
* Adds a collapsible Forestry Information panel with tree count, estimated capacity, tree maturity, sustainable yield, and growth breakdown.
* Estimates tree capacity from actual plantable designation tiles instead of vanilla approximate capacity.
* Uses the tower's harvest threshold and game difficulty tree maturity settings in labels, charts, and yield estimates.
* Refreshes forestry information after creating or clearing designations and when the tower harvest threshold changes.
* Includes AFDsettings.json for startup defaults.
