Imperium v1.3.0 - Regular Update
This update tackles a number of long-standing bugs alongside several frequently requested features. The biggest change under the hood is a rework of the object explorer's multiplayer functionality, which is now far more robust against desync and network latency: updates are only sent when objects actually change, the explorer refreshes periodically to stay in sync, and RPCs are more consistently routed through the host for better access control.
Modded outdoor and indoor hazards added by LLL and DawnLib are now fully supported as well, so network-aware modded hazards will work out of the box. Oracle has also been updated to correctly predict entities in v81.
General Changes
- Reworked the map obstacle section in the moon control window.

Imperium v1.0.0 - The Release
We've come a long way since the release of the first Imperium prototype in early April 2024 to where we are today. Imperium was my first modding project for any game and it was just meant to be a fun little tool to explore the wonderful mechanics of this amazing game.
But thanks to the continuous support from so many of you loyal employees, mod devs and content creators, which were eagerly providing feedback and feature ideas, I was able to expand this initial idea into this fully fledged debugging swiss-army knife for Lethal Company!
I think Imperium is now finally in a stable state where most of the community's and my ideas are implemented and the majority of the P1 and P2 bugs are resolved. And while this definitely isn't the end of Imperium support, I do plan on moving on to different modding / game dev projects as well as Imperium for R.E.P.O in the future.
~The Emperor, gio
The Imperium release is mostly aimed at fixing all the remaining P1 and P2 bugs as well as implementing the last few features that I had on my list for such a long time now, such as the time slider and the dungeon flow override. I also spent some time polishing the UI and improving the overall usability of Imperium. This includes interface animations and transitions, smoother loading as well as improved global tooltips.

- Various UI layout fixes and adjustments to improve usability.

Imperium v0.2.2 [Beta] - The Event Log
Besides a load of QoL changes, bug fixes and compatibility changes, this update is aimed at the implementation of the event log and the tape measure. The event log is a tool that allows you to track in-game events such as entity behaviour, targeting and noise detection more easily.
Another change is that Imperium is now usable even if not everyone in the lobby has it installed. There is currently no desync guarding, meaning it is possible to cause desync issues when clients don't have it installed, so use with caution! I will be working on automatically deactivating certain functionality based on the lobby to avoid these issues in the future.
Note: This version of Imperium is compatible with the Version 60 of Lethal Company.

The event log allows you to track specific game events such as entity spawns, noise detection, entity targeting and LoS detection and more.

Imperium v0.2.0 [Beta] - The Interface Update
This update is a huge one and mainly aimed at the rework of the UI system as well as the integration of new visualizers and debug options for the new update v55! As the previous UI solution was quite static and hard to maintain and expand, I decided to switch from static views with frozen windows to a more dynamic approach with floating windows! I also decided to finally integrate InputUtils, as a lot of people have requested. Imperium keybinds can now be re-bound in the settings.
Besides that, I re-wrote the whole internal networking and switched form manual RPCs to using the LethalNetworkAPI for all network communication in Imperium. This should provide more stability when using Imperium in multiplayer and reduce client de-syncs when changing game variables at runtime.
Finally, I also expanded the Imperium API and added a lot of new functionality, including being able to synchronously spawn items and entities as well as enabling and disabling core functionality such as god mode or flight.
Added Stuff

Merged most of the smaller windows into a large Imperium UI that supports floating windows.
