Another vote for being able to set the model for openrouter

i notice that if i use deepseek's API, i can't choose the model type, which may be the reason case the problem that showing "400 bad request". Because in "EchoColony", i can set the model as "deepseek-chat", and it work well. Could you please add a dialog that i can choose the model for other third-party API?

I saw in the settings that EchoTales allows filling in third-party APIs and addresses, but there is no option to select a model, which I hope can be adjusted.

Hello friends! I’ve released an update where the AI will now write only once per day. You can also configure the writing cycle based on in-game days or real time. This means there will be more time between each piece of text, giving the narrator many more events and situations to create stories from.

Also: unrelated to my previous bit - would it be possible for the AI to provide contextual commentary based on a pawn's genes? For example, I have a pawn with a deathless gene that will resurrect 'em eventually (because of biotech shenanigans) - could the AI could take note of it & mention that the pawn will be back eventually?

Here are a couple of remarks/questions based on only a couple hours worth of play so far:

This makes a great first-impression, but it's novelty wanes quickly (at least in early-game). Even with the messages happening once a day, the AI's messages get kinda stale too quickly since there isn't a large variety of events to comment on. Not to mention that the AI's sentence structure is not varied enough to make the daily updates feel meaningful.

Granted, part of that is probably on me - I could probably update the AI's directive to have a more rounded personality instead of being pretty one-dimensional. If you have any tips on how to make the AI act less like a running joke, I'll happily take any advice or tips you could provide.

+1 to RpgBlaster's question - I'd also be interested in seeing infrequent, yet more detailed summaries/remarks on what's happening.

Could you please support Deepseek? I don't have the necessary conditions to use gemmi.TOT

@Gerik Uylerk I'm asking because having to read a new entry everyday is far too distracting

it's really really really nice ai mod and i'm so excited to play rimworld again. plz allow me to change model when i use openrouter, just like "echo colony" plz.

Is there a config if I only want the Mod to write a summary of the entire month or so it activate every 7 days so it does not trigger anytimes every minutes?

Can you add a button to clear the entire history so you don't have to delete every single report

Hello everyone! 🌟

I’ve just released a new update for the mod with several important improvements. I’ve added many additional filters so that the narrator no longer detects hidden dangers by mistake, and I also included a new option that allows you to completely disable the narration of battles or dangers in general.

Thank you all for continuing to use the mod and for your suggestions, which always help make it better! 🙌

Please make it so echo tales doesn't blabber on about enemies when they are within the ancient danger, or just make it so they don't at all idc

Would love for the conversations from EchoColony to be taken into account with EchoTales! That would be so freakin' cool.

Great mod, thanks!

As a note for others, the "adaptation pressure" references are due to inclusion in generated prompt of this internal gameplay factor (google "rimworld adaption factor"). Not really sure why it is there; you can try and get the model to ignore it by telling it to do so in the global prompt.

Would be great to see this open-sourced to allow community contributions.

Guys, I realised why mod writes about ememies, when u even dont see them, it's because of ANCIENT DANGER. There is might be a bunch of monsters or mechanoids. It's so ridiculously xd. Im playing on map with huge mountain and found ancient danger only just now! Hope helped someone

Would you please make an update on the Gemini settings to allow selections for its latest models such as 2.5 pro and flash?

whre are the tales saved so i can onece in a while remove old ones there is no option to do so ingame

would be great if this would work together with WorldBuilder, and take some context from character narratives and stuff

Love this mod with echo colony. It brings a whole new role play element into the mix of things, but I do hate that the AI sometimes wont answer questions and instead pass it off as "What ever you think is best." Instead of the character answering what they'd do based on their personality

Having the same issue as Jolays, even EchoColony has this issue :(

I did some further research and found something related to why the default setting isn’t doing anything for me.
Does this mod send parameter of "openrouter/auto" for the model selection on OR?
I’m no expert, but according to people on Git, the "openrouter/auto" value opts you in to OpenRouter’s dynamic routing and fallback system. This system does not use the dashboard's default setting; it prioritizes GPT 4o (or whichever is the highest-ranked model) unless you override it explicitly.
I also saw that if you want to use the dashboard’s Default Model, clients must not send a model or you can send "openrouter/auto", but only if you've opted to deactivate auto behavior.
As an alternative, could you allow us to specify the model ID in the in-game mod settings menu like Echocolony does?

How do I choose models for Openrouter? I set my Default Model to Sonnet in the Settings page on Openrouter website but the mod still uses R1 or GPT-4o.

Hope I could get some help here. I dont know why, but the mod sees some anomaly monsters on my map, and every day, every tale he writes about 'em. How can i fix it? It lasts since the first day, btw. No anomaly threats were so far. Sry for my english, it's not native

Hey it looks like the KoboldCPP side passes along the incorrect values for max_length from the mod settings.

The prompt adds "Do this within 0 characters" and the max_length is set to 7000

Updated to version 1.6! I’ve also improved several internal aspects to make the generated storytelling and memories smoother

Could you please update to version 1.6, sir? I really like this mod

1.6 please

Hope the author will update soon, looks like it is not updated since two month.

Hello, thanks for the author for provided this wonder mod! I have a question, how can I set the model name when I using OpenRouter? I see deepseek-r1 was used in my pc. I want to use another model. Thank you.

It would be nice to have an option to 'reset' the memory (i.e delete all previous memories)

good! good!

For some reason mine keeps talking about the same stuff over and over. It also got the colony name wrong, any idea what i have done wrong? maybe some mod incompatibility

fun idea, but doesn't work whatsoever, every model i've tried, including ones recommended by yourself, keep outputting the systemprompt instead of a story

Getting an infinite "Generating Story Entry" on a midsave. It works for another midsave, but it was under 10 days. This one is a bigger modpack and at 108 days.

I am so happy it can be used with Open Router buuut it would be very sweet if we can select the model the site provides pretty please?
I am not sure what is selected by default but it wants to use credits while I could connect the DS 0324:free instead :3

Besides this, it's such a cool mod that gives each colony day a little more character <3

So what model should I use ideally, I'm using gemini 2.0 and the narration often repeats itself ("food is scarce", "summer persists", etc). The memory is also getting clogged up with stuff like daily work and has several repeating entries

Minor suggestion if possible can we get a scroll wheel when we're looking through the AI memory?

Ok this was really neat! My story teller actually had two colonists talking to each other! They were talking about a prisoner I have that we're working on converting. I didn't prompt them or anything to speak to one another.

And then one pawn went to talk to the prisoner in the progress of converting them!

Something i've noticed with the storyteller is that they really struggle with past tense. For example, we had a massive raid during the night, but by morning there weren't any bodies left (Harbinger feast mod) so i prompted the storyteller to write about last night's battle, but it wrote it as if it was an upcoming battle. Was i supposed to edit the memory instead of making it generate an entry or?

Sorry for the inconvenience
It sounds like the phrase “adaptation pressure” might be stuck in the internal memory of the storyteller. I recommend checking the internal memory or prompt history of the writer—there’s a good chance that line got saved unintentionally and is now being echoed in every entry.

Try editing the stored entries and removing any mention of “adaptation pressure” from the writer’s memory. Once it's cleared or reworded, the storyteller should stop repeating it.

Why does it keep talking about adaptation pressure T^T? Not an entry goes by that mentions it, I don't even know what exactly its referring to. Everyone is healthy, we're thriving, "yet the adaptation pressure looms"

This mod is absolutely incredible, easily my new favorite. I’ve always loved how RimWorld acts as a story generator, and this mod takes that storytelling to a whole new level. It makes me feel truly connected to my colonists as individuals, not just pawns, and adds emotional depth in a way that completely changes how I experience the game. Thank you so much for creating something that brings the colony to life in such a meaningful way!

@harrydubois: I’ve tested it with over 150 mods and haven’t seen any performance drops. The mod doesn’t constantly read the game; it only does a quick read when generating a story, so it’s very lightweight.

@Acorn: Thanks so much for the feedback! I’ll check everything and push an update soon. In the meantime, I suggest editing the internal memory of the storyteller. Noting that Flash is a dinosaur and not a wolf might help stop the confusion.

@Vanessa Reyes: The global prompt helps give your storyteller a custom tone — you can make them more humorous, dramatic, like a news anchor, or even a nature documentary. If you leave it blank, they’ll write like an epic, dramatic novelist by default.

Oh yeah this is gonna be great

How is it in terms of performance? Sounds quite demanding!

Ah, somethin' else to add. They said my colonist collapsed from "high adaptation pressure" but they actually collapsed because they were going into labor.

Ok this is just funny mostly but guess you could try to add support xD. I have a troodon (dinosaur) named Flash and the storyteller keeps saying they're a wolf. This is from Biomes! Preshistoric.

Somethin' I even suggest - look over the Generations 2 modpack list thingy and what to add support for? Mostly because I think a lot of people use it. Esp Samuel's mods the flavour one - mainly for frogge.

What do i put as the global prompt? I'm not familiar with promp engineering

A question just to see if I understand the idea of ​​the mod: can I create my own story and have the AI ​​create the rest, like dialogues, etc.? Because that's what I understood.
