Autoupdates

Unciv contains built-in capabilities for packing images and autoupdating uniques.

You can automate these updates by adding a GitHub Actions workflow to your repository.

• In your Github page go to "actions" tab
• Suggested for this repo > Simple workflow > "Configure"
• Copy the text of this file ("copy raw file") to the new file in your repo
• Change the file name to "autoupdate.yml" at the top
• "Commit changes" (green button, top-right) > "Commit changes"

On every commit, and once per day, it will:

• Try to shrink PNGs (this is lossless, the pixel data remains the same but the file takes less space)
• Try to autoupdate deprecated uniques

If there are changes, this will create a PR to your repo - here's an example - which you can choose to accept

If you see that the autoupdate isn't 100% - in which case talk to me and we'll sort it out 🙂
