Terraforming Mars Tier List Site

Site-only repository for the public Terraforming Mars tier list pages.

Primary live site: tm.knightbyte.win/tierlist

Disabled legacy URL: https://rusliksu.github.io/tm-tierlist/

This repo intentionally contains only the static tier list site surface:

• landing and guide pages
• generated tier list HTML
• images and static assets
• site sync and validation tooling

It intentionally does not contain the advisor runtime, Chrome extension runtime, smartbot runtime, canonical card data, or shared brain packages.

Current Model

• canonical site source lives in apps/tm-site/src/
• publish files live at the repo root and under output/
• production is served from a VPS static release under tm.knightbyte.win/tierlist/
• GitHub Pages is disabled to avoid maintaining two public versions
• tools/site/sync-site.py checks and syncs canonical source to publish paths
• tools/site/test-tierlist-network.mjs verifies local page asset requests

Local Validation

npm install
npm run site:check
npm run test:site

Tier List Builder

The interactive builder is source-owned in apps/tm-site/src/tierlist-builder.html and mirrored to the root tierlist-builder.html for the publish layout.

Builder card data is generated into apps/tm-site/src/tierlist-builder-assets.js and mirrored to the root tierlist-builder-assets.js. The uniform card images used by the builder live in output/builder_cards/.

Useful commands:

node tools/site/build-builder-assets.js
python tools/site/build-builder-card-images.py
npm run site:sync
npm run test:site

Corporation source captures that fix Pathfinder-style top cropping live in tools/site/builder_card_sources/. Refresh them from the live card renderer with:

node tools/site/capture-builder-card-sources.mjs
python tools/site/build-builder-card-images.py

Publishing Notes

• Keep site source changes in apps/tm-site/src/.
• Run npm run test:site before pushing.
• Use main as the source for VPS static releases served at tm.knightbyte.win/tierlist/.
• Keep advisor, extension, smartbot, and data changes in their own repos.
