 The Stellaris Dashboard reads your Stellaris save files while you play the game and shows detailed information and statistics about your playthrough.

 # Features
 
-There are two components: A **timeline dashboard** which shows many graphs (30+) of game statistics and a historical map of the galaxy, and an **event ledger** listing the events that define your game's history. You can browse through the event ledger by clicking the links, allowing you to view the history of a specific country, leader, system, or war. For each war, a combat log of major fleet battles and planet invasions is shown.

 ## Hardware Requirements
 
-The Hardware requirements depend on several factors galaxy size, your game speed and the autosave frequency.
-
-If you have a quad-core CPU or better, I suggest allowing 2 threads in the settings menu. You can also change the "Only read every n-th save" option in the settings menu. For example, if you set it to 3, the dashboard will only read every third save, allowing you to keep monthly autosaves, while the dashboard will only read one of them per quarter.
+The Hardware requirements depend on several factors including galaxy size, your preferred game speed and autosave frequency.
 
-For disk space, the database itself should require a few megabytes per in-game decade. The data for each game is stored in a separate database in your output folder (for example `output/db/unitednationsofearth6_1643184243.db`), which is named by the game ID, so you can delete them individually.
-
-Stellaris always deletes the oldest autosave so only the most recent files are kept. If you plan a long game and want to be able to re-generate the database later (in case I release an update or if something goes wrong), you need to continually backup the save files yourself. This requires more disk space for all the save files, but allows you to rebuild the full database at any point using the command `stellarisdashboardcli parse-saves --save-path *path to your save_backup*`. If you do this, I recommend only backing up auto-save files, as the saves are processed in alphabetical order, and the dashboard expects to process them in order of increasing in-game time.

 ## Update notifications
-Since the dashboard is still a work in progress, I release updates fairly regularly. If a new version of the dashboard program is released I also release an update in the Steam workshop, and you will then see a notification in the dashboard UI.

 ## Why a separate program?
 The dashboard is quite complex and to my knowledge, making a mod with these features by editing the game files would be impossible, or at least much more difficult. This is why you have to run the external program to use the dashboard.

 ## Known Limitations
 
   1. Loading save files out of order (with respect to in-game time) is not supported, and will probably screw up the database.
