Changelog

Version: 1.2.13
Date: 2025-07-18
  Changes:
    - excluded `AbandonedRuins_updated_fork` as they both does the same

Version: 1.2.12
Date: 2025-07-18
  Changes:
    - renamed `spawn_table` to `spawn_chances` as tables are tables already and
      `spawn_changes` is more descriptive
    - added some more assertitions
    - added some minor debug lines

Version: 1.2.11
Date: 2025-06-07
  Fixed:
    - had to rename `stack-inserter` to `bulk-inserter` (thanks to @Dogman15 for reporting this)

Version: 1.2.10
Date: 2025-04-26
  Fixes:
    - Parameter `size` was wrongfully documented as `number` must be `string`

Version: 1.2.9
Date: 2025-04-19
  Changes:
    - The event `on_tick` did generate to many useless messages, it is now separated from
      usual debug purposes (EXTREMELY RARE USED!)

Version: 1.2.8
Date: 2025-04-18
  Fixes:
    - Possible fix for spawning ruins on heavy oil (Fulgora) or lava (Vulcanus)
      or anything not ground without using hard-coded planet names
    - the goal here is to allow Nauvis-like (water-based oceans) planets to have
      ruins spawned on without explicitly naming each planet and not spawning on anything
      that isn't a ground tile

  Changes:
    - more assertions added
    - more debug lines added (for checking if above fix works)
    - reformatted some one-line code
    - added debug messages and global runtime setting (map) for intense debugging

Version: 1.2.7
Date: 2025-04-12
  Fixes:
    - `mods` was/is a mod shorthand to `scripts.active_mods` and is not generic

Version: 1.2.6
Date: 2025-04-12
  Changes:
    - added Fulgora and Vulcanus as excluded surface, the "water" there isn't
      detected correctly yet (see `@todo`), @mooklepticon and @Silly_Warlock reported it
    - renamed a few variables, e.g. `e` to `event` as I don't shorten anything
    - don't invoke these functions with invalid surfaces, otherwise you will get an assertion

Version: 1.2.5
Date: 2025-03-28
  Fixes:
    - Finally fixed last error, thank you to @Arrevax for reporting it (I saw here, too)

Version: 1.2.4
Date: 2025-03-28

    - converted many table.insert() into a for in pairs() loop

Version: 1.2.2
Date: 2025-03-27
  Fixes:
    - missed to change these, too (yes small ruins isn't still a loop)

Version: 1.2.1
Date: 2025-03-27
  Fixes:
    - ops, need to add curly braces here, it is a list/array

Version: 1.2.0

  Fixes:
    - defenses will now attack hostile buildings (thank you to @Dran_____ for reporting and @Silly_Warlock
