  Features:
    - Made more casting recipes for bob logistics.

  Bugfixes:
    - Attempted bob fix.
    - Quality module outside of dependency check.
  Info:
    - Due to Rubia version 0.69.130 the mod will force crash your game unless you modify it by adding: "--" to their ("require("__rubia__.compat.cargo-bay-inserters")" should look like
    - "--require("__rubia__.compat.cargo-bay-inserters")" in control.lua & data-update.lua) to force load your game.
    - I totally disagree when mod author adds code that force crashes to your game when other mods changes the behaviour. It tells the player how to play there mod in game without having options. Sure it's an intended feature but let players have the option to turn it off.
