Changelog

Version: 1.0.3
Date: 2026-11-05
  Info:
    - Factorio 2.1 release of 1.0.2.

Version: 1.0.2
Date: 2026-11-05
  Info:
    - Marked as incompatible with bzaluminum, which uses the same bauxite ore name.
  Graphics:
    - New 288x288 thumbnail: the aluminium symbol and the mod's name on the colour of the aluminium plate. This also avoids the load error with the thumbnail modes of Modlist UI.
  Balancing:
    - Bauxite washing, enriched aluminium, both electrolysis recipes, aluminium plates, aluminium beams and sodium hydroxide can use productivity modules.
    - Concrete from red sludge can no longer use productivity modules, like normal concrete.
  Bugfixes:
    - The recycler no longer reverses this mod's recipes: low-density structures gave aluminium plates instead of copper plates, aluminium plates gave bauxite and carbon, concrete gave red sludge instead of iron ore, landfill gave red sludge and sand, and on Factorio 2.1 stone gave red sludge and calcite.
    - Red sludge processing now requires the Production science pack research.

Version: 1.0.1
Date: 2026-11-03
  Info:
    - Factorio 2.1 release of 1.0.0.

Version: 1.0.0
Date: 2026-11-03
  Info:
    - First stable release. The Factorio 2.0 (1.0.0) and 2.1 (1.0.1) releases are now built from one source, so 2.0 gets every change of the 2.1 line.
  Graphics:
    - New icons for salt (a heap of small rock salt cubes), sodium hydroxide and aluminium chloride (molecules like Krastorio 2's fluids), with 256 px technology icons for sodium hydroxide and aluminium catalysis.
    - The Sodium hydroxide and by-products recipe shows K2's chlorine and hydrogen at its foot.
    - Enriched aluminium on belts and on the ground shows four different pictures, like aluminium oxide.
    - The enriched aluminium mark on the Enriched aluminium electrolysis recipe now shows the whole picture instead of one corner.
    - New thumbnail.
  Balancing:
    - Factorio 2.0, now the same as on 2.1: Advanced aluminium smelting gives 10 aluminium plates instead of 20; Red sludge processing (metals) takes 1 red sludge instead of 5 and gives 1 sand instead of 2; Red sludge smelting also takes 1 calcite.
  Bugfixes:
    - The Concrete from red sludge recipe had no name.
  Optimizations:
    - Removed unused graphics and dead code; code comments are in English.

Version: 0.2.3
Date: 2026-08-28
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed the Advanced coal liquefaction and Advanced coke liquefaction recipes producing Aluminium chloride as a byproduct, which made them impossible to craft (4 fluid outputs is not supported by any machine). Both recipes were moved to the Advanced chemical plant to fit their 3-fluid-output footprint.
  Changes:
    - Sodium hydroxide and Sodium hydroxide (with byproducts) recipes can now also be crafted in the Advanced chemical plant, in addition to the electrolyzer.
    - Thanks @bluegreen1024

Version: 0.2.1
Date: 2026-07-01
  Info:
    - Factorio 2.1 support.

Version: 0.2.0
Date: 2026-05-28
  Features:
    - Added full compatibility with the "Age of Production" mod. Mineral Synthesizers now require Sodium hydroxide for their advanced synthesis recipes (Iron, Copper, Calcite, Stone, Coal).
    - Added a new "Advanced aluminium smelting" recipe for Krastorio 2's Advanced furnace.
  Changes:
    - Added Aluminium beams to the Space Age Cryogenic plant's recipe.
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed an issue where the Robotics (Flying robot frame) technology did not properly require the Aluminium processing research.

Version: 0.1.0
Date: 2026-05-27
  Changes:
    - Modified the aluminium chloride catalyst and various synthesis recipes.
    - Adjusted item weights and stack sizes for better Space Age and cargo compatibility.

Version: 0.0.3
Date: 2026-05-26
  Changes:
    - Modified the Low-density structure (LDS) recipe.
    - Added Aluminium plate to the AI core recipe.

Version: 0.0.2
Date: 2026-05-25
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed typos and minor bugs.
  Changes:
    - Restricted salt extraction to advanced plants.
    - Added English and Hungarian localizations.
