Changelog

Version: 1.2.0
Date: 2026-08-11
  Major Features:
    - Now built for Factorio 2.1.
  New Features:
    - Added Nulla and Rabbasca Underground.
    - Added the fifth Hephaestus warp aperture, placed clear of the asteroid belt.
    - PlanetsLib is now a recommended dependency, so it is enabled by default.
      Without it, orbit repositioning silently does nothing.
  Bugfixes:
    - Removed the deprecated Castra and Tenebris dependencies. Castra Prime and
      Tenebris Prime are the maintained mods and were already supported.
    - Fixed the Akularis dependency pointing at a mod id that no longer exists.
    - Fixed the Red Star sprite staying behind when the system was moved. Better
      StarMap Background draws the visible ring as a separate location that copied
      the star's old orbit instead of following it; it is now attached to the star.
    - Fixed the Bellicos and Aegis system. Its centre is a pulsar that was never
      registered, so its locations could not be placed, and Near Bellicos Orbit was
      pushed to 40 units from the pulsar when it actually orbits at 3.
    - Fixed the Calidus stargate of Bellicos overlapping Volantus.
  Changes:
    - Moved the Bellicos and Aegis system to the west side of the starmap.
    - Moved the Red Star system closer in, to match Nexuz and Dea Dia.
    - Removed the connection length normalizer. Space route lengths are now left
      exactly as their own mods declare them, instead of being rounded to 10000 km.
      This restores vanilla's inner routes to 15000 km.
    - Removed PlanetsLib: Tiers support, as that mod is deprecated. Placement is
      decided by angle and radius alone.
