b [0.17.3] Fuel value of charcoal too high?

Pi-C ☆

Why should I go through all the trouble and research to convert charcoal into coal when its fuel value is already 1.5 times as high as that of coal (6.0 MJ vs. 4.0 MJ)? :-)

Charcoal has a higher fuel value, but also causes slightly more pollution.

Oh, I see. That would make sense! I probably just didn't think of it because there is no info about the pollution value of coal readily available -- neither in the game nor in the wiki.

But I just noticed another bug on my terminal when Factorio restarted:

86.493 Error CachedChangelog.cpp:37: Failed to parse changelog for mod Bio Industries: invalid changelog file, error on line 8, duplicate Date: line.

Apparently, you forgot to change date and version when you added the entry for (what should have been) 0.17.3. Could you correct that, please, so people can read your changelog directly from the game (Mods section)?

Fixed.
Thanks.

Sorry for being such a pest, but there was another parsing error:

35.118 Error CachedChangelog.cpp:37: Failed to parse changelog for mod Bio Industries: invalid changelog file, error on line 30, missing Version: line.

The last line must be removed. Apparently, a line with only dashes signifies that a new entry starts in the next line; therefore, the parser expects another line beginning with "Version:" …
