Changelog

Version: 0.3.1
Date: 11. 8. 2026
  Changes:
    - (Halosos) Updated for Factorio 2.1. Version 0.3.0 declared factorio_version 2.0 and was refused at startup by 2.1; it now loads normally.
  Balance:
    - (Halosos) Set neighbour_bonus to 0 explicitly, so adjacent and separated towers behave identically. On 2.0, reactors connected by touching edges and inherited the default neighbour bonus of 1, meaning a pair of adjacent towers quietly produced double the heat for the same power draw. Factorio 2.1 no longer connects reactors by touching edges, so this is now stated in the prototype rather than left to engine defaults.
  Info:
    - Updated release of the mod by Z4NON, used under the MIT License. Original: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/ElectricHeatingTower
Version: 0.3.0
Date: 19. 6. 2025
  Balance:
    - (Malidictus) Changed max_transfer on the Heating Tower's heat buffer to 10GW (up from 10MW). Now the tower will lose heat faster than it can generate it if overtaxed.
    - (Malidictus) Added scale_energy_usage to the Heating Tower (can be tweaked in Mod Settings). Tower will stop consuming power when at max heat.
  Features:
    - (Malidictus) Added mod settings for electric power consumption (active and passive), maximum temperature, heating efficiency and energy usage scaling.
  Bugfixes:
    - (Malidictus) Fixed circuit connector graphics and shadows. Should attach to the tower properly now.
  Translation:
    - (Malidictus) The mod already had Brazillion Portugese localisation. As I don't speak pt-BR, mod settings localisations were done via auto-translate.
