What is this ?

A modernization of GotLag's original Flare Stack, majorly remade to be 2.0-compatible.

See the above link for detailed original description.

What changed?

• Compatible with -- requires, actually -- Factorio 2.0
• Now has the following locales: de, en, fr, ja, ru -- made with the help of DeepL Translate
• Internally, the scripting has been optimized
  • Dead field removal
  • Less object rebuilds
  • Attempt to prevent global namespace pollution
• Source code is now available, and still released under MIT License

Will this be maintained going forward?

Yes! This is basically a fork of version 2.2.10 of the original mod.

Feel free to suggest things via the Discussions tab, although since I am a beginner in Factorio modding, whether I will be able to implement your suggestions remains to be seen ... 😅
