Version: 3.0.1
Date: 24.12.2022
  New:
    - Gas and steam fissures: rare natural resources with rich output that ebbs and peaks.
    - Oil processing and hydrocarbons overhaul: continue cracking oil products down to natural gas and hydrogen; bitumen; ethanol.
    - Liquid fuel generator: generate power directly from flammable fluids.
    - Cryogenics: distil pure liquid oxygen, nitrogen, and helium from the atmosphere; liquefy or boil elemental gases.
    - Forestry overhaul: manage real trees as resources and protect them from pollution disasters; boost production with fertiliser.
    - Furnaces: gas furnaces run on natural gas; blast furnaces specialise in iron, steel, and metal foam production; arc furnace overhaul.
    - Geothermal exchange: use polluted steam from fissures to boil clean water.
    - Small assemblers and barrelling machines: 1x1 crafting machines that can handle a subset of small component recipes.
    - Bronze telescope: steam-powered radar; same sector scanning range as electric radar but a smaller area reveal.
    - Waterfill explosives: extend existing water tiles.
  Fixes:
    - Various minor/internal/cosmetic issues (#90-108).
    - Laser turrets and arc turrets were missing a power input limit (#104).
    - Improved various render layer and tile alignment issues (e.g. the drop points on drills).
  Changes from IR2:
    - Stainless steel, invar and cupronickel were removed.
    - Tellurium was removed; platinum metal and "electrum" crystal alloy replace it.
    - "Brass" alloy (leaded bronze) was added.
    - Sapphires, paper, and gunpowder were removed.
    - Electroplating mix items were replaced with fluids.
    - Incinerators were removed. You can opt-in to have a "bottomless pit" instead: see Map generator > Mod settings > Map.
    - Gems are no longer mined with drills.
    - Previous versions of IR set up whole even numbers of machines to compress belts perfectly (12 machines : 15 items/s) by setting recipe speeds to multiples of 0.8.
    - IR3 achieves the same result by adjusting machine speeds to the inverse ratio instead (multiples of 1.25), making recipe times easier to read and compare.
    - Pollution emissions were rebalanced.
    - Pollution spills were reworked and now have accurate equivalence to venting the same amount of fluid.
    - Flare stacks were removed (made obsolete by liquid fuel generators).
    - The "ore multiplying" bonus from crushing and washing is now only reflected in the final ingot output rather than in every processing stage.
    - Forestry buildings shrank to 3x3 but they now work with entire chunks, managing local trees (see Manifesto).
    - Bronze and electric forestries require water. Advanced forestries (chrome tier) require liquid fertiliser and carbon dioxide.
    - Tree beds allow trees to be "built" by hand, bot or blueprint. 
    - Arc furnaces were substantially reworked and now form the final stage of the completely optional ore tripling chain (see Manifesto).
    - Arc furnaces are smarter about configuring their input/output connectors to fit the recipe.
    - Arc furnaces now accept productivity and speed modules as well as efficiency. Productivity only works for mineral recipes.
    - Foundries were replaced with metal casts. These are simple unpowered 1x1 dispensers which form solid components from molten metals.
    - Rods are now castable as well as ingots, plates and gears.
    - Metal casts are crafted as a single item. These become ingot casts by default when placed manually. The component to be cast is changed using the entity toggle key.
    - The casting type of a placed cast is preserved in blueprints and copy-paste (but not pipetting, game engine issue).
    - Air compressors consume air filters and produce clean compressed air, reducing pollution in their chunk (like an air purifier).
    - Compressed air is used by blast furnaces and cryogenics plants. Otherwise it can be safely vented.
    - Blast furnaces are modified electric furnaces which require additional compressed air. They are fast, but can only produce iron and steel ingots and pure metal foams.
    - Gas furnaces are modified electric furnaces which consume natural gas instead of electricity.
    - Oil processing was completely overhauled and has five main stages with several side branches. Refineries were returned to supporting multiple recipes.
    - Natural gas is the fourth fluid product of the main cracking chain. Pure hydrogen is the fifth and final product.
    - Natural gas is also available in the world from fissures (very rarely).
    - Ethanol can be produced by fermenting wood chips or converting natural gas.
    - Lubricant is back to being produced from heavy oil without having to make any other oil byproducts.
    - Vanilla "solid fuel", which was called "petroleum coke" or "petrocoke" in IR2, is referred to as just "coke" in IR3.
    - Coke is still a byproduct of petroleum processing, but can also be made without oil via pyrolysis of coal.
    - Coke has half the fuel value of vanilla solid fuel (i.e. 150% that of coal, not 300%).
    - Coke replaces carbon powder in reduction recipes (e.g. steel, silicon) and polymerisation (plastic bars). 
    - Graphite replaces carbon powder or charcoal elsewhere (e.g. air purification, diamond pressing).
    - Graphite is still made from coke, but there is also the option of converting bitumen as well (slower and dirtier).
    - The beige gravel floor covering was removed. The dark gravel was replaced with tarmac (bitumen and gravel).
    - Sulphurous gas is now referred to as "sour gas" and is now only produced from oil processing and sour gas fissures. The sulphur chain is no longer reversible.
    - Vanilla rocket fuel is now referred to as "high octane fuel" and is an optimal mix of petroleum and ethanol; it is only used as vehicle and locomotive fuel.
    - Rocket launches require liquid hydrogen and oxygen canisters instead of rocket fuel.
    - Barrelled liquid fuels can be used in vehicles and locomotives, returning an empty barrel.
    - Vanilla nuclear fuel (the magical burner fuel, not the reactor cells) is not unlocked in IR3.
    - Battery chargers and generators are now 3x3 buildings; a higher tier of each is now also available with double the energy rating.
    - Battery generators can have their output priority raised and lowered using the entity toggle key.
    - Hydrogen cells are a new tier of renewable battery, filled with hydrogen gas in an assembler rather than being charged with electricity.
    - The laser assembler is now a specialist high energy crafting device, reserved for specific late-game recipes.
    - A conventional "advanced assembler" now fills the steel tier gap where the laser assembler used to be.
    - Laser crafting requires liquid nitrogen coolant; the nitrogen is returned as gas for venting or re-liquifying.
    - Blank circuit boards, tin solder and optical discs were all removed. Circuit ingredients were reorganised. Revolutionary (blue) electronics was overhauled.
    - Plastiglass is now referred to as "nanoglass" and is essentially graphene-coated glass.
    - Graphene is also used with electrum to make field effect nanomeshes, the computational substrate for revolutionary electronics.
    - Rocket control unit tech was disabled; rocket control units are now unlocked by rocket silo tech as IR does not use them for anything else.
    - Transmats are now 4x4 buildings.
    - Transmat GUI: a map marker toggle was added; the map label is auto-updated when the transmat name is edited or the transmat is removed.
    - Transmat GUI: clicking on the destination minimap opens your main map at that location.
    - Transmat GUI: transmat list is sorted by name order rather than distance.
    - Wooden and tin pallets are containers with 1 and 3 slots respectively, for use as small, cheap buffers without the hassle of slot barring.
    - Modules can still be programmed/formatted by hand, but not in assemblers; a 2x2 programmer machine is available for automated module production.
    - Most machine hit points were standardised, based on size and material tier.
    - Braking force technology was condensed from 7 tiers to 3 (same total bonus).
    - You can suck items out of containers to automatically fill filtered inventory slots, as a kind of early-game personal logistics; see Manifesto / per-player mod settings.
    - Added a per-player setting to display a flying text notification when research completes (default is off).
    - Added a per-player setting to nudge vehicle direction towards the nearest compass point while driving on artificial tiles (default is off).
    - Added a mod setting which can change the map colour of belts/undergrounds/splitters to indicate their tier (default is vanilla).
    - Added a suggested map generation preset.
    - Many, many other recipe and tech changes, and some new intermediate products.
    - Manifesto updates.
  Assets:
    - Graphics and sound were split out into several asset packs.
    - A bunch of new entity sprites and item icons; some older sprites and icons were improved.
    - New transmat ring sequence and intro cutscene.
  Compatibility:
    - Factorio base version 1.1.74 or above is required.
    - IR3 does not support IR2 saved games.
    - Added a remote interface for disabling the IR3 intro cutscene.
    - Added a remote interface for setting per surface whether or not fissures are randomly spawned in new chunks (default is Nauvis only).
    - Added a remote interface for setting per surface the radius from coordinate origin within which gem-bearing rocks are excluded (if enabled).
    - The IR2 remote interface which enabled the spawning of gem-bearing ores per surface now refers to gem-bearing rocks instead (default is Nauvis only).
    - Added a remote interface for setting or overwriting the spilled pollution value of a fluid.
