Changelog

Version: 2.1.1
Date: 25. 04. 2025
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed AAI Industry compatibility crash.
Version: 2.1.0
Date: 25. 04. 2025
  Changes:
    - Crabotron's autocannon reworked into extra high-caliber machine gun. Sorry, it likes to self-destruct by hitting the legs, compromises have to be made.
    - Adjustments to legs across the board.
  Compat:
    - Constructron-Continued - While enabled, adds Construction fission insectitron variant and moves service station recipe from 'Spidertron' to 'Fissiontronics'. Also changes Constructron sensor color to yellow, if Spidertron recolor is enabled.
    - Nuclear Science - While enabled, adds nuclear science pack cost to 'Fissiontronics'.
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed entity icons.
    - Added minimap selection icons.
    - Fixed Fission Crabotron using burner Crabotron equipment grid.
    - Moved gun positions on trons to something that actually makes sense.
Version: 2.0.1
Date: 24. 04. 2025
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed Fissiontronics color setting not working as planned.
Version: 2.0.0
Date: 24. 04. 2025
  Changes:
    - Updated to Factorio 2.0
    - Balance changes across the board to fit better with 2.0.
    - Updated -tron item icons and added tint maps.
    - Description rewrite across the board alongside some names.
    - Removed cheap spidertron remote recipe (in lieu of it no longer being a tangible item).
    - Refactored changelog file to allow game to actually read it directly.
    - Migrated internal names across the board into something coherent.
    - Fusion variants are no longer fusion but Fission now, like spidertron! Meet the green lights. Blue lights are now a legacy config option instead, because they are cooler, even if they don't make any sense now.
    - To expand on previous point, that same config option also has an option for the official fusion power color, that is being agressive reddish pink.
    - New config option to enable vanilla spidertron to share it's lights' color with the fission trons. On by default.
  Compat:
    - K2 - Equipment categories adjustments to follow spidertron grid categories.
    - SE - Equipment categories adjustments to follow spidertron grid categories.
    - K2+SE - Recipe and fuel adjustments. Fusiontrons no longer require fusion reactor and instead use RTG ones, in addition allows use of nuclear cells alongside DT cells.
    - These compat changes were scheduled for last update, which never made it to release for reasons. I don't expect these to become relevant any time soon, but they're already done so.
