Version: 0.2.2
Date: 2026-06-23
  Changes:
    - Added maximum_value = 100 to both reduction factor settings. Previously the settings had no upper cap, which could allow arbitrarily large values that reduce all research to 1-pack/1-second minimums without any clear in-UI indication of the effect.

Version: 0.2.1
Date: 2026-06-23
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed a hard-lock during data-final-fixes when another mod leaves behind a malformed
      technology node (e.g. a deleted prerequisite technology whose dependent nodes still
      reference it). The scaling loop now defensively skips any technology where the unit
      table is nil or not a valid table, preventing a fatal error on modpacks that heavily
      restructure the technology tree (such as Angel's, Omni, bio-oil, etc.).
