    - Improved compatibility cleanup to avoid invalid technology unlock references.
    - Improved Foundry module slot handling so the startup setting applies correctly.
    - Improved Offshore Dump naming polish for Molten Core fluids.
    - Improved internal file structure for compatibility additions.
    - Kept Space Age molten iron and molten copper handling untouched.
