Changelog

Version: 1.1.2
Date: 01-11-2026
  Features:
    - Research productivity now preempts other non-pinned research whenever its science packs are available and returns to the displaced technology when its supply runs dry.
    - Science pack stock counts across labs, logistic networks, surfaces, space platform hubs, and cargo pods now weight higher-quality packs by their science capacity multiplier (1x normal, 2x uncommon, 3x rare, 4x epic, 6x legendary).
  Balancing:
    - Infinite technology importance now decays with level and cheap-technology cost bonuses are bounded by importance, so deep low-value infinite levels no longer outrank shallow high-value research.
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed Factorio 2.1 leveled technology names (such as mining-productivity-3, worker-robots-speed-7, follower-robot-count-5, and artillery-shell-speed) not matching their configured weights and level caps.
    - Fixed the "Allow instant plan-demand override" and "Pause after current research" checkboxes in the Decision Console not toggling their settings when clicked.
Version: 1.1.1
Date: 29-10-2026
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed a crash when other mods complete research while creating a new force, including Dynamic Rain with Even Distribution.
    - Research queued during force creation is retained after initialization.
Version: 1.1.0
Date: 22-10-2026
  Changes:
    - Removed the lab supply cluster requirement: research selection is now always force-wide, so science packs spread across different lab networks count as available.
    - Removed the per-technology repeat-policy and level-target buttons from technology rows; saved and imported repeat rules still apply.
    - In-transit science totals now refresh as a bounded resumable job.
  Info:
    - Lab supply groups remain in the Research Health diagnostics and affected-lab inspection.
    - Saved and imported cluster-mode settings are retired automatically.
    - Portal versioning continues from the 1.0.0 portal release; pre-portal internal version numbers are retired.
Version: 1.0.0
Date: 14-10-2026
  Features:
    - Research control center with strategy profiles and planning pause.
    - Per-science priorities, hysteresis thresholds, flow forecasts and starvation prediction.
    - Surface and lab-supply-cluster-aware science availability.
    - Queue science budgets, deficits, limiting-science reporting and completion estimates.
    - Per-technology repeat rules and maximum repeat levels.
    - Named plan presets and import/export strings.
    - Manual trigger objectives, multiplayer administrator locking and plan history.
    - Native time-sliced parallel research and optional Parallel Research integration mode.
    - Performance mode and German, French and Portuguese translations.
  Compatibility:
    - Runs on Factorio 2.1.
