Changelog

Version: 0.0.32
Date: 02.08.2026
  Features:
    - Added the "Anti-Duplication Bureau" to the player creation lifecycle. Characters will no
      longer attempt to wear two pairs of heavy or weak power armor trousers simultaneously.
  Changes:
    - Custom Kit settings now strictly mind their own business. Pre-defined kits will no longer
      sneakily drop extra armor into your backpack when you explicitly asked for an independent,
      bespoke tailor-made loadout.
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed a critical reality-bending paradox where selecting "1 Armor" in the Mod Settings menu
      somehow invoked the ancient duplicator spirits, breaking the laws of thermodynamic conservation
      and cloning military gear out of thin air.
    - Resolving Speed Run: Defeated the legendary 2x Armor Duplication bug in an unprecedented,
      near-instantaneous record time from the initial distress beacon broadcast to a fully patched
      production line deploy. Engineers on Nauvis report that the patch arrived faster than a
      high-tier locomotive rocket train traveling on high-speed rail tracks.

Version: 0.0.31
Date: 30.07.2026
  Features:
    - Implemented a Telepathic Custom Kit Scanner: The control loop now automatically strips setting prefixes to not read my mind. Adding an item to settings.lua instantly teaches control.lua how to spawn it, saving me from typing things twice.
    - Added HUD Quantum Whiplash: Modifying your quickbar assignments mid-game now forces the HUD shortcut pages to cycle instantly behind the scenes, refreshing your screen layout before you can even exit the menu.
  Bugfixes:
    - Connecting clients will no longer trigger panic attacks, loop downloads, or host disconnect rage.
    - Exorcised the Ghost Rows: Fixed a silent duplicate-string loop crash that was rendering dropdown option rows completely empty and invisible. You can actually see and click on items now.
    - Overthrew the Runic Tyranny: Restored standard QuickSlot keys to fully repair the local English folder integration, permanently banishing the wall of terrifying "Unknown Key" grayed-out menus.
    - Pacified the Space Age Expansion: Convinced the load sequence that planetary science packs are normal inventory items, not ethereal developer "tools." The mod now successfully waits for space assets to exist before crashing the startup timeline.
    - Reprimanded the Engine Validator: Stripped invalid 'allow_blank' array fields from the prototype parser. Factorio will no longer refuse to boot because a dropdown couldn't handle an existential crisis over empty space.
  Info:
    - Tested extensively on Fedora 44 Linux: Successfully authenticated that you cannot play split-screen multiplayer co-op with your own ghost profile unless you explicitly log out and clone yourself into an offline Fedora testing client.
