Version: 1.1.0
Date: 2026-10-09
  Info:
    - Published as Nexus-Threat-Updated, a fork of Nexus-Threat 1.0.6 by Karu_Kiruna
  Features:
    - Map settings for the storms: instability half-life, lightning chance per instability, lightning attempts per tick
    - Remote interface nexus-threat: other mods can scale the lightning chances and read the threat state
    - Support Factorio 2.1
  Optimizations:
    - The shield is computed every 10 ticks over the stabilizers only, instead of every tick over every machine on Nexus
  Bugfixes:
    - A save that switches from Nexus-Threat keeps the tier of its shield stabilizers
    - Debug commands (reset_nexus, sturm_start, sturm_start_timer, sturm_stop, set_nexus, check_storage, nexus-refresh) are for admins only
    - The shield regeneration setting had no effect; the shield now regenerates outside storms

Version: 1.0.4

  Changes:
    - Modifies the function of the “Shield Stabilizer” module from “Nexus-Threat” so that it can now be toggled in stages
      via the Nexus GUI (power consumption and production), removes the old signal control:::, and replaces it
      with two completely new signals for instability and shield to be inserted into a Combinator.
      !!!!!!!!!Breaking Change!!!!!!!!! You need to replace all the old shild stabilizers so that the new feature works.
