Changelog

Version: 0.9.3
Date: 2026-04-19
  Balancing:
    - Changed (light) armour plating from hand-craftable to only assembler-2. With "earlier armor plating" active, it is craftable in an assembler-1.
    - All alternative ammo techs now require the planet specific research pack (e.g. casting needs metallurgy). Note the new setting, which rewinds this.
  Changes:
    - Removing the condition "allow-bio-explosives" from the space-fish-breeding recipe.
    - Changing order of tungsten and uranium shotgun shells.
  Compatibility:
    - Added missing dependency of [Metal and Stars], [Modular Turrets] and [AAI Industry]. How could I forgot this?
    - Revisiting [Ammo Group]: Now my subgroup of "alternative ammo" is correctly within the ammo group. Note that not all other modded ammos are there.
    - Added [atomic-land-mine] compatibility. The special nuclear landmine recipe is as the others, in the cryogenetic plant. Requires "nuclear-ammo" setting to be on.
    - Updated dependency of [OCs Base Assets] to >=0.4.1 as helper functions were updated.
    - [Modular Turrets] got a new tech for pulsing few "guns" like pulsed laser and radar.
  Minor Features:
    - Added [Any Planet Start] explicitly to the dependency and made a dedicated compat file. (Work in Progress)
    - New setting: "earlier alt ammo techs". Default: true (for legacy). If off, all ammo techs are now demand the special science pack. [Any Planet Start] has the same effect for the starter planet.
  Bugfixes:
    - Flamethrower turret was not castable.
    - Fixed a bug with [Metal and Stars] compat. Some recipes weren't correctly updated.
    - Fixing mortar cluster bomb for [ironclad-gunboad-and-mortar-turret] data_final_fixes state.

Version: 0.9.2
Date: 2026-04-14
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed a bug with the [King-Jo] compat file. Error was incorrect function calling
    - Fixed a bug with the [K2SE] compat file. Error was incorect recipe unlock.
    - Fixed a bug with the light armor "armour plating" subgroup. Hopefully.

Version: 0.9.1
Date: 2026-04-14
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed startup error with uranium shotgun shell.

Version: 0.9.0
Date: 2026-04-13
  Minor Features:
    - Option: Light and/or heavy armor get a micro or tiny equipment grid, respectively. (Default: Heavy. Grid sizes: heavy armor 4x3, light armor 2x3)
    - Option: Earlier armor plating. It moves the armor plating techs before the modular armor, so you can get them earlier. (Default: off)
    - Option: Earlier portable solar panels. As a energy source is needed, this is the cheapest way to get it. (Default: off). I reccomend some burner-generator equipment mod.
    - [scattergun turret] Added radar and pulse laser "gun"s to the special recipes. No special tech required.
  Balancing:
    - For armour plating technologies: Switched the double cost from production science to utility science.
    - Added electronics as prerequisite for the light armor plating tech, as it is needed for the casting recipe.
    - Increased heavy armor grid size from 2x3 to 4x3, to be a bit closer to the car and the next tier (modular armor has 5x5) and give room for the light armor grid.
    - Removed carbon cost from the heavy armor plating.
    - Removing utility and production science pack from the heavy armor plating tech and added power armor as prerequisite.
    - The reactive armor plating is now only be placable in vehicles, as it was inteded from the start.
  Changes:
    - Set this mod properly to be a [Space Age] mod, which it was from the start.
    - Removed the reduction of steel cost for the tungsten rounds ammo if tungsten steel ammo option is disabled.
    - Separated heavy artillery shell crafting recipes from the casting explosive ammo setting. You now can craft them even if you disable the casting recipe.
    - Internally set the grid definitions to be local variables to less spamming the global namespace.
    - Internally reframing the grid definitions and code.
    - Increased car grid size from 4x4 to 6x4, to be in line with other mods like [kry-vehicle-grids].
    - [ironclad-gunboat-and-mortar-turret] Added military-3 for the normal casting mortar bomb tech, and military-4 for casting clusterbomb tech. The clusterbomb requres military-4.
    - [scattergun turret] Switched backline mount from foundry to EMplant as it has more of these coponents. (breaking change)
  Graphics:
    - Changed the icon for all armor plating to something independent.
    - Added tint for tungsten and uranium shotgun pelets to make them slightly more distinguishable.
    - Removed overlayer from light and heavy armor plating tech icon.
  Compatibility:
    - Updated dependency of [OCs Base Assets] to >=0.4.0 as helper functions were updated. (makes it incompatible with older versions)
    - Made compats for [aai-vehicles-ironclad], [Ironclad gunboat and mortar turret], and [stratetic mortar ammo] independent of each other.
    - Removed compatibility for [UraniumShotgunShell], as it is integrated into this mod.
  Bugfixes:
    - Added missing localisation for [Uranium Artillery Shell] compatibility.
    - Heavy artillery shells were unable to unlocked if "casting-explosive-ammo-tech" was disabled, now fixed. The casting recipe is still not added in this case. (thanks to GingerBeard118 for reporting)
    - Hopefully fixing the startup crashes regarding missing ammo recipes.
    - [aai-vehicles-ironclad] Fixed that the ironclad casting recipe was not added when the setting was on.
    - [K2SO] Now support K2S0>0.5.0 which changed some internal names breaking my compat file. This should fix some startup crashes.
    - [strategic-mortar-turret] Fixed that the cryo-mortar-light-nuclear-ammo was unable to be unlocked.
    - [strategic-mortar-turret] Added missing localisations.
    - [strategic-mortar-turret] Fixed issues if some of the mortar ammo is not enabled by its mod settings.
    - [strategic-mortar-turret] Fixed some issues if [Ironclad gunboat and mortar turret] is not present.
