Changelog

Version: 0.3.4
Date: 2026-02-14-wip
  Bugfixes:
    - Added another safety check for result_amount in the recipe generator to prevent crashes when it's nil, zero or invalid.
  Changes:
    - Batch generator now logs both input and output (sucesses and failures) list as one recipe per line to make it more readable.
    - Removed old function "replace_multiple_recipes". Use the new, more nuanced functions instead.
    - Both "add_recipe_unlocks" and "remove_recipe_unlocks" now log more precisely when something goes wrong.
    - Both "add_prerequisites" and "remove_prerequisites" now log more precisely when something goes wrong.
    - Batch generator now only handles recipe names, while the single recipe generator handles the full recipe table.
    - Set for all generated recipes "allow_decomposition" to false to prevent them from being recycled in the recycler. This should avoid weird edge cases and very long recycling times.
  Minor Features:
    - New mod setting: debug mode (default: true) so that bugs are easier to fix. Probably will be set to false later.

Version: 0.3.3
Date: 2026-02-10
  Minor Features:
    - Added basic blacklists and other rules for "cryogenics" category to make it ready for use.
    - Added cryo-plant overlay for technologies.
    - Added helper functions for adding and removing specific amount of science packs to a tech.
    - EXPERMIMENTAL & unfinished: Automated localisations for generated recipes. Currently only EN and DE are supported (as for my other mods using it).
  Changes:
    - Reduced defalt value of "energy reduction power" setting (aka crafting time power) from 0.5 to 0.25 which makes everything a bit cheaper. Change it manually if needed.
    - Changed remove_recipe_unlocks() to accept a mapping table instead of tech and recipe_list. It's now symmetric to add_recipe_unlocks().
    - Changed add_prerequisites() to accept a mapping table instead of tech and table of techs. It's now symmetric to the above.
    - Added remove_prerequisites(), also symmetric to the above.
    - Renamed helper fuction to change_recipes_subgroups()
