Changelog

Version: 1.0.9
Date: 2026-07-11
  Changes:
    - The change that re-allowed quality modules in Crushers has been split out into its own standalone mod, Space Casino Mod, which is now a required dependency.

Version: 1.0.8
Date: 2026-07-08
  Changes:
    - Removed the automatic upgrade of normal quality entity ghosts to uncommon quality for better compatibility. Other blueprint behavior, such as converting "normal" recipes when pasting blueprints over assembling machines, is unchanged.
  Graphics:
    - The Quality Normalizer now has its own dedicated 3x3 building texture with a 60 frame animation, it is the Scrubber building made by Hurricane046.

Version: 1.0.7
Date: 2026-07-06
  Features:
    - Normal quality entity ghosts are now automatically marked for upgrade to the uncommon quality variant when placed, so construction robots can build them with the quality items available in this world. Recipes, circuit wires and other ghost settings are preserved.
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed that pasting blueprints over existing assembling machines no longer converted "normal" recipes to quality variants in Factorio 2.1.

Version: 1.0.5
Date: 2026-07-05
  Changes:
    - Updated the mod to Factorio 2.1.
    - Space Age is now an optional but recommended dependency
    - Added the new Recycler mod (split out of Space Age in Factorio 2.1) as a required dependency
    - Crushers can use quality modules with asteroid reprocessing recipes again, restoring the Factorio 2.0 behavior.

Version: 1.0.4
Date: 2026-06-26
  Features:
    - Added the Quality Normalizer, a chest that scans its inventory and converts all stored items to normal quality. This entity was added specifically to fix a problem where quality Space platform foundations (and all other placeable tiles in the game) will not get built, since only normal quality tiles can be placed by blueprints and robots. Without it, building space platforms out of quality Space platform foundations is impossible.
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed a work-around that let assemblers produce normal quality items via the "Set recipe" circuit condition. When such a machine is fed a normal quality recipe, its circuit recipe control is switched off and the recipe set to uncommon, this still allows "Set recipe" circuit conditions to be used but only for quality recipes.

Version: 1.0.3
Date: 2026-06-20
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed a crash when attempting to hand-craft items.
  Changes:
    - Added Big Mining Drills to receive a base quality bonus also.
