Changelog

Version: 2.1.1
Date: 2026-10-23
  Features:
    - Bundled RealisticArtilleryShellsRemotes into RAS, adding a dedicated artillery turret and targeting remote for each of the five shell types without requiring a second mod.
    - Added the ras-enable-artillery-remotes startup setting, disabled by default. When disabled, no optional turrets, remotes, or recipes are created.
  Changes:
    - Documented Space Exploration interplanetary bombardment with all five existing RAS weapon delivery cannon payloads, including packing costs, research unlocks, and targeting remotes independent of the optional RAS turret/remotes setting.
    - Preserved the former Remotes mod's prototype identifiers so existing dedicated turrets and remotes carry over when the startup setting is enabled.
    - Adapted the bundled remotes to remain craftable inventory items and the dedicated guns to accept their matching RAS shells plus standard artillery shells.

Version: 2.1.0
Date: 2026-08-03
  Changes:
    - Upgraded RAS to Factorio 2.1, targeting Factorio and Space Age 2.1.11.
    - Added compatibility minimums and load ordering for Krastorio2 2.1.2, RampantFixed 2.03.03, Space Exploration 0.7.60, and Space Exploration Postprocess 0.7.6.
    - Preserved existing RAS prototype identifiers and save compatibility without requiring a migration.
  Bugfixes:
    - Updated the Napalm and Fuel-Air recipes to use Factorio 2.1's RecipePrototype.categories field.
    - Consolidated final Krastorio2 and Space Exploration ingredient synchronization so postprocessed nuclear and antimatter recipes are retained.

Version: 1.0.2
Date: 2026-08-03
  Features:
    - Added Space Exploration weapon delivery cannon packages and artillery targeters for all five RAS shells, including Krastorio 2 Antimatter Ammo unlock handling.
  Changes:
    - Replaced projectile-heavy fuel-air, nuclear, and antimatter shockwave damage with deterministic distance-scaled rings that honor RampantFixed's 5x damage scaling.
    - Synchronized all RAS shell stack sizes with the finalized base artillery shell.
    - Updated descriptions, translations, and documentation to match finalized shell behavior and clarify that RAS does not natively add radiation or fallout mechanics.
    - Removed obsolete optional dependencies on NuclearFalloutRadiation and ArtilleryExplosiveScaling.
  Optimizations:
    - Reduced fuel-air, nuclear, and antimatter impact effect counts to improve performance.
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed invalid or ignored prototype fields affecting custom icons, sounds, camera shakes, cliff destruction, and antimatter visuals.
    - Fixed Krastorio 2 nuclear and antimatter artillery replacement cleanup and recipe visibility.
    - Namespaced RAS nuclear and antimatter explosion prototypes to prevent collisions with other mods.

Version: 1.0.1
Date: 2026-01-07
  Changes:
    - Fuel-Air: Removed flash effect. Added a camera shake effect
    - Napalm: Widened dispersal, increased burn time (180s)
    - Nuclear: Removed nuclear ground on impact, crater still forms until decal decay. Added flash effect. Added camera shake effect.
    - Antimatter: Removed nuclear ground on impact, crater still forms until decal decay. Added flash effect. Added camera shake effect. Added purpalization.
    - Made shell colors much more distinct
  Balancing:
    - Fragmentation: Increased number and range of fragmentation pellets
    - Napalm: Doubled damage minimums

Version: 1.0.0
Date: 2025-12-31
  Features:
    - Added Fragmentation Artillery Shell with fragmentation and shrapnel effects
    - Added Napalm Artillery Shell with persistent, sticky fire (minimal spread)
    - Added Fuel-Air Explosive Artillery Shell with massive overpressure shockwave and aggressive fire spread
    - Added Nuclear Artillery Shell with mushroom cloud, and thermal flash
    - Added Antimatter Artillery Shell with purple-tinted plasma effects and maximum devastation
    - All shells have Rampant compatibility with 5x damage scaling when RampantFixed is detected
    - Custom fire entities for each shell type with realistic behavior
    - Custom explosion visuals including quadrant-based mushroom clouds
    - Radiation clouds for nuclear and antimatter variants (only if (optional) Nuclear Radiation mod is present)
    - Purple-tinted effects for antimatter shells (explosions, radiation, fire, smoke, scorchmark)
  Balancing:
    - Fragmentation: High fragmenting shrapnel damage, no fire
    - Napalm: Wide dispersal, long burn time (60s), minimal spread
    - Fuel-Air: Massive instant damage, short burn time (5s), aggressive spread
    - Nuclear: Extreme damage, terrain modification, moderate fire spread
    - Antimatter: Maximum damage, largest radius, plasma fires
  Technologies:
    - Fragmentation, Napalm, and Fuel-Air shells unlock with Artillery technology
    - Nuclear and Antimatter shells unlock with Atomic Bomb technology
