Version: 2.0.8
Date: 2024-12-26
  Changes:
    - Low temperatures affect the characteristics of the reactors too

    - Nerfed Thorium output and efficiency by 10% and reduced temperature penalty by 10%
    - Fuel type now affects effectivity of productivity modules a bit (half impact)
    - Added item tooltips to the guis
    - More gui polishing
    - Control rods can be controlled much faster at lower temperatures
    - The core temperature from control rods doesn't drop immediately when you change them, but they move twice as fast now 
    - This speed is affected by the control rod speed setting
    - Control rods give a flat bonus on power output now

Version: 2.0.2
Date: 2024-12-24
  Bugfixes:
    - All reactors built in 2.0.1 needed to get recreated. Ideally you won't even notice this
    - Inserters should work better now
    - The reactor can keep operating for 3 seconds without any fuel
    - The gui shows the correct quality's bonus progress now

Version: 2.0.1
Date: 2024-12-16
  Info:
    - Re-release for factorio 2.0
    - Based on RealisticReactors_2.18.14 (the last version i contributed to and am familiar with, since it got completely refactored and had several features removed afterwards)

  Changes:
    - Splitted the ECCS into 2 entities (because of new fluid system). The water flows from the fuller tank to the emptier one.
    - Added a setting to cap out the eccs strength
    - Removed fluid readouts. Just attach the wires to the tanks
    - Reactor quality increases efficiency and power by 10% per level. Fuel quality increases efficiency by 10% per level (all multiplicative)
    - Reactor quality increases max temperature by 10° per level. temperatures over 1000 will show as negative on the gui so the number doesn't get shortened
    - The reactor won't immediately explode when it reaches max temperature, but disintegrate very quickly
    - Halfed meltdown pollution
    - Changed the frontend to a furnace to support modules. Modules have no negative effects and their strength can be adjusted in the settings (quality effectivity can not be changed due to how it's implemented)

  Optimizations:
    - Added sprites for every fuel cell and used fuel cell in every quality so they get displayed correctly in the gui
    - It uses a single heat interface for heat generation now which doesn't need to be replaced every time the power output changes
    - Both reactors have 2 output slots now (in case you manually fill them with different fuel cells)
    - Everything has the prefix "RRR-" now, except signals (for *some* blueprint compatibility), gui elements and forces (radioactivity + radioactivity-strong)
    - The cooling graph is smoother now

  Bugfixes:
    - The gui won't show parameters either when the electricity is low
