Changelog

Version: 1.2.2
Date: 26. 02. 2020
  Major Features:
    - Updated for Factorio 0.18.x
  Changes:
    - Quartz ore patch generation does now use the 0.17.50 logic
Version: 1.2.1
Date: 31. 05. 2019
  Changes:
    - Updated quartz icon
    - Changed quartz ore resource index to "51"
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed potential bug causing silicon processing not being added as a prerequisite for solar energy
Version: 1.2.0
Date: 03. 03. 2019
  Major Features:
    - Updated for Factorio 0.17.x
    - Added quartz ore patches (optional, can be disabled in mod settings )
  Balancing:
    - Changed smelting time for silicon plate to 20 sec
  Changes:

Version: 1.1.3
Date: 27. 12. 2017
  Major Features:
    - Updated for Factorio version 0.16.x
  Localisation:
    - Added mod description in german locale

Version: 1.1.2
Date: 25. 04. 2017
  Major Features:
    - Updated for Factorio version 0.15.x
  Features:
    - Added support for expensive recipes: In expensive recipe mode, advanced circuits now require 2 wafers instead of 1 and processing units will need 10 wafers instead of 8. Water demand for quartz is doubled in expensive mode (70 instead of 35).
  Balancing:
    - Crafting time for wafer is now decreased from 15 to 10 and for solar cells from 8 to 6 to match Factorios new crafting time for circuits.
Version: 1.1.1
Date: 21. 04. 2017
  Changes:
    - All changes of vanilla recipes and techs are now done dynamically. This will prevent problems with other mods that change the affected vanilla recipes as well.
    - Increased stack size for wafers and solar cells to 100 units
  Balancing:
    - Reduced amount of water needed for quartz by 30%
Version: 1.1.0
