Changelog

Version: 2.1.0
Date: 2026-10-08
  Major Features:
    - New "New platform" dialog: create several platforms in one go, with folder, ship icon, blueprint and start planet.
    - Ship book: a collection of up to 20 ship blueprints per savegame, managed in the manage window.
  Features:
    - New platform dialog: create up to 10 platforms at once; they are created one after another to avoid stutter.
    - New platform dialog: consecutive numbering that continues after the highest existing number (can be switched off).
    - New platform dialog: choose a target folder and a ship icon; without a choice the auto-group rules apply.
    - New platform dialog: choose a ship blueprint from the ship book; the preselected one is the default.
    - New platform dialog: live check whether the logistic network of the chosen planet holds enough material for the selected blueprint (per quality level); missing items are listed. The platform hub and the starter pack contents are not counted.
    - New platform dialog: can be switched back to the simple dialog in the settings.
    - Ship book: add blueprints from your hand, a whole blueprint book, an entry from your personal storage, or pasted text.
    - Ship book: reorder, rename and delete entries; mark one as the preselected blueprint.
    - Ship book: left-click a name to see its parts per quality level (with a "show all" toggle for long lists); right-click opens the blueprint like in the game.
    - Ship book: hand it out as a real blueprint book (names kept) and read it in again in other savegames via your personal storage.
    - Ship book: new platforms get the chosen ship blueprint placed automatically as soon as their hub exists (optional offset from the hub centre).

Version: 2.0.0
Date: 2026-10-07
  Features:
    - Folder panel in the remote view (M) that replaces the long native surface list; draggable, remembers its position, can be hidden or switched back to the original list.
    - Named, colour-coded folders with custom icons and notes; one level of subfolders (they inherit the parent colour). Create, rename, recolour, reorder and delete folders.
    - Assign platforms one by one or in bulk; new platforms are detected and either sorted automatically by keyword rules or offered an assign dialog.
    - Auto-grouping by keywords (also "Parent/Child"), optionally remembered as a rule for new platforms.
    - Create and rename platforms from the panel.
    - Bulk icon: give all ticked platforms the same icon in one step.
    - Custom order: sort mode "Custom order" with up/down arrows per platform inside its folder; the order is stored and survives switching to A-Z, Z-A or build sorting and back.
    - Favorites (star or Shift+click), "Recently visited" with clear button, search by name or location.
    - View by folder or by location; filters: all, in transit, in orbit, paused, no schedule; sort A-Z, Z-A or by build progress.
    - Build progress bar with a time-left estimate for platforms under construction, and a message when a platform is finished.
    - Warning icon and an optional chat notice for finished platforms that sit in orbit without a schedule for more than 5 minutes.
    - Manage window with all functions and a settings menu (default symbols, option to hide the recently visited list), shortcut bar button, hotkey Ctrl+Shift+P, commands /spo, /spo_show, /spo_map.
    - /spo_check: self-test that reports which game API functions work in your game.
    - Mod settings: panel width, length of the recent list, assign dialog, finished-build message, no-schedule notice, build measuring speed.
    - "Space map" button in the panel: switches to the original list (which contains the space map entry) and brings the panel back automatically when you pick another surface (or via a small back button).
    - "Select all" button per folder in the manage window to mark every platform of a folder at once (click again to unmark).
    - Folder dialog (new and edit) with name, parent, color and icon; a single "Edit" button per folder. New folders without a choice use the default folder icon.
    - Auto-group rules: match type "contains keyword" or "whole word", folder color/icon for new folders, optional platform icon applied to every matching platform (also to newly built ones), several rules per folder, rules are kept even when nothing matches yet.
    - Rules window (button "Rules" in the auto-group dialog): edit keywords, match type, target folder and icon, reorder with arrows, delete.
    - Natural sorting for A-Z / Z-A: numbers by value (2 before 10) and Roman numerals (V before IX).
    - Platform edit dialog (name, folder, icon, note) with fixed columns and shortened long names in the manage window; folder dialog also holds note and delete.
    - Option to show both lists at once (original Factorio list and the mod panel), and an option to hide location/status in the panel.
    - English and German locale.
