Changelog

Version: 0.4.0
Date: 2026-07-14
  Features:
    - Factorio 2.1 compatibility
    - Opening any Nixie Tube in a row now opens the configuration of its rightmost tube

    - The signal can now be configured on Nixie Tube ghosts
    - Hovering any Nixie Tube in a row now shows the configured signal in its tooltip
  Gui:

  Translation:
    - Added German, Dutch, Polish and Russian translations for the new GUI strings
  Optimizations:
    - Digits are now only redrawn when the displayed value actually changes, significantly reducing script time for displays showing stable values
    - The selected signal is now cached instead of being re-read from the circuit condition every update
    - Nixie Tubes on surfaces nobody is looking at no longer consume the update budget

    - The hidden digit sprites no longer appear in Factoriopedia and can no longer be damaged
  Scripting:

    - Fixed leftover floating digits and frozen displays when a Nixie Tube is removed by another mod or by deleting a surface
    - Cloned Nixie Tubes now work instead of staying blank
    - Overflow notation now accounts for the minus sign, so negative values no longer show as a positive number (e.g. -12 on two tubes shows -9 instead of 99)
