Changelog

Version: 0.3.10
Date: 2026-11-08
  Changes:
    - Junk Shells now stay inside the Junk Cannon. Inserters and loaders can't take them out,
      shells taken out by hand go back into the cannon, and mining a cannon deletes its shells
      instead of giving them to the player or robot.
    - Junk Shells left on the ground or in player inventories by older versions are removed.
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed the cannon head disappearing when mining a Junk Cannon failed because the inventory
      was full.

Version: 0.3.7
Date: 2026-11-08

      or belt keep coal in the burner and use the other items as junk.

    - Shots now have a muzzle flash and hit sparks.
    - Works on Space Age space platforms (platform build and mine events).

    - Mining a Junk Cannon returns the shell chambered in the cannon.
    - Inserters can no longer put shells straight into the hidden cannon.
    - Junk recipes now cover every item type the game knows, and skip parameter items.

  Bugfixes:
    - Updated to Factorio 2.1 APIs: crafter_input/crafter_output inventories, recipe categories,
      and disabled_by_script.
