Changelog

Version: 0.2.0
Date: 2026.08.24
  Compatibility:
    - Made Space Age an optional dependency, so the mod now loads on base Factorio 2.1. The ladder tops out at the reinforced tier without it, gated on production and utility science instead of the Space Age packs.
    - Stopped clobbering RampantFixed's non-freezing fluid line. Its pipes previously inherited this mod's upgrade chain, surface restrictions, and pipeline extent, so an upgrade planner could silently convert freeze-immune pipes into freezing ones. Their pipes and pipe-to-grounds now keep the iron-tier pipeline extent they have without this mod installed.
  Changes:
    - Renamed the heat-resistant tier to calcite-lined, for pipes, pipe-to-grounds, pumps, and offshore pumps. The tier never carried heat resistance; it is a steel component lined with calcite, unlocked by calcite processing, and its purpose is satisfying the Vulcanus surface condition. Existing saves migrate automatically.
    - Added a calcite-lined offshore pump, so lava can be extracted on Vulcanus before the tungsten tier. The Vulcanus branch previously had no offshore pump below tungsten.
    - Substituted refined concrete and low-density structure for tungsten plate and carbon fiber in the reinforced tier when Space Age is absent.
    - Gave each fluid role its own crafting menu row: pipes and pipe-to-grounds together, pumps, and offshore pumps, with planet-restricted variants in a secondary row beneath the progression they branch from.
  Bugfixes:
    - Made the foundation and high-pressure foundation tiers placeable on every surface. They inherited a pressure ceiling from the vanilla prototypes they copy, so the terminal tier covered fewer surfaces than the reinforced tier below it and could not be placed on Vulcanus at all.
    - Removed a declared cold resistance from the reinforced and foundation tiers. No cold damage type exists in Factorio, so the entry was silently discarded and the tiers never had the property their configuration claimed.
    - Corrected the reinforced pipe and pump technology descriptions, which described the tier as carbon-fiber reinforced. Without Space Age the recipes substitute refined concrete and low-density structure, and carbon fiber cannot be obtained at all, so the descriptions now name what the tier does rather than what it is made of.

Version: 0.1.5
Date: 2026.08.03
  Changes:
    - Fixed release automation failing to authenticate with the private source repository during publishing, which had prevented 0.1.4 from actually reaching any release destination.

Version: 0.1.4
Date: 2026.08.03
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed Rampant Arsenal Fork compatibility cleanup leaving a dangling recipe-unlock reference on the recycling technology after removing the reinforced pipe items, which could fail to load when Rampant Arsenal Fork and the recycler feature are both present.

Version: 0.1.3
Date: 2026.07.09
  Changes:
    - Updated the mod for Factorio 2.1 compatibility.
    - Migrated fluid recipe categories to the Factorio 2.1 recipe schema.

Version: 0.1.2
Date: 2026.07.09
  Changes:
    - Updated the mod thumbnail icon.
    - Marked Advanced Fluid Handling as incompatible.
    - Added Discord release changelog announcement automation.

Version: 0.1.1
Date: 2026.07.08
  Changes:
    - Included the thumbnail icon in release packages.
    - Added GitHub release publication for public mirror downloads.

Version: 0.1.0
Date: 2026.07.08
  Changes:
    - Prepared Advanced Fluid Infrastructure for its first public release package.
    - Added staged pipe, pipe-to-ground, pump, offshore pump, and pipeline extent progression.
    - Added Space Age branches for regular surfaces, space platforms, Vulcanus, and foundation infrastructure.
    - Added production-machine fluidbox extent patches and optional Rampant Arsenal compatibility cleanup.
