Version: 1.3.1
Date: 2025-12-21
  Mod Compatibility:
    - Added support for Lignumis mod - unlocks Vegetation Planner early

Version: 1.3.0
Date: 2025-12-18
  Major Features:
    - Added Vegetation Planner - a manual selection tool for planning vegetation in specific areas
    - Accessible via shortcut bar or ALT+V hotkey after researching "Soil Analysis" technology
    - Independent filter configuration separate from roboport settings
    - Alt-select to clear vegetation ghosts from selected areas
  Improvements:
    - Improved terrain compatibility checks for more accurate plant placement

Version: 1.2.3
Date: 2025-12-16
  Performance:
    - Significantly improved seeding performance by pre-computing seed metadata once instead of on every tile check
    - Surface compatibility now checked once per seed type instead of repeatedly for each position
    - Collision check budget now properly accounts for wiggle attempts (prevents performance spikes in dense mode)
    - Optimized plant size sorting to use cached data instead of repeated prototype lookups
  Improvements:
    - Filter dropdowns now intelligently show only planet-compatible seeds (e.g., Gleba plants only appear on Gleba)
    - Quality seeds now require explicit whitelist configuration - unfiltered mode uses normal quality only
  Changes:
    - Dense mode seeding is now more CPU-friendly with proper collision check budgeting

Version: 1.2.2
Date: 2025-12-15
  Major Features:
    - Added startup setting 'Seed in dense grid' for planting seeds on every tile instead of every 3rd tile
    - Dense mode enables much tighter plant packing for higher crop density
    - Added 'agro-seed-info' console command to inspect plant properties (collision boxes, tile requirements, etc.)
  Changes:
    - Dense mode requires game restart to take effect (startup setting)
    - Performance impact: Dense seeding increases collision checks - use whitelist filters to limit load
  Info:
    - Dense mode recommended only with whitelist filters to control which plants are seeded
    - See mod description for performance tuning guidance

Version: 1.2.1
Date: 2025-12-10
  Changes:
    - Automatic detection of ALL seed items - no configuration needed
    - Removed 'agricultural-roboport-additional-seeds' startup setting (no longer necessary)
    - Prototype scanning now checks every data.raw category for items with plant_result
    - Supports any modded agricultural item regardless of naming convention or item category
  Info:
    - No user action required - mod automatically detects all seeds
    - Existing saves will work seamlessly (virtual seed info rebuilds automatically)
    - Better mod compatibility - works with any mod adding plantable items

Version: 1.2.0
Date: 2025-12-09
  Major Features:
    - Added support for non-standard seed items from other mods (e.g., boompuff-spore from Boompuff Agriculture)
    - Added startup setting 'agricultural-roboport-additional-seeds' to specify custom seed items by name
    - Virtual seed entities now created for items with plant_result in multiple categories (item, capsule, ammo, tool)
    - Custom seeds automatically appear in filter dropdowns and work with all roboport features
  Changes:
    - Blacklist filter mode now works at item level (quality-agnostic) - blocking an item blocks all qualities
    - Whitelist filter mode continues to support per-quality filtering
    - UI dynamically switches between item and item-with-quality selectors based on filter mode
    - Virtual seed info now rebuilt on every game load and mod configuration change for consistency
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed filter UI crashes when switching between whitelist and blacklist modes
    - Fixed seeding logic to use prototype introspection instead of string pattern matching
    - Fixed virtual seed info indexing to use actual seed item names
  Compatibility:
    - Now compatible with mods adding custom agricultural items (e.g., Boompuff Agriculture)
    - Supports any item with plant_result regardless of naming convention

Version: 1.1.3
Date: 2025-12-06

Version: 1.1.1
Date: 2025-12-05
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed quality mutation not properly extracting quality name from LuaQualityPrototype objects
    - Fixed manual planting not preserving quality from seeds (now uses consumed_items data)
  Changes:
    - Added "Chance of quality improvement" setting (0-100%, default 10%) to control upgrade vs downgrade probability for quality mutations
    - Increased maximum quality mutation multiplier from 100 to 200

Version: 1.1.0
