Version: 2.1.2
Date: 2026-09-08
  Features:
    - Artifacts are noticed whatever dropped them, rather than only what a unit dropped,
      so the artifacts that Alien Space Science and Schall Alien Loot hang on nests and
      worms are found too
    - What hatches belongs to the world the artifact is lying on. A Nauvis biter can no
      longer come out of an artifact on Gleba, and nothing hatches at all on a planet
      with no enemies of its own
    - A nest's artifact hatches into one of that nest's brood rather than into another
      nest
    - Whatever hatches comes out newly born where the game has such a form, so an
      artifact from a pentapod gives a premature wriggler
Version: 2.1.1
Date: 2026-09-08
  Other:
    - Add a test suite
Version: 2.1.0
Date: 2026-09-08
  Other:
    - Update for Factorio 2.1
  Changes:
    - What hatches is now chosen from what the enemy can actually spawn on that surface.
      Evolution belongs to a planet in 2.0, so an egg on one world no longer hatches
      according to how far along the enemies are on another
