Changelog

Version: 0.7.4
Date: 2026-10-25
  Graphics:
    - Updated official mod portal thumbnail with high-resolution 3D render, readable typography, and enhanced industrial factory setting.

Version: 0.7.3
Date: 2026-10-25
  Features:
    - Added map view / remote view chart fluid indicators (with toggle in mod settings): displays the fluid icon and net contents above tanks at any map zoom level.
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed crash when running in vanilla base game without the Space Age expansion ("Freezing is disabled and can not be used").
    - Thermal heating energy (300 kW for 5x5 tank, 1000 kW for 15x15 tank) is now applied dynamically during data updates only when Space Age or freezing mechanics are active.

Version: 0.7.2
Date: 2026-10-25
  Compatibility & Engine:
    - Updated engine compatibility for Factorio 2.1 (`factorio_version = "2.1"`, `"base >= 2.1.0"`), supporting the official public release.
    - Added automated Factorio JSON save-game migrations for legacy and obsolete storage tank mods.
    - Seamlessly upgrades existing maps, inventories, train wagons, and blueprints to high-definition animated tanks without losing fluid contents or circuit connections.
    - Added drop-in replacement support for `Bigger Storage Tank` (Velaanix, 5x5).
    - Added drop-in replacement support for `Super Tanks` (Styxy / Sil3ntSt0rm, 5x5).
    - Added drop-in replacement support for `BigStorageTank` (DellAquila original, 15x15).
    - Added legacy rescue migrations for 5x5 variants from `Underground Storage Tank`, `Zithorian's Extra Storage Tanks`, and `Angel's JAX-35 Pressure Tanks`.
    - Added clean dependency conflicts in `info.json` for replaced 1:1 mods.

Version: 0.7.1
Date: 2026-10-25
  Features:
    - Added thermal heating support for planet Aquilo (Space Age 2.0): 300kW heating energy for 5x5 tank, 1000kW (1MW) for 15x15 tank.
    - Added frosty frozen pipe connection covers (pipe_covers_frozen) when operating on freezing planets without heat.
    - Verified full cross-planetary compatibility with Space Age extreme fluids: Vulcanus lava and molten metals (iron/copper), high temperatures, and Aquilo sub-zero freezing mechanics.
    - Added direct percentage level signal output (signal-P = 0..100%) to circuit networks on all wire connection points.
    - Precision calibration of dynamic inspection window fluid level: visual meniscus now perfectly matches the stamped 0% - 100% gauge stencil marks on both tank tiers.
  Localizations:
    - Added complete Russian (Русский - ru) localization.
    - Added complete Simplified Chinese (简体中文 - zh-CN) localization.

Version: 0.7.0
Date: 2026-10-25
  Features:
    - Added Tier 1: 5x5 Large Storage Tank (100,000 fluid capacity, 8 pipe connections).
    - Full dynamic visual system on the 5x5 tank: animated pump, extensible roof hose, and liquid sight glass.
    - 4 corner circuit network connections with visual hints on the 5x5 tank.
    - Added startup setting `large-storage-tank-fluid-size` to customize 5x5 tank capacity.
  Balancing:
    - Large Storage Tank recipe: 4 storage tanks + 1 pump + 10 steel plates + 50 concrete (8s craft time).
    - Large Storage Tank tech: unlocked with Fluid Handling + Concrete (75 automation & logistic packs).
    - One Million Storage Tank recipe updated: 10 large storage tanks + 1 pump + 100 steel plates + 100 refined concrete.
    - One Million Storage Tank tech updated: requires Large Storage Tank tech + chemical science pack.
  Compatibility:
    - Universal Factorio 2.0+ compatibility (`base >= 2.0`).
    - 100% safe drop-in replacement for `large-storage-tank` (Valerian): existing 5x5 tanks, fluids, settings, and blueprints are kept intact.
    - Added full compatibility with Bob's mods (Bob's Logistics, Metals, Tech): dynamically scales fluid capacity with `bobmods-logistics-storagetankbase`, integrates with Bob's crafting subgroups, and protects technology prerequisites.
  Graphics:
    - Integrated high-definition in-game Before & After comparison artwork.

Version: 0.6.4
Date: 2026-10-24
  Info:
    - Renamed official mod title to "One Million Storage Tank".

    - Technology requires chemical science pack, concrete, and fluid handling (500 packs).
  Compatibility:
    - 100% safe drop-in replacement for BigStorageTank-Fork: existing tanks, fluids, and wires are kept.
