Changelog

Version: 0.1.4
Date: 2026-10-04
  Balancing:
    - The Phosphorus retort route now saves 50% of the reducing agent: 2 caesium carbonate and 1 magnesium (coal without Magnesium) make 2 reduction mixtures, each distilled into 1 caesium metal.
    - Mixing takes 4 seconds per pair; distillation remains 6 seconds per metal. Carbonate and optional packaging costs per metal are unchanged, and preparation cannot use productivity.
    - The direct chemical-plant recipe and blue-science unlock are unchanged. Existing mixture stock and retort setups continue working.

Version: 0.1.3
Date: 2026-10-04
  Features:
    - Added required Caesium parts to existing equipment recipes: 1 photocathode per laser turret or personal laser defense, 1 scintillator per centrifuge, 2 scintillators per nuclear reactor, and 1 atomic clock per beacon.
    - These equipment recipes require the matching Caesium research without adding later science packs. Overhaul integrations skip recipes where this would raise their science tier or create a research cycle.
  Graphics:
    - Enlarged survey and magnetometer stations to a radar-sized 3x3 footprint, with graphics and shadows scaled up by 50%.
    - Moved the survey progress label below the larger station. Both station tiers keep matching footprints for upgrades.
  Changes:
    - X-ray ore sorters now require two fast inserters for material handling, inheriting their material costs from the installed pack. Caesium processing requires their research; hand sorting remains optional.
    - Reworked Phosphorus retort distillation: prepare a reduction mixture in a chemical plant (2 seconds), then distil it in the retort (6 seconds). Uses the normal metal recipe's reductant and packaging materials instead of converting carbonate for free. Preparation cannot multiply output with productivity.
    - Clarified survey labels: surveyed area is shared between overlapping stations, while discoveries are counted per station.
    - Pegmatite discovery messages now stand out with an ore icon, highlighted text and a notification sound, alongside the clickable map location and ore amount. Player notification and sound preferences are respected.
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed the map-tag API call so newly discovered deposits receive their map markers, including after a chunk finishes charting.

Version: 0.1.2
Date: 2026-10-03
  Changes:
    - Survey stations now upgrade a radar: 1 radar, 5 steel plates and 5 electronic circuits, crafted in 10 seconds.
    - Geological survey now requires radar and steel processing research. Overhaul packs also inherit the research and science packs needed to make the station's ingredients.

Version: 0.1.1
Date: 2026-09-30
  Compatibility:
    - With Manganese (trikop), the X-ray ore sorter is lined with mangalloy instead of steel. Caesium processing then also needs the Mangalloy research (30 red science, which railway already needs).

Version: 0.1.0
Date: 2026-09-30
  Major Features:
    - Hidden pegmatite ore: never placed by map generation, found by survey stations, magnetometer stations, seismic charges, seismic artillery shells, survey satellites and, with Space Age, the orbital survey array. Every player on the same map finds the same patches.
    - The X-ray ore sorter sorts pollucite out of pegmatite ore at the mine; about 100 pegmatite ore make one caesium.
    - Caesium catalysts, photocathodes, scintillators, atomic clocks and atom traps, required only in machines researched after the matching Caesium research.
    - Optional catalysed sulfuric acid: 60 acid instead of 50 at half the pollution.
    - Formate brine and well treatment stations bring tired infinite oil and gas wells back toward full yield.
    - Space Age: ion thrusters, the orbital survey array, caesium in quantum processors and cryogenic science, and caesium from Aquilo's lithium brine.
  Compatibility:
    - BZ, Timeken, Planetfall, Krastorio 2, Space Exploration and AAI Signal Transmission: real-process materials and host recipes per pack.
    - Links to Cadmium, Tellurium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Gallium and Neodymium.
