Version: 1.0.0

  Major Features:
    - The Catbox: feed it anything with Catlories (shown on every item's tooltip). Items are
      worth what they took to make, so a circuit is a better meal than a plate.
    - The cat eats into its stomach and digests slowly into its belly. A full belly means a
      hairball and a one-minute nap. A full stomach means it stops eating until there's room.
    - Five Catbox sizes, from a 1x1 basket to the 5x5 Golden Catbox, each with its own cat.
      Every full belly has a chance (map setting, 5% by default) for the cat to grow. It grows
      from its top-left corner and eats everything in the way, unless water, cliffs, creatures,
      vehicles or other forces' buildings block it. You get an alert and a chat message listing
      what it ate.
    - Five hairball sizes. Unravel them by hand or in an assembler for one random item: a full
      stack of materials, belts, ammo, weapons or buildings, a few rare drops, and one joke drop.
    - CatTowers: five cat-tree beacons, from the 1x1 Scratching Post to the 5x5 Cat Castle, with
      2 to 6 module slots and a range of 3 to 12 tiles. They can't be crafted, only found in
      hairballs.
    - Cat modules: Zoomies (speed), Catnip (productivity), Catnap (efficiency) and, with the
      Quality mod, Grooming (quality), in tiers 1 to 3. Vanilla bonuses with no downsides, and
      they only work inside CatTowers. Each module shows on its tower as a ball of yarn.
  Changes:
    - Startup setting for how CatTowers stack on one machine: one tower (default), vanilla
      diminishing returns, or full.
