Adds an end-game technology, gated behind promethium science, that unlocks quality-enabled variants of the asteroid reprocessing recipes. Reverses the 2.1.7 balance change that stopped crushers from accepting quality modules, but makes it something you research rather than something you get for free. Quality modules only. Productivity stays blocked on reprocessing, as it always has been.
Small changes concerning balance, gameplay, or graphics.
Version: 1.1.1
Date: 2026-08-17
Bugfixes:
- Fixed the technology icon being drawn oversized in the research progress bar and in the
lab GUI. The quality module badge now follows the vanilla convention - 64px inside the
256px icon, and floating, so it no longer counts towards the icon's bounds.
- Crushers already running an asteroid reprocessing recipe now move onto the quality
version the moment the research completes, so quality modules can go in right away
instead of only after re-selecting the recipe by hand.
- Machines built after the research from an older blueprint, a cloned entity or pasted
settings are moved onto the quality version as well.
Changes:
- The crusher now lists a single reprocessing recipe at any time. Once the research
completes the original recipes are disabled for that force, leaving only the quality
versions, so the recipe list is never two near-identical entries.
