Changelog

Version: 1.13.5
Date: 13.08.2026
  Changes:
    - Molten Plastic 1.1.4 adds the organotins from BZ Tin to its plastic recipes itself, so that
      ingredient is no longer added here. Molten plastic and plasma molten plastic still get their
      petroleum gas reduced from 200 to 150 to account for the organotins.
    - Molten Plastic is now required in version 1.1.4 or newer.

Version: 1.13.4
Date: 08.08.2026
  Bugfixes:
    - EM Holmium Charging: The crushing extra yield for Holmium powder now matches the setting
      again. That mod raises the recipe result from 1 to 8, where the extra yield could only add a
      chance for one single additional item, so it was worth 3-6% instead of the configured
      25%/50%. The result is now rolled as a range (8-12 at 25%, 8-16 at 50%), keeping the yield
      random while restoring the intended average. This also covers the 50% setting, which
      previously kept Crushing Industry's own, equally undersized bonus.
    - Separate ore techs: Crushed iron ore and Holmium powder are no longer unlocked by Concrete
      and Holmium processing on top of their own tech. Crushing Industry adds those unlocks in a
      later data stage than the one they were removed in, so the removals are now repeated there.
      The same applies to Lithium dust and Lithium processing with Scrap Industry 0.8.0 or newer.

Version: 1.13.3
Date: 15.07.2026
  Bugfixes:
    - Worked around a Crushing Industry 0.6.2 bug that made the game fail to load with "fluid with
      name 'concrete-mix' does not exist" when its Concrete mix setting is disabled: Crushing
      Industry assigns the concrete-mix fluid to the concrete recipe outside of that setting's
      guard. The concrete recipe is now restored when this happens.

Version: 1.13.2
Date: 15.07.2026
  Bugfixes:
    - BZ Tin + K2SO: Fixed crash on load ("module Krastorio2-spaced-out/prototypes/libraries/matter
      not found"). Krastorio2 Spaced Out now depends on the Krastorio2 base mod again, where the
      matter library lives, so the require path was corrected from __Krastorio2-spaced-out__ to
      __Krastorio2__/prototypes/libraries/matter. Thanks to A1denSss for reporting!
    - Hardened optional-mod compatibility: direct prototype access in the compat files is now
      guarded (item/recipe/tech existence checks, deepcopy source checks), so a renamed, moved or
      removed prototype in an optional mod (K2SO, BZ ores, AAI, ...) degrades to a no-op instead of
      crashing the game on load.

Version: 1.13.1
Date: 15.07.2026
  Bugfixes:
    - Restored the molten productivity research bonus for iron/copper. Crushing Industry still
      registers it under the pre-2.1 recipe names (molten-iron/molten-copper), which no longer
      exist, so the mod now adds the effect for iron-ore-melting/copper-ore-melting itself.
    - Crushing Industry 0.6.1 added a fourth crushed-ore smelting productivity tech
      (crushed-ore-smelting-productivity-4, 2 extra levels). The mod now applies its productivity
      value, added recipes and removals to tech 4 as well, and removes it too when "Remove tech"
      is selected (avoids a dangling prerequisite).

Version: 1.13.0
Date: 15.07.2026
  Compatibility:
    - Updated for Factorio 2.1
  Bugfixes:
    - Some new molten plastic recipes no longer require K2SO.

Version: 1.12.1
Date: 26.05.2026
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed "Plastic from Cellulose" (plastic-from-wood) recipe from Planet Muluna not replacing
      Crushed Coal with Cellulose when "Restore vanilla ingredient count" is enabled (default).
      The recipe was left with 1 Crushed Coal instead of Cellulose. Thanks to Graklinghunter for
      the bug report

Version: 1.12.0
Date: 26.05.2026
  Features:
    - Mod compat with Alloy Smelting: When the Crushed Coal tech is enabled, the 
      “Coke from Crushed Coal” recipe is moved to the new Coal Processing tech. Thanks to NOiZE for 
      the suggestion
    - Added a setting that restores the fuel value of crushed coal to vanilla 4MJ instead of 3.2MJ. 
      Thanks to NOiZE for the suggestion

Version: 1.11.0
Date: 21.05.2026
  Compatibility:
    - Molten Plastic + K2SO: Removed duplicate electronic-components-with-lithium moulding recipe;
      Molten Plastic 1.0.40 now provides kr-electronic-components-with-lithium-molten-plastic 
      directly
    - Bumped minimum required version for Molten Plastic to 1.0.40
  Changes:
    - Migration: Renamed recipe electronic-components-with-lithium-molten-plastic to
      kr-electronic-components-with-lithium-molten-plastic in existing save games

Version: 1.10.0
Date: 20.05.2026
  Compatibility:
    - Molten Plastic + K2SO: Removed redundant removal of advanced-circuit-molten-plastic recipe,
      as Molten Plastic 1.0.38 now handles this itself
    - Molten Plastic + K2SO: Removed duplicate electronic-components moulding recipe; Molten 
      Plastic now provides kr-electronic-components-molten-plastic directly
    - Bumped minimum required version for Molten Plastic to 1.0.39
  Changes:
    - Migration: Renamed recipe electronic-components-molten-plastic to 
      kr-electronic-components-molten-plastic in existing save games (recipe was previously added 
      by this mod, now owned by Molten Plastic)

Version: 1.9.0
Date: 17.05.2026
  Compatibility:
    - Added additional crash protection for Molten Plastic and Plasma Industries when a K2SO 
      support was released by Powerscooter
    - Removed optional dependency for mini-machines, as Kryzeth has updated his mod so that it no 
      longer causes loading errors

Version: 1.8.0
Date: 10.05.2026
  Features:
    - EM Holmium Charging Mod Compat

Version: 1.7.2
Date: 19.04.2026
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed crash with mini-machines and Bob's Assembly: added mini-machines as optional dependency
      so crushing-industry-tweaks loads after it, preventing a load order conflict where furnace-to-
      assembler conversion ran before mini-machines could copy furnace fields. Thanks to 
      Lucian.Fallen for reporting!

Version: 1.7.1
Date: 15.04.2026
  Bugfixes:
    - K2SO, Molten Plastic, Plasma Industries: Fixed optical fiber tweaks incorrectly applied when
      the Crushing Industry glass setting is disabled. Thanks to KeitTehvan for reporting!
    - K2SO: Fixed softlock when Lithium crushing is set to "Space Age and K2SO" and "Separate
      crushing techs" is disabled: the lithium-sulphur battery now keeps its original kr-lithium
      ingredient. A new alternative recipe using lithium-dust is added instead, unlocked by
      lithium-processing. Thanks to ActiveLink for reporting!

Version: 1.7.0
Date: 25.02.2026
  Features:
    - The big crusher has its own technology. Unlocking with crafting of a tungsten plate. All big 
      crusher recipes are now unlocked here.
    - Titanium: Titanium plates can now also smelted with crushed ore in furnaces (suggestion by 
      Gensando).
    - Titanium: Titanium plates can now also smelted with enriched titanium and vacuum in foundries
      (suggestion by Gensando).
  Changes:
    - Titanium: Enriched titanium research requires now big crusher research

Version: 1.6.1
Date: 24.02.2026
  Changes:
    - Lead, Tin and Rare Metals crushing: Crafting time now depends on crushing extra yield 
      setting. Like other ore crushing recipes.
    - Graphite: Crafting time significantly increased to 0.8s (from 0.25s). Because the 
      Crushing Industry crusher is much smaller than the K2 crusher.

Version: 1.6.0
Date: 23.02.2026
  Features:
    - K2SO and AAI Industry: Added new option for "Car also burns AAI Fuel". This option also 
      removes the K2SO Fuel research prerequisite for cars. So you can unlock the car without oil.
  Changes:
    - K2SO: The stack size has been increased to 200 for some items.
    - K2SO: Enriched Rare Metals smelting is now consistent with the other enriched smelting 
      recipes (multiplied by 5)
    - BZ Lead and K2SO: Lead Plate crafting time is reduced to 3.2s (from 6.4) to match the other 
      smelting ores
    - BZ Lead and K2SO: Crushed lead smelting requires now 2 crushed lead ore like the uncrushed 
      recipe
    - BZ Tin and K2SO: Tin Plate crafting time is increased to 3.2s (from 2.4s) to match the other 
      smelting ores. Smelting still requires 1 ore/crushed ore
  Bugfixes:
    - Lithium crushing: Fixed Fluoroketone requires Lithium and not Lithium Dust.
    - Seperate technologies enabled and tungsten smelting productivity disabled: 
      Fixed Tungsten Plate is still in smelting productivity research

    - Smelting productivity bonus for tungsten affects now the right recipes (when seperate 
      technologies for ore enabled)
