Changelog

Version: 0.1.0
Date: 2026-10-24
  Changes:
    - Updated to Factorio 2.1 (factorio_version is now "2.1", requires base and quality >= 2.1.0).
    - Quality tiers now use the 2.1 probability model: next_probability = 1 and chain_probability = 0.1,
      which is the 2.1 equivalent of the old "next_probability = 0.1 on every tier".
    - The "double quality module effects" setting now doubles the quality effect of every module,
      because 2.1 already uses the maximum next_probability (old behaviour doubled next_probability).
  Fixes:
    - beacon_power_usage_multiplier is clamped to the new 2.1 minimum of 0.01, which was violated
      above quality level 20.
