Changelog

Version: 0.1.6

  Changes:
    - Reduced thermal dissipator heat yield to 120kW (75% of buoy) as an additional emphasis on use of heat pipes and/or quality. Sorry if this messes up your setups!
    - Reduced assembling machine 1 heating energy to 70kW (previously, assembling machine 1-3 were all 100kW) to offset this change when starting from scratch.
    - Worded the "welcome message" to more accurately inform you of your circumstances in Aquilo start.
Version: 0.1.5

  Changes:
    - Thermal dissipators (surface promethium heater) can no longer be placed within a 1-tile range of other dissipators, allowing them to remain individually useful but less effective for bulk heat.
    - A config option is available to disable this restriction (exclusion zones will still generate, but won't collide). Not recommended - for advanced setups, quality dissipators are an interesting option.
    - Thermal dissipators placed before the update will not have the exclusion zone regardless of setting, as it's created on placement.
    - Increased specific heat of thermal units a bit (doesn't increase heat output, just makes it build and diminish a bit smoother).
Version: 0.1.4

  Changes:
    - Adjusted resource distribution in meteor ore to limit long-term competition with shattered planet and make ore raised by fluid resource vents a "point of interest".
    - Surface-level meteor ore now has a 4% chance to yield promethium chunks (from 3%), dropping carbonic asteroid chance by 1% (62% > 61%).
    - Submerged meteor ore now has a 1% chance to yield promethium chunks (from 3%), increasing metallic asteroid chance by 2% (35% > 37%).
Version: 0.1.3

  Changes:
    - Added ice melting unlock to fluid handling for Aquilo start. (Oops. If I missed anything else, let me know!)
Version: 0.1.2

  Changes:
    - Buoy exclusion zones (entities that prevent placing ice next to thermal buoys) now use a single locale string, which is also now correctly defined.
    - Primarily internal adjustment: Buoy exclusion is now "zone" instead of "radius", and associated code has been generalized slightly.
Version: 0.1.1

  Changes:
    - Specify minimum versions of dependencies.
Version: 0.1.0

  Changes:
    - Initial release
