Changelog

Version: 0.0.5
Date: 2026-06-27
  Changes:
    - Updated for Factorio 2.1 compatibility.
    - Bumped factorio_version to 2.1 and dependency versions accordingly.
    - Minor cleanup following Factorio 2.1 modding guidelines.
Version: 0.0.4
Date: 2026-06-05
  Bugfixes:
    - FIXED: Rail supports could not be placed on Fulgora in the deep oil ocean.
      Cause: The technology "rail-support-foundations" required "elevated-rail".
      Since elevated-rail is disabled by the mod, rail-support-foundations could never
      be researched and the "rail-support-on-deep-oil-ocean" effect was never enabled.
      Fix: Replaced "elevated-rail" with "railway" in the prerequisites for rail-support-foundations.
    - FIXED: rail-planner-allow-elevated-rails modifier was missing in new games.
      The G-switch in the Rail Planner now works correctly after railway research.
  Changes:
    - New control.lua: Existing saves are automatically migrated on load.
      If railway or elevated-rail was already researched, all elevated-rail recipes are
      ensured to be enabled (idempotent, harmless if already active).
    - Code cleanup in vanilla.lua: removed conflicting rail-planner hidden assignments.
    - Updated prototypes/mod-support.lua: Fixed rail-support-foundations and
      rail-planner-allow-elevated-rails in mod compatibility code as well.
Version: 0.0.3
Date: 2025-10-25
  Changes:
    - Updated mod dependency to require elevated-rails mod version 2.0.0 or higher.
    - Updated mod dependency to require boblogistics mod version 2.0.3 or higher for compatibility.
Version: 0.0.2
Date: 2025-10-22
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed technology modifications not applying correctly in some cases.
    - Fixed mod compatibility issues when loaded alongside other rail mods.
    - Fixed elevated-rail technology not being properly hidden.
    - Fixed duplicate recipe entries in railway technology.
  Changes:
    - Moved all technology changes to data-final-fixes phase for better compatibility.
    - Added duplicate recipe check to prevent double entries in railway technology.
    - Improved Bob's Logistics mod integration.
    - Reorganized code structure to use data-final-fixes.lua instead of data.lua.
    - Now properly hides the original elevated-rail technology.
    - Ensured rail-planner-elevated-rails technology is available after railway research.
  Optimizations:
    - Better mod load order handling ensures changes are applied last.
    - Improved code structure with separate vanilla and mod-support files.
