Changelog

Version: 1.2.0
Date: 2024-12-22
  Balancing:
    - Reduced mining time of storage tanks from 0.2 to 0.1.
  Info:
    - Added extra info to Factoriopedia entries, because I could.
  Internal:
    - Overhauled prototype creation so the storage tanks no longer inherit their values from the
      vanilla Storage Tank. A general solution to a mod conflict issue that was fixed in v1.1.4.
Version: 1.1.5
Date: 2024-12-21
  Balancing:
    - Added weight to the storage tanks. Much lower than before.
Version: 1.1.4
Date: 2024-12-07
  Bugfixes:
    - The optional "next_upgrade" property was explicitly set to nil as a quick fix to a crash
      possibly caused by mod load order changes in relation to the Space Age DLC and the mod
      Storage Tank Mk2 2.0 by Jtmzac.
  Info:
    - Fixed changelog for v1.1.3.
  Internal:
    - Fixed a description of a new piece of code.
Version: 1.1.3
Date: 2024-12-06
  Changes:
    - Compatibility for Space Age DLC: Heating required on Aquilo is now roughly proportional to
      the surface area of the storage tanks (25kW instead of 100kW).
    - Compatibility for Space Exploration (not relevant): Change now only occurs if it's installed.
      Also added it as hidden optional dependency.
    - Now requires "base" version 2.0.7 or higher, for the sake of inbuilt tech reset function.
Version: 1.1.2
Date: 2024-11-23
  Graphics:
    - Created a custom explosion effect that better fits the size and color of the storage tanks.
  Sounds:
    - Replaced explosion sound with a weaker variant, downgraded impact category to "metal" and
      reduced working volume to better fit the size of the storage tanks.
    - Replaced generic inventory item pick/drop/move as well as entity open/close sounds with those
      used for small metal objects (added in Factorio 2.0).
  Internal:
    - Compacted and restructured a lot of code.
    - Tidied up.
Version: 1.1.1
Date: 2024-11-09
  Translation:
    - Added new chinese translation provided by Houraiji_Kyuusyou!
Version: 1.1.0
Date: 2024-11-09
  Features:
    - Added a 4-way version of the storage tank! Looks decent enough.
  Graphics:
    - Copied and modified graphics of existing storage tank for use with the new variant.
      Note: Left icon the same, because new pair of icons would become too small.
    - Carefully fixed missing shadow for back-side pipe connection.
  Translation:
    - Removed chinese translation for now, due to many changes. Sorry!
  Changes:
    - Updated mod title and description.
    - Updated descriptions.
