Changelog

Version: 2.1.10
Date: 2026-11-08
  Changes:
    - Marked incompatible with Even Distribution fix (even-distribution-fix) and Even Distribution: Updated (even-distribution-updated), so only one copy of Even Distribution can be enabled.

Version: 2.1.9
Date: 2026-11-05
  Bugfixes:
    - Draw distribution markers with the current rendering target format, so spidertron markers appear above the spidertron again.
    - Replace the removed game.recipe_prototypes lookup in the robot-unlock check with prototypes.recipe.
    - Recipe product checks use the expected output amount, so random outputs (minimum amount 0) still count as products and probabilities are no longer read as amounts.
  Info:
    - Include the full GNU GPLv3 and LGPLv3 license texts (COPYING, COPYING.LESSER).
    - Marker and recipe fixes adapted from Even Distribution: Updated by johnmart19 / FactorioMods (LGPLv3).

Version: 2.1.8
Date: 2026-11-05
  Changes:
    - Even Distribution (Reborn) by FallenPaladin, rebuilt on Even Distribution Fork 2.1.7 by Jhorr (his entries below); original mod by 321freddy.
    - Marked incompatible with Even Distribution, Even Distribution Fork and Even Distribution fixed (use only one).
    - Import saved player preferences and ignored entities from Jhorr's fork as well as from the original mod.
    - Freshness is no longer averaged before distributing. Each item keeps its own freshness and merges natively at the target, most-spoiled items going first, so stacks that are not moved are never changed.
  Bugfixes:
    - Removed the module-level freshness pool from the legacy transfer path, so no state carries between actions or differs between multiplayer peers.
    - Errors during distribution now keep their original traceback in crash reports.
    - Free hover backup inventories left in a replaced fork's saved data.

Version: 2.1.7
Date: 2026-11-04
  Bugfixes:
    - Correct oversized Modlist UI sprite references to this fork's 144x144 thumbnail when cached portal dimensions are outdated.
    - Preserve the intended thumbnail display size without enlarging or replacing the PNG.

Version: 2.1.6
Date: 2026-11-03
  Optimisations:
    - Reuse same-sized native hover backup inventories within a tick, copying fresh stack contents on each selection.
    - Skip per-slot capture scans for inventories without the selected item and quality.
    - Expire hover backups through a due-tick queue instead of scanning every player cache each tick.
    - Index target owners without changing target order or remainder allocation.
  Changes:
    - Import saved player preferences and remotely ignored entities when replacing the original even-distribution mod.
    - Register persistent metatables with Factorio and migrate existing fork saves during configuration changes.
    - Separate prototype cache refresh, state migration and player initialization; remove the deferred full initialization after load.
    - Route transfer helpers through one interface while retaining the quantity-based compatibility path used by helper callers.

Version: 2.1.5
Date: 2026-11-03
  Bugfixes:
    - Fix item loss when a native drag transfer refills the cursor from the main inventory.
    - Restore matching inventory stacks together with the cursor, without overwriting unrelated items after inventory sorting.
    - Validate live quantities and all return slots before undoing a native transfer; retain the native transfer when safe restoration is impossible.
    - Restore original single-pass Even Distribute dragging: rejected shares stay carried instead of being reassigned to other targets.
    - Restore original Balance Inventory remainder allocation when some targets fill up.
    - Restore original Cleanup eligibility for full targets and return existing stock above configured fuel/ammo limits when there is room.
    - Keep rejected items at their source when no safe destination or return space exists.
  Changes:
    - Keep freshness groups, quality handling, partial-item preservation and the existing Space Age rules as additions to the original allocation policy.

Version: 2.1.4
Date: 2026-11-02
  Changes:
    - Distribute one consumption bracket per item and quality, prioritizing the most-used third. Freshness merges within the selected bracket instead of across all player stock.
    - Distribute ammunition across all consumption brackets in one action, prioritizing partly used ammunition within each type.
    - Process ammunition in ascending progression: yellow, red, then green magazines; normal rockets before explosive rockets.
    - Keep a 100-item personal reserve only for item/quality pairs explicitly present in character ammo slots, counting equipped ammunition, the main inventory and the cursor together.
    - Enable default Shift+C filling of Biochamber nutrients and ammunition while respecting personal keep rules and distribution limits.
    - Treat fuel and recipe inputs as separate destinations when an item is needed in both slots.
    - Only allow Shift+C to fill recyclers whose input inventory is already non-empty, and heating towers whose fuel inventory is already non-empty.
    - Disable Shift+C for nuclear reactors and fusion reactors, whether empty or already supplied. Use Ctrl+Click Drag to supply them explicitly.
    - Exclude atomic bombs from automatic turret filling; retain chest cleanup and explicit drag.
    - Refresh revised defaults in older saves of the same mod version without resetting user settings.
  Bugfixes:
    - Recognize fusion reactors as valid Ctrl+Click Drag targets.
    - Preserve quality, freshness, remaining shots, durability and health during distribution, balancing, inventory cleanup, cursor restoration and item returns.
    - Preserve the state of fuel and ammunition returned to the player when replacing inferior items.
    - Debit sources only after successful insertion; rejected items remain at their source instead of being spilled.
    - Correct accounting for partial transfers so subsequent transfers cannot reuse previously distributed freshness or consumption values.
    - Retain distinct Even Distribute and Balance Inventory behavior, including existing stock, full targets and native merging of used items.
  Optimisations:
    - Reduce repeated inventory scans by collecting eligible stacks before distribution.
  Credits:
    - Thanks to FallenPaladin for the initial spoilage preservation contribution.

Version: 2.1.3
Date: 2026-11-01
  Changes:
    - First Even Distribution (Reborn) release by FallenPaladin, based on Even Distribution Fork 2.1.2 by Jhorr.
  Bugfixes:
    - Preserve spoilage when distributing, balancing and using inventory cleanup (initial fix, later replaced by Jhorr's native stack transfer in 2.1.4).

Version: 2.1.2
Date: 2026-10-27
  Bugfixes:
    - Preserve item quality throughout drag distribution, balancing, cursor restoration and overflow returns.
    - Keep different qualities separate when counting or removing items from inventories, vehicles and machines.
    - Prevent inventory cleanup from consuming higher-quality items held in the cursor.
    - Finish pending distributions before starting a different item or quality transaction.
    - Preserve quality when replacing fuel or ammunition; only replace stacks of the selected quality.
  Changes:
    - Enable drag distribution for every quality tier. Inventory cleanup continues to handle normal-quality items only.

Date: 2026-10-13
