Changelog

Version: 1.1.0
Date: 21.01.2025
  Major Features:
    - Enemy research system has been overhauled and decoupled from evolution factor. Now each upgrade requires certain amount of points to complete. Research points can be gained from following factors: time, pollution produced, polution absorbed and nest kills. Each factor, as well as points required per upgrade are fully configurable.
    - Pollution production factor accounts for multiple surfaces. All Space Age surfaces are supported.
    - Pollution absorbtion factor accounts for specific structures and supports multiple surfaces as well. Supports spawners from Vanilla, Space Age, Armored Biters mod, Explosive Biters mod, Toxic Biters mod and Cold Biters mod, on all Space Age surfaces.
    - Nest destruction factor accounts for all vanilla and modded "spawner" type entities on all surfaces.
    - Added Quality scaling for enemy bases with distance to spawn. Configurable.
