Changelog

Version: 0.1.6
Date: 2026-05-16
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed laboratories stopping when many laboratory expanders were connected by moving scripted expander energy load onto the expanders instead of draining the base laboratory directly.
    - Fixed factory expanders not accepting ingredient items by removing the zero ingredient limit from the expander prototype.
  Changes:
    - Factory and laboratory expanders now forward valid input items from their own input inventories into the linked base assembling machine, furnace, or laboratory, allowing inserters and loaders to feed through expanders.

Version: 0.1.5
Date: 2026-05-16
  Features:
    - Added laboratory expanders that connect to vanilla labs and chained laboratory expanders.
    - Added new laboratory connector graphics based on the vanilla lab with a space-base style coupler.
  Changes:
    - Laboratory expanders use the existing expander bonus settings for research productivity, research speed, and active lab energy load.

Version: 0.1.4
Date: 2026-04-01
  Changes:
    - Added full locale files for CS, SK, IT, FR, HU, NL, ES, and DE.
    - Cleaned the release package by removing macOS metadata files.

Version: 0.1.2
Date: 2026-03-30
  Features:
    - Added support for expanding electric furnaces.
    - Each expander now grants electric furnaces +75% productivity and +75% speed.
  Changes:
    - Connector rendering now stays above assemblers and expanders.
    - Bonus-item overflow now stays in assembler and expander buffers instead of spilling onto the ground.
    - Expander buffer contents are preserved across relinks and rebuilds.

Version: 0.1.1
Date: 2026-03-29
  Features:
    - Added chained expander linking so expanders can connect through other expanders.
    - Added per-expander item buffers for bonus-output overflow.
  Changes:
    - Fixed runtime storage for Factorio 2.0 by using storage instead of global.
    - Updated craft-completion tracking to use bonus_progress.

Version: 0.1.0
Date: 2026-03-29
  Features:
    - Initial release with factory expanders for assembling-machine-3.
