Changelog

Version: 2.1.0
Date: 24. 08. 2026
  Changes:
    - Moved to a new mod portal page and renamed to "Explosive Excavation Continued". The old
      page, explosive_excavation_unofficial_2_1, is deprecated. Existing saves are unaffected:
      the item and technology prototypes are unchanged, so removing the old mod and enabling
      this one keeps your charges. The two cannot be enabled at the same time.
    - The item icon is now 64x64 and the technology icon 256x256, both with mipmaps, matching
      base-game sizes. Neither is upscaled in game any more.
    - The icons are Factorio's own cliff-explosives art with red and blue swapped. Thanks to
      Ingo_Igel for the idea. See CREDITS.md.
    - New thumbnail showing the four fills the charge produces, with the charge in the middle.
    - Added LICENSE and CREDITS.md.
  Bugfixes:
    - Charges refunded from a space platform are no longer lost if they do not fit back in the
      inventory. Whatever does not fit is now spilled on the ground instead of vanishing.

Version: 2.0.0
Date: 09. 08. 2026
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed that the mod failed to load on Factorio 2.1.7 and later: RecipePrototype `category` was removed and merged into `categories`.
    - Fixed that the item and technology icons pointed at `__Explosive Excavation__`, which is not this mod's name, so sprite loading failed.
    - Fixed that blasting charges could be placed on space platform foundation; the tiles are now restored and the charges refunded.
  Changes:
    - Declared dependencies: base >= 2.1.14, optional Space Age, and incompatible with the original Explosive Excavation mod.
    - Removed an unused icon and shrank the thumbnail from 1024x1024 to 256x256, cutting the download from 1.4 MB to about 180 KB.
    - Planets are now identified through the surface's planet prototype instead of the surface name, so renamed and scripted surfaces behave correctly.
    - The item now sorts after the Space Age terrain items instead of tying with artificial yumako soil.

Version: 1.3.0
