Changelog

Version: 0.3.9
Date: 2026-05-02
  Changes:
    - Synced regular Market Terminal buy offers with the same generated market price resolver used by item tooltips.
    - Clarified market tooltip labels so item descriptions distinguish sell payouts, base buy prices, and unavailable purchases.

Version: 0.3.8
Date: 2026-04-29

    - Automated GitHub release 0.3.8.

Version: 0.3.7
Date: 2026-04-29
  Changes:
    - Automated GitHub release 0.3.7.

Version: 0.3.7
Date: 2026-04-30
  Optimizations:
    - Spread Market Hub, Market Terminal, personal market, liquid market, and power-interface processing across wider runtime buckets to reduce per-tick Lua cost and UPS spikes.
    - Deferred Market Hub feeder rescans after nearby belt or mining drill changes, and merged feeder discovery into one surface query.
    - Split market runtime processing from wallet/UI housekeeping so queued UI refresh work no longer runs every tick.
    - Recreated only affected market rate-label render objects during reset instead of clearing all renderings owned by the mod.
    - Counted Market Terminal inventory contents with Factorio's aggregated inventory API for lighter auto-buy processing.
  Compatibility:
    - Rebuilds saved runtime buckets when processing intervals change so existing saves migrate cleanly.

Version: 0.3.6
Date: 2026-04-28
  Optimizations:
    - Bucketed Power Seller and Power Buyer runtime processing over 5 ticks instead of scanning every power interface every tick.

    - Reduced idle Market Terminal and Market Hub processing work when there are no active requests or cached feeders.
