Changelog

Version: 0.4.4
Date: 2026-01-19
  Optimizations:
    - MAJOR UPS FIX: Rewrote pentapod tracking to use direct entity references
    - Previous version searched ALL spider-units on ALL surfaces for EVERY tracked pentapod
    - New version uses O(1) lookups via stored entity references
    - Added reverse lookup table for efficient pentapod death cleanup
    - Cached all startup settings to avoid repeated lookups
    - Pre-calculate squared distance to avoid sqrt() calls
    - Merged duplicate on_entity_died handlers into single handler
    - Added migration support for saves with old storage format
  Notes:
    - Existing saves will automatically migrate to new format
    - Old pentapod tracking entries will be cleaned up naturally

Date: 2026-01-18
  Features:

    - Behemoth Stompers and Strafers will spawn at evolution 0.9+ if mod is installed

    - Pentapod colonies now spawn on Nauvis during world generation

  Settings:
    - Colony Spawn Chance: Control how often colonies appear (default 2% per chunk)
    - Minimum Distance from Spawn: Protect your starting area
    - Stomper/Strafer Weight: Adjust the ratio of melee vs ranged pentapods
    - Max Pentapods per Colony: Limit how many pentapods each colony can maintain

  Notes:
