Changelog

Version: 0.4.64
Date: 2026-10-21
  Changes:
    - Set green (logistic) science to 1 engine unit + 1 inserter + 1 glass bottle (when science bottles are enabled).
    - Remove transport belts and gear wheels from green science entirely.
    - Move ordinary engines to pre-green red+blue research and restore lubricant-free, solid-only engine crafting.
    - Preserve post-green petroleum, lubricant, and electric engine progression.

Version: 0.4.63
Date: 2026-10-21
  Fixes:
    - Clamp generated crate/pallet packing and unpacking recipes to 0% productivity.
    - Retain all packaging ratios, byproduct return probabilities, and manual/automated unpacking behavior.

Version: 0.4.61
Date: 2026-10-21
  Fixes:
    - Prevent crate and pallet unpacking recipes from being chosen as automatic
      hand-crafting intermediates (e.g., using 0.1 pallets of gears for steam machines).
    - Unpacking still works by manual selection or in assemblers, but only with
      actual crate/pallet ingredients; ordinary gear and other base recipes
      remain the automatic crafting routes.
    - Exclude unpacking operations from Total Raw recipe decomposition.

Version: 0.4.59
Date: 2026-10-20
  Fixes:
    - Finalize identical non-self-colliding layer masks for Hauler, Semi and Refrigerated Semi after Infrastructure's late compatibility passes.
    - Add /gz-truck-masks to inspect the collision layers actually loaded by Factorio.

Version: 0.4.57
Date: 2026-10-20
  Fixes:
    - Move Receiving Warehouse Semi parking bays outward within the same loading tiles, preventing spawn collision with paired loading inserters for both warehouse orientations.
    - Select any physically spawnable stored Semi bay instead of allowing an obstructed first stored bay to block all other trucks.
    - Expand /gz-freight-check with per-bay nearby-entity diagnostics when spawning is blocked.

Version: 0.4.54
Date: 2026-10-20
  Fixes:
    - Return the generated all-item crate/pallet catalog to its separate Crates & Pallets crafting tab; no bulk recipes in MASTER.
    - In MASTER, organize Infrastructure warehouses into six size rows and five consistent columns (Passive Provider, Storage, Requester, Buffer, Active Provider).
    - Keep all other mods' crafting groups and recipes unchanged. Retain normal crating/pallet crafting without a Packing Warehouse.

Version: 0.4.52
Date: 2026-10-20
  Fixes:
    - Correct IISP to Road Navigation GUI handoff: close the launcher before opening navigation.
    - Disable Road Navigation launch buttons when the current surface has no 6x6 driving-road nodes.
    - Report the 6x6 road requirement when navigation is invoked without a connected road.

Version: 0.4.51
Date: 2026-10-20
  Changes:
    - Remove Distribution Hub, Packing Warehouse, and all refrigerated warehouses without legacy prototypes or migrations.
    - Preserve refrigeration compressors, refrigerated Semis, wagons, and boats; compressors cool ordinary containers too.
    - Organize Infrastructure and the five logistics-container roles in the GZ MASTER tab.
    - Arrange six sizes in each of five rows: passive-provider, storage, requester, buffer, active-provider.
    - Include crate and pallet recipe catalogs in dedicated MASTER rows after those five logistics rows.
    - Remove Distribution Hub par dispatch; keep 3-Bay Dock demand with in-transit reservations.

Version: 0.4.50
Date: 2026-10-20
  Features:
    - Complete cardinal parking geometry for the standalone three-bay dock, with lane-aligned approach/exit and rotation-time truck retargeting.
    - Show the entire open Receiving Warehouse apron in its footprint/selection outline, without expanding collision.
    - Always show receiving/construction native network coverage when hovering a building or yard apron, or opening a warehouse inventory.

Version: 0.4.49
Date: 20. 10. 2026
  Changes:
    - Hauler, Semi and Refrigerated Semi now share collision masks that ignore each other, preventing truck-to-truck impact damage while keeping normal terrain/building collisions.
    - Active road trucks yield to traffic ahead without consuming fuel or triggering blocked-route recovery; adjacent road lanes can still pass.
    - Head-on road traffic uses deterministic truck priority so simultaneous yielding cannot permanently deadlock both trucks.

Version: 0.4.48
Date: 20. 10. 2026
  Changes:
    - Receiving Warehouses (including refrigerated variants) and Construction Yards now extend native roboport logistics network coverage through non-selectable, invisible relay entities.
    - Orange logistics coverage and green construction coverage shown in Infrastructure view; Yards retain their forward 64x64 truck construction area (green).
    - Active construction Haulers show their local 8-tile radius in orange instead of the vanilla green equipment overlay; the actual 8-tile construction radius remains unchanged.
    - Relays rebuilt on mod upgrade, and cleaned up on mining, destruction, rotation, surface removal, and force changes.
Version: 0.4.47
Date: 2026-10-20
  Features:
    - Make the 3-Bay Logistics Dock a programmable early-game road-logistics endpoint: 12 item-and-quality stock targets, working with any supported attached chest/warehouse without native requester chests.
    - Auto-follow native logistic-container request/provider mode unless the player manually overrides the dock; preserve manual modes and programmed targets through reloads.
    - Enable fueled, manually placed freight Semis to take autonomous logistics assignments on connected service roads, independent of Receiving Warehouse fleet ownership.
  Fixes:
    - Derive current road requests from actual stock less active truck destination reservations and native robot deliveries, with no persistent historical request ledger.
    - Allow only one dock per attached physical container to expose shared stock or emit its demand, avoiding duplicate requests from multiple dock faces.
    - Test alternate providers and routes rather than silently abandoning dispatch if the geographically closest candidate is unreachable.
    - Cap assigned freight by destination's physical insertable capacity less cargo already assigned there.
    - Preserve existing Receiving Warehouse, Distribution Hub, Construction Yard, refrigeration, and physical truck transfer behavior.

Version: 0.4.45
Date: 2026-10-20

    - Unlock each steam sidegrade alongside its original recipe and support Q-pipette, blueprints and construction ghosts with canonical items.

Version: 0.4.44
Date: 2026-10-20
  Fixes:
    - Restore steam machine and inserter Q-pipette, blueprint copying and bot construction by explicitly preserving player-creation and usable selection/copy flags.
    - Give each canonical steam entity a single unique visible place_result item; hidden legacy items continue to place their matching legacy steam entities instead of competing with the canonical items.
    - Ensure the cloned replacement items have no hidden item flags, and preserve explicit ghost material mappings for old machines.

Version: 0.4.43
Date: 2026-10-20
  Fixes:
    - Restore Q-pipette, blueprint copying and ordinary settings copy/paste for steam-powered machines.
    - Make both new steam entities and legacy machines in existing saves explicitly placeable by their visible steam item.
    - Clear inherited hidden state from the replacement items; retain hidden original item aliases for save compatibility.

Version: 0.4.42
Date: 2026-10-19
  Fixes:
    - Change the opt-in Cargo Ships vessel setting to suppress the original Boat, Cargo Ship and Oil Tanker recipes in both player crafting and machine recipe lists.
    - Disable those exact recipes, remove their technology unlock effects and clear pre-existing force recipe unlocks when the option is enabled.
    - Preserve Cargo Ships entities/items, ports, waterways and all GZ vessels.

Version: 0.4.41
Date: 2026-10-19
  Features:

Version: 0.4.34
Date: 2026-10-19
  Features:
    - Add the compact 1x2 Steam Stone Crusher alongside Infrastructure's existing steam-powered machines when the Tweaks crusher is available.
    - Use a dedicated steam inlet on the short end of the crusher, rotating with its orientation; retain the 1.25 crafting speed and stone-to-sand recipe category.
