    - Added steam stripping: 20 Ammoniacal Liquor + 20 steam -> 1 ammonia + 20 water.

Version: 1.3.45
Date: 2026-10-02
  Changes:
    - Made lithium brine and fluorine vents Aquilo-exclusive instead of synchronizing them onto Nauvis.
    - Set Aquilo lithium/fluorine resource defaults to 2x richness and roughly 25% patch area, including starting fields.

Date: 01. 10. 2026
  Changes:
    - Exempted circular/tarmac GZ Infrastructure intersections, including the elevated variant, from Hardmode foundation tile requirements.

Version: 1.3.31
Date: 30. 09. 2026
  Compatibility:
    - Exempted the new GZ Infrastructure elevated bridge-span module and its runtime deck/support children from Hardmode foundation requirements so it can be built over water and raw terrain.

Version: 1.3.30
Date: 30. 09. 2026
  Bugfixes:
    - Exempted the complete GZ Infrastructure service-road family from Terra Hardmode foundation tile requirements, including elevated road decks placed on bridge supports.

Version: 1.3.29
Date: 2026-09-29
  Compatibility:
    - Exempted GZ Infrastructure Bridge Supports (gz-road-support) from Terra's stone-brick/concrete foundation placement requirement.
    - Reasserts the exemption during data-final-fixes so the support keeps its own water/bridge placement rules instead of inheriting Terra's generic building foundation rule.

Version: 1.3.28
Date: 2026-09-28
  Administration:
    - Added admin-only asteroid spawning controls to the TERRA Hub panel.
    - Admins can set Factorio's live asteroid spawning rate from 0% to 1000% or reset it to the 100% engine default.
    - The control writes the engine map setting directly, so it adds no periodic Lua polling; Factorio applies the setting globally to orbital and route asteroid spawning.

Version: 1.3.27
Date: 2026-09-28
  Performance:
    - Removed the once-per-second 1024x1024 player-area evolution-cap fallback scan; chunk-generation and entity-spawn/build events remain authoritative.
    - Removed the once-per-second 768x768 apex-worm player-area fallback scan; chunk-generation and script build/revive events remain authoritative.

    - Lakebed Mulch now accepts every Gleba water/lake/wetland tile plus generic and modded shallow-water tiles, including Terra walkable shallows that intentionally lack the water_tile collision layer.

Version: 1.3.24
Date: 2026-09-27
  Progression:
    - Centralized all visible seed-producing recipe unlocks under Fruit Cultivation.
    - Seed recipes added by compatible mods are detected dynamically during final fixes and removed from earlier technology unlocks.

Version: 1.3.23
Date: 2026-09-27
  Performance:
    - Staggered the Nauvis apex-worm and evolution-cap safety rescans to one connected player per second instead of scanning every connected player's large safety area in one five-second burst.
    - Flattened local Aquilo freezing checks from a 30-tick/160-entity burst into 5-tick/27-entity slices with equivalent overall throughput.

Version: 1.3.22
Date: 2026-09-27
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed Mech Armor flight colliding with buildings and other entities after the ocean-collision restriction.
    - Flying collision now checks only the water_tile layer on tiles, preserving normal Mech Armor obstacle flight while keeping oceans impassable.

Version: 1.3.21
Date: 2026-09-27
  Mech Armor:
    - Mech Armor flight can no longer traverse open-water/ocean tiles in Terra.
    - Flight still clears ordinary land obstacles; Terra tiles intentionally made walkable by removing the water_tile collision layer remain traversable.

Version: 1.3.20
Date: 2026-09-26
  Progression:
    - Re-homed every recipe unlocked by vanilla planet-discovery-aquilo onto Lithium processing before Terra removes the planet-discovery technology.
    - Restores Ammoniacal solution separation, Solid fuel from ammonia, Ammonia rocket fuel, and Ice platform in the Nauvis-only technology tree.
    - Aquilo recipe unlocks are captured dynamically so compatible mods that append recipe effects to planet-discovery-aquilo are not orphaned.

Version: 1.3.19
Date: 2026-09-26
  Balance:
    - Changed the Crude Kiln charcoal recipe from 1 wood -> 1 charcoal to 5 wood -> 5 charcoal so each firing batch has better fuel-processing efficiency.
  Recipes:
    - Removed Lumber Transport Belt crafting from the Crude Little Foundry; ordinary assembling machines, hand crafting, and the Space Age Foundry retain access.

Version: 1.3.18
Date: 2026-09-26
  Woodworking:
    - Changed Lumber production from 5 wood -> 5 Lumber to 2 wood -> 3 Lumber.

  Primitive bootstrap:
    - Renamed the player-facing Brick Kiln to Crude Kiln while preserving its legacy internal recipe-category ID for compatibility.
    - Added Charcoal: 1 wood -> 1 Charcoal in the Crude Kiln.
    - Charcoal fuel value tracks 150% of the current wood fuel value (3 MJ with vanilla wood).

Version: 1.3.17
Date: 2026-09-25
  Integration:
    - Terra now registers as the GIZMOD Item Tabs MASTER, using the Terra thumbnail for the shared MASTER tab.
    - Terra-created items, fluids, and recipes are grouped into the Terra row without per-item registration lists.

Version: 1.3.16
Date: 2026-09-25
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed the Nauvis Frost/Toxic apex-worm runtime safety net crashing when optional Cold Biters or Toxic Biters worm prototypes are absent.
    - Runtime worm filters are now built only from prototypes that actually exist; installs without either apex-worm family skip the related scans entirely.

Version: 1.3.15
Date: 2026-09-25
  Changes:
    - Removed the obsolete embedded GZ-Tweaks data/runtime copy; standalone gz-tweaks is now the sole Tweaks implementation.

    - Pipe fluid-classification integration now targets GZ Hazardous Materials directly.

Version: 1.3.11
Date: 2026-09-24
  Fixes:
    - Re-homed the vanilla Ammoniacal solution separation recipe onto Lithium processing in Terra's Nauvis-only progression, since planet-discovery-aquilo is intentionally removed.

Version: 1.3.10
Date: 2026-09-24
  Bugfixes:
    - GZ-Pipeworks compatibility: ammoniacal solution is now explicitly normal-pipe compatible instead of being misclassified as corrosive by the generic "ammonia" name heuristic.

Version: 1.3.9
Date: 2026-09-24
  Fixes:
    - Stopped GZ-Terra from rewriting Cargo Ships waterway rail tile-buildability rules during data-final-fixes.
    - Terra now only ensures the Nauvis normal-water tile retains the water_tile collision layer expected by stock Cargo Ships.
    - Preserves Cargo Ships, Canal Excavator, and Dredgeworks compatibility changes instead of overwriting them late in the data stage.

Version: 1.3.8
Date: 2026-09-24
  Changes:
    - Restored the Dredgeworks wire buoy foundation exemption so it can be placed on water again.
    - Added the same explicit exemption for the Dredgeworks light buoy.
    - Kept normal medium/large electric poles, substations, and ordinary lamps under the foundation rule.

Version: 1.3.7
Date: 2026-09-24
  Terra Guide:
    - Rebuilt the Terra helper into eight tabs: TLDR, Welcome, Diplomacy, Economy, Threat, Chitin/Toxic, Ecology & Chemistry, and Impact Monitor.
    - Added visual structure cards for the Territory Flag and Light Resource Outpost on Diplomacy, and Flux, Supply Depot, Customs Warehouse, and Zed on Economy.
    - Kept Impact Monitor as the final guide tab with a direct live-monitor launcher when GZ Impact is available.
    - Added a green Global Statistics button that opens Gizmod's shared leaderboard window; Close remains a normal button.

Version: 1.3.6
Date: 2026-09-24
  Changes:
    - Halved calcite-to-molten consumption ratio in the Crude Little Foundry melting recipes by increasing iron, copper, and glass molten output from 25 to 50 per 1 calcite.
    - Kept the alternate GZ Void Glass molten-glass route at the same 1 calcite -> 50 molten-glass ratio.
  Fixes:
    - Removed a leftover data-final-fixes calcite ingredient that was still being re-added to the canonical steel-plate foundry recipe.

Version: 1.3.5
Date: 2026-09-24
  Changes:
    - Removed the calcite ingredient from the Crude Little Foundry steel plate casting recipe.

Version: 1.3.4
Date: 2026-09-24
  Changes:
    - Decoupled Recycling and Holmium Processing. Recycling is now a standalone technology branch while retaining its 500-scrap scripted trigger.
    - Holmium Processing no longer requires Recycling and now triggers the first time a holmium-ore resource is mined.
    - Existing saves with prior holmium-ore production receive a one-time Holmium Processing backfill on configuration change.

Version: 1.3.3
Date: 2026-09-24
  Melting:
    - Crude Little Foundry molten iron, molten copper, and molten glass recipes now each consume 1 calcite per craft.
    - Increased those three melting yields from 20 to 25 molten fluid per craft (+25%).
    - Applied the same 1-calcite / 25-molten rule to the later GZ Void Glass molten-glass recipe so it cannot bypass the new balance.

Version: 1.2.39
Date: 2026-09-23
  Explosive materials:
    - Added generic solid explosive-item handling to the existing flammable-fluid hazard system.
    - All ammo prototypes are automatically treated as explosive materials, including modded ammunition.
    - The vanilla explosives item is automatically treated as an explosive material.
    - Filled barrels automatically inherit the hazard of flammable/explosive fluids; their load is derived from barrel fluid amount and fluid fuel value when available.
    - Explosive cargo is detected in entity inventories, belt transport lines, inserter-held stacks, and item-on-ground entities.
    - Added the gz_terra_explosives remote interface so third-party mods can register additional solid explosive materials with an energy-per-item value.

Version: 1.2.37
Date: 2026-09-21
  Fixes:
    - Removed the Automation Science Pack requirement from Basic Woodworking, which could deadlock red-science progression.
  Changes:
    - Basic Woodworking and the Lumber Mill now unlock from the existing force-wide milestone of manually mining 100 wood.
    - Existing saves that already crossed the 100-wood Agriculture milestone are migrated forward automatically.

Date: 2026-09-21
  Changes:
    - Changed Recycling to a scripted force-wide trigger that unlocks after 500 scrap has been produced/collected.
    - Scrap production statistics are used so both manual and automated mining count, and existing saves retain prior scrap progress.

Version: 1.2.33
Date: 2026-09-21
  Changes:
    - Removed the Heating Tower copper-stromatolite research trigger.
    - Heating Tower now requires Logistic Science Pack and costs 50 automation + 50 logistic science packs.

Date: 2026-09-21
  Changes:
    - Added Basic Woodworking after Agriculture.
    - Lumber Mill is now unlocked by Basic Woodworking instead of being available from the start.
    - Advanced AOP woodworking now also requires Basic Woodworking.

Version: 1.2.31
Date: 2026-09-21
  Changes:
    - Removed the one-science Basic Agriculture technology.
    - Changed vanilla Agriculture from the iron-stromatolite trigger to a scripted trigger that completes after the force manually mines 100 wood.
    - Iron stromatolites no longer trigger a technology in Terra progression.

Version: 1.2.30
Date: 2026-09-20
  Fixes:
    - Relaxed Space Age surface conditions on plant prototypes in Nauvis-only progression, matching the existing recipe/entity relaxation.
    - Reworked cultivated water-cane/cuttlepop shallow-water compatibility to use water/player collision layers and tile_buildability_rules instead of tile-name whitelists/autoplace.
  Changes:
    - Replaced hard dependencies on Slipstacks, Fluroflux, and Boompuff Agriculture with GZ-Tweaks >= 1.0.25 integrated farming content.

    - When GZ Impact is present, the TERRA GZ-Hub panel now shows an Asteroid Impacts section with an Open Impact Monitor button and Alt+I shortcut hint.

Version: 1.2.8
Date: 2026-09-17
  Changes:
    - Space science packs are restricted to pressure=0 space-platform surfaces again. Terra's Nauvis-only recipe relaxation no longer makes Space Science craftable on Nauvis.

Version: 1.2.7
Date: 2026-09-17
  Changes:
    - Nauvis rivers now carve through the coastal beach/shallow shelf at river mouths instead of allowing beach sand to bridge across the channel.
    - Added a coast-only river cut mask so inland river crossings and ford behavior remain unchanged.

Version: 1.2.6
Date: 2026-09-17
  Multiplayer / Desync:
    - Radiation GUI flicker no longer consumes the shared global math.random stream. Its visual frame is now derived deterministically from game tick and player index.
    - Keeps a per-player cosmetic GUI effect from perturbing gameplay RNG when a client reconnects or has a different GUI lifecycle.

Version: 1.2.5
Date: 2026-09-16
  Performance:
