Terra Nauvis for MULTIPLAYER: A Grand Strategy Overhaul for Factorio Space Age. Start your own team at any time and get a separate spawn with resources and clean tech tree. Get immersed in a unified, topologically grounded ecosystem with all biomes/resources on one surface.
Large total conversion mods.
Version: 1.4.5
Date: 2026-10-22
Map generation:
- Spawn native Rabbasca turbofish in Nauvis waters using exactly 10% of Nauvis ordinary fish's map-generation probability.
- Remove the previous sludge-only restriction for Nauvis turbofish, without changing fish density on Rabbasca or already-generated chunks.
Version: 1.4.4
Date: 2026-10-20
Graphics:
- Reduce the GZ Lumber Mill animation and shadow to 85% of their previous on-screen size.
- Retain its 3x3 footprint, collision and selection boxes, fluid-free recipe system, and crafting behavior.
Version: 1.4.3
Date: 2026-10-20
Technology:
- Unlock the vanilla Iron Sticks recipe through Automation I, not before.
- Migrate existing saves so forces with Automation I researched gain the recipe immediately.
- Leave Lumber, Wooden Platforms, and all recipe ingredients/results unchanged.
Version: 1.4.2
Date: 2026-10-20
GUI:
- Restore Terra's four-step new-player TLDR: salvage the ship's hydrogen generator, sell scrap, locate neighboring teams and resources, then establish manufacturing/trade routes.
- Restore the visible first-tab TLDR builder and its Next to Welcome button; it had stopped being invoked.
- Display the crash-site wreck and Flux icons when their registered sprites are available; gracefully omit missing sprite references.
- Keep the Diplomacy 0.5.80 retired-item compatibility fix and 1.4.0 landscape changes.
Version: 1.4.1
Date: 2026-10-20
Compatibility:
- Update the Terra introduction and TLDR to reflect Diplomacy 0.5.80's retirement of craftable territory flags and light resource outposts.
- Validate feature-card sprite paths before building the window; skip icons removed by other mods rather than crashing the game's on_tick GUI event.
- Preserve the landscape changes from 1.4.0.
Version: 1.4.0
Date: 2026-10-20
Map generation:
- Increase Nauvis water-size default from 150% to 375% (2.5x the previous nominal setting), retaining its existing water scale control.
- Increase GZ continent wavelengths 50% and reduce fine-scale coastline breakup for broader contiguous continents.
- Narrow main river channels toward 6-8 tiles on average (4-unit centerline half-band); reduce valley influence from 96 to 48 units.
- Fade all river carving, valley and water-type masks at pre-carve shorelines, preventing river shallows from crossing pre-existing lakes and open ocean.
- Only newly generated chunks change; exact water coverage and channel widths depend on the noise field and map seed.
Version: 1.3.100
Date: 2026-10-19
Changes:
- Centralize screen-window construction, glass theme, lifecycle and standard draggable headers through Gizmod gui_windows.
- Keep existing panels, event handlers, names and gameplay data intact.
Version: 1.3.99
Date: 2026-10-19
Changes:
- Declare exact GZ-owned crafting items and recipes in crafting_catalog.lua; organize them into curated semantic crafting rows.
- Do not claim third-party prototypes or generate crafting-tab ownership from prototype snapshot differences.
Version: 1.3.98
Date: 2026-10-19
Compatibility:
- Make Cargo Ships an optional dependency; preserve load ordering when installed.
- Apply the Cargo Ships-specific water_tile compatibility repair only when Cargo Ships is enabled.
Version: 1.3.97
Date: 2026-10-14
Changes:
- Change foundry steel to 10 iron plates + 1 carbon -> 10 steel plates.
- Make the canonical steel recipe available in both Crude Little Foundry and Space Age Foundry without sharing other crude-only recipes.
- Scale batch time to 160 seconds to preserve per-plate crafting time.
Version: 1.3.96
Date: 2026-10-14
Changes:
- Rebind Infrastructure's natural-gas geology weighting to Terra's final Nauvis river and cliff elevation expressions.
- Keep natural-gas deposits in ordinary Nauvis terrain by excluding Gleba, Rabbasca, Moshine and Vulcanus biome ownership; retain riverbank and mountain-side preference.
Version: 1.3.95
Date: 2026-10-14
Changes:
- Lock native sulfur and industrial sulfuric acid behind AOP Petrochemical Science, preserving early Clean-Coal wastewater acid recovery.
- Keep Processing Units available after recovered acid, before petrochemical facility construction, so the sulfur technology gate does not deadlock.
- Close the old Makeshift Chemical Lab sulfur bypass to require Catalyst-powered chemistry for post-petrochemical sulfur production.
- Make every green-science research technology also require blue science and halve its research unit count (including level-based research formulas).
Version: 1.3.94
Date: 2026-10-14
Recipes:
- Add dirty charcoal-to-carbon smelting (8 charcoal -> 1 carbon, 10 seconds, 12x recipe pollution).
- Available from the start in the Stone Furnace, Steel Furnace and Electric Furnace without requiring an assembler or petrochemistry.
- Restrict the recipe to those three furnace types via a dedicated category, without changing normal smelting or the efficient captured-pollution carbon route.
Version: 1.3.93
Date: 2026-10-14
Technology and recipes:
- Replace plastic and raw silicon in advanced circuits with two Moshine silicon cells, which are obtainable from basic circuits and silicon.
- Unlock Advanced Circuits through Moshine Silicon Cells, independently of post-green plastics and oil.
- Put AOP bitumen processing and petrochemical science downstream of advanced oil, and petrochemical science downstream of green science.
Version: 1.3.92
Date: 2026-10-13
Map generation:
- Make Moshine's default macro region scale (520 tiles), region coverage
(2.25), basin shaping, breakup continuity and start exclusion comparable
to Rabbasca instead of keeping a much smaller desert footprint.
- Match Rabbasca's ordinary-land eligibility and replace Moshine's hard
moisture/temperature rejection with a modest dry/hot preference.
- Hard-exclude existing Gleba island ownership to protect Yumako and
Jellynut farmland from the enlarged Moshine deserts.
- Keep the compact 22-tile mixed-ore pattern and 0.15%-16% ore probability,
which remain limited to the visible Moshine biome.
- Only newly generated terrain changes. Existing saves can retain old
terrain control settings; raising Moshine region Coverage may be needed.
Version: 1.3.91
Date: 2026-10-13
Map generation:
- Remove Moshine multi-ore's mismatched high-desert-owner threshold (0.34) and
independent patch-mask cutoff that could silently exclude visible desert regions.
- Admit multi-ore anywhere the Moshine desert itself appears (owner > 0.08),
using its existing 22-tile peak noise only for local concentration.
- Keep the 16% maximum ore tile chance and all existing resource controls and
richness scaling; add a 0.15% fallback inside visible desert so small
pockets cannot be completely denied by the patch-noise threshold.
- Off-desert placement remains forbidden. Newly generated chunks only.
Version: 1.3.90
Date: 2026-10-12
Map generation:
- Confine native Gleba copper stromatolites to sparse Gleba-only growth outside Yumako farmland.
- Halve the Moshine mixed-ore patch wavelength (44 -> 22 tiles) and reduce tile density to fit smaller desert biomes.
- Preserve mixed-ore richness and its existing frequency/size/richness controls.
Version: 1.3.89
Date: 2026-10-10
Fixes:
- Hard-exclude Rabbasca terrain from any Terra Gleba island ownership instead of using a soft overlap multiplier.
- Exclude Yumako and Jellynut fruit trees from Rabbasca's generic flora-suppression pass so Rabbasca can no longer suppress valid Gleba fruit-tree spawning.
Version: 1.3.88
Date: 2026-10-07
Fixes:
- Expose Harene Vents as a proper Nauvis resource autoplace control and bind the vent prototype to it.
- Rename the Rabbasca resource control from Harene Pools to Harene Vent in the map generator UI.
Version: 1.3.87
Date: 2026-10-07
Fixes:
- Bind Nauvis Carotenoid Ore directly to fertile Rabbasca terrain instead of generic global candidate placement.
- Rename Rabbasca's Carotenoids map-generator control to Carotenoid Ore for clarity.
Version: 1.3.86
Date: 2026-10-07
Fixes:
- Correct Nauvis Rabbasca resource-autoplace binding: resource prototype names and Rabbasca controls now use separate helper fields.
- Greatly increase Carotenoid Ore and Harene candidate density so tile-restricted Rabbasca regions reliably contain their resources.
- Keep Rabbasca native-planet resource autoplace untouched; Terra now overrides only Nauvis property expressions.
Version: 1.3.81
Date: 2026-10-07
Changes:
- Rewired Rabbasca terrain controls to match the Terrain Generator UI: Scale and Coverage only.
- Removed hidden third-axis terrain tuning and separated biome controls cleanly from Rabbasca resource controls.
Version: 1.3.80
Date: 2026-10-07
Bugfixes:
- Fixed Rabbasca terrain control noise references for hyphenated autoplace-control names.
Version: 1.3.79

- Increased the default Rabbasca regional envelope while keeping painted micro-patches capped in the tens of tiles.
Version: 1.3.78
Date: 2026-10-07
Changes:
- Expand the overall Rabbasca region scale using a broad bounded cluster envelope.
- Keep actual Rabbasca ownership in 20-40 tile micro-spots with much stronger breakup/detail erosion.
- Increase fine-scale internal Rabbasca tile mixing so larger regions remain mottled rather than becoming single-tile carpets.
Version: 1.3.76
Date: 2026-10-07
Changes:
- Shrink Rabbasca biome spots and increase edge breakup.
- Gate breakup noise inside bounded spots so it can only erode the biome, never extend it.
- Add fine-scale three-way fertile/rough/rough-2 tile mixing to prevent huge single-tile carpets.
Version: 1.3.75
Date: 2026-10-07
Fixes:
- Replaced the unbounded Rabbasca macro-noise biome selector with finite local spot regions.
- Rabbasca biome edges remain domain-warped and noise-eroded, but can no longer form continent-scale bands.
Version: 1.3.74
Date: 2026-10-07
Changes:
- Expanded Terra's Nauvis Rabbasca regions into full biomes with native Rabbasca decoratives, rocks, harenic sludge pools, and turbofish.
- Increased Carotenoid Ore and Harene Vent availability within Rabbasca terrain.
Version: 1.3.73
Date: 2026-10-06
Bugfixes:
- Replaced the unbounded Moshine macro-field intersection with bounded, domain-warped regional spot permission plus natural breakup, preventing continent-scale desert bands.
- Reduced Moshine multi-ore defaults, coverage, probability, and richness so deposits remain sparse resources inside the biome instead of carpeting it.
- Existing Nauvis surfaces now refresh Terra-owned Moshine mapgen property bindings on configuration change, preventing old saves from retaining stale giant-band selectors in newly generated chunks.
Version: 1.3.72
Date: 2026-10-06
Changes:
- Added irregular Rabbasca biome regions to Nauvis using Terra's proven domain-warped biome-owner pattern.
- Rabbasca fertile/rough terrain now carries carotenoid ore and Harene vents using Rabbasca's existing resource controls.
- Terra Rabbasca vaults/scrap are geographically gated into Rabbasca biome interiors.
Version: 1.3.71
Date: 2026-10-06
Changes:
- Moved the basic silicon recipe to ordinary smelting: 5 silica -> 1 silicon in the primitive/brick kiln, Steel Furnace, and Electric Furnace.
- Changed the Crude Little Foundry silicon recipe to 1 carbon + 5 silica -> 2 silicon, providing an early carbon sink.
- Removed Terra's obsolete Assembler 1 chemistry-category exception that existed only to bootstrap silicon.
Version: 1.3.70

Version: 1.3.66
Date: 2026-10-05
Changes:
- Stopped Terra from taking ownership/branding of Gizmod's shared MASTER crafting group; the canonical tab remains GZ.
Version: 1.3.65
Date: 2026-10-05
Changes:
- Routed Glass UI style selection through Gizmod's public Glass API.
Version: 1.3.64
Date: 2026-10-04
Changes:

- Crude Little Foundry now exposes only five solid-processing recipes: calcite-batched iron, calcite-batched copper, calcite-batched glass, silica-to-silicon, and 2 iron plates to 1 steel plate.
- Removed the Crude Little Foundry molten-metal, molten-glass, casting, and cast-pipe recipe set; full Foundry/Void Glass molten processing remains separate.
Version: 1.3.57
Date: 04. 10. 2026
Changes:
- Added a Terra-owned silica item prototype and icon so the primitive sand -> silica -> silicon chain is self-contained.
- Registered silica during the normal data stage before primitive-material recipes are finalized.
Version: 1.3.56
Date: 04. 10. 2026
Changes:
- Removed Terra Pipeworks exemptions for molten iron, molten copper, molten glass, and sulfuric acid.
- These fluids now use GZ Hazardous Materials default containment rules and require their appropriate dedicated pipe families.

Changes:
- Added 1:1 sand-to-silica crushing in the small Stone Crusher.
- Crude Little Foundry now batches 1 calcite + 50 ore/sand into 50 iron plates, copper plates, or glass.
- Added 2 silica -> 1 silicon in the Crude Little Foundry.
Version: 1.3.52
Date: 2026-10-02
Bugfixes:
- Marked ammonia as the main product of steam-stripping ammoniacal liquor so Factorio can infer the icon for the multi-output recipe.
- Audited Terra recipe literals for other multi-output recipes missing both an explicit icon and main product; no additional cases were found.
Version: 1.3.51
Date: 2026-10-02
Bugfixes:
- Consolidated duplicate locale section headers in the English locale file so Factorio can load the mod.
- Audited every Terra locale CFG for duplicate section names and duplicate keys.
Version: 1.3.49
Date: 2026-10-02
Changes:
- Restored Frozen Reaches shattered meteor deposits to Terra Nauvis.
- Land meteor-ore and submerged deep-meteor-ore share the canonical meteor-ore frequency/size/richness controls.
- Existing-save Nauvis mapgen synchronization now admits both meteor resources while preserving player slider values.
- Restored Crude Asteroid Crushing to its original mine-a-shattered-meteor research trigger.
Version: 1.3.47
Date: 2026-10-02
Changes:
- Rebuilt Moshine-on-Nauvis biome placement without spot noise or geometric region primitives.
- Replaced the union of two 2325-tile macro fields with intersecting, domain-warped regional fields targeting irregular ~1000-tile desert masses.
- Added mid-scale breakup and tighter ownership thresholds to prevent weak Moshine fringes from joining into multi-continent bands.
Version: 1.3.46

Changes:
- Restricted tungsten generation on mixed Nauvis to Terra's Vulcanus-owned terrain, including deep tungsten variants.
- Restricted holmium generation to 7500+ tiles from the world origin, including deep holmium variants.
- Biomass now spoils 1:1 into Putrefied Biomass; 1 putrefied biomass + 20 water produces 20 Ammoniacal Liquor.
- Added steam stripping: 20 Ammoniacal Liquor + 20 steam -> 1 ammonia + 20 water.
Version: 1.3.45
Date: 2026-10-02

Version: 1.3.36
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.
- Existing-save migration sweeps remain incremental at two chunks per tick.

- Restored Yumako Processing to the Yumako technology and Jellynut Processing to the Jellynut technology.
Version: 1.3.25
Date: 2026-09-27
Bugfixes:
- Fixed On Wayward Seas Lakebed Mulch being unplaceable on Terra terrain.
- 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.
- The Lumber yellow-belt alternate now uses a dedicated crafting category available to ordinary hand crafting, compatible assembling machines, the Space Age Foundry, and the Crude Little Foundry.
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.
- Removed PROJECT: Toroia branding and command alias from Terra/Hardmode while preserving legacy serialized prototype/storage IDs for save compatibility.
- Renamed Terra fishing/toolbelt Lua modules away from Toroia naming and repaired their runtime localization keys.
- Added the missing abandoned fishing hut recovery message.
Version: 1.3.14
Date: 2026-09-25
Changes:
- Terra Hardmode no longer owns fluid/item hazard registration. Flammable/explosive behavior now inherits the resolved Hazardous Materials registry exposed through GIZMOD.
- Removed Terra's standalone explosive-item registry/API; explosion/fire consequences remain in Terra.
Version: 1.3.13
Date: 2026-09-25
Changes:
- Advanced oxide asteroid crushing now unlocks with Space science pack, making calcite available on space platforms for foundry-based metal production.
Version: 1.3.12
Date: 2026-09-25
Compatibility:
- Replaced separate optional GZ Chemistry and GZ Pipeworks dependencies with GZ Hazardous Materials.
- 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.

Version: 1.2.34
Date: 2026-09-21
Changes:
- Changed Recycling to a scripted force-wide trigger that unlocks after 500 scrap has been produced/collected.

Date: 2026-09-20
Fixes:
- Relaxed Space Age surface conditions on plant prototypes in Nauvis-only progression, matching the existing recipe/entity relaxation.
