Changelog

Version: 0.6.9
Date: 2026-08-29
  Compatibility:
    - Krastorio compatibility tweaks and bugfixes again
    - If "Space science changes" are enabled, Space research data is now crafted using asteroid data analyzers
    - Electromagnetic research data charging recipe is now properly affected by the "Electromagnetic charging recipe time" setting.
    - Added "cryogenic tech card cooling" recipe to keep tech cards cold. It's relatively more expensive than keeping research data cold.

Version: 0.6.8
Date: 2026-08-28
  Compatibility:
    - Made the changes to cryogenic research data be accessible (assigned correctly the recipe to their technology)
      To balance out the extra challenge of having to keep cold data instead of cards, the cold data cooling recipe has been ajusted to be faster and slightly more efficient

Version: 0.6.7
Date: 2026-08-28
  Compatibility:
    - Expanded the Krastorio 2: Spaced Out compatibility to better keep the challenge added by challenging pack logistics.
      The following changes only apply when Krastorio 2 Spaced Out is installed.
    - Metallurgic Science: "Metallurgic research data" are affected by the Metallurgic tech card balance changes to prevent exploits.
      They use the same stack size and rocket capacity.
    - Electromagnetic Science: "Electromagnetic research data" needs to be charged in space before they're usable to craft Electromagnetic tech cards.
    - Agricultural Science: No changes necessary.
    - Cryogenic Science: "Cryogenic research data" spoils over time into "Hot cryogenic research data". They can be cooled down with ice and fluoroketone to get fresh cryogenic research data.
      They have the same spoil time and recipes as Cryogenic tech cards.
    - Dynamically change locale names when Krastorio 2 SO is installed for newly added items.

Version: 0.6.6
Date: 2026-08-27
  Features:
    - The mod can now affect agricultural science packs, if desired (default: false)
    - Agricultural science pack balance settings:
      Freshness affects research potential
      Set spoil time (mins)
    - Updated localization files
  Bugfixes:
    - "Charge time of Electromagnetic science packs" setting now correctly affects the electromagnetic science pack charging recipe, as expected. (Thanks derstilon for reporting this bug)
    - Made the spoil time of cryogenic science packs actually not affect their lab value

Version: 0.6.5
Date: 2026-08-18
  Bugfixes:
    - Removed productivity bonus on many recipes which did not warrant it
      Electromagnetic science pack charging
      Hot cryogenic pack cooling (ignored by stats)
      Cryogenic pack cooling (ignored by stats)
      Muluna interstellar pack priming (all recipes)
      Corrundum pack acidification/neutralization loops (ignored by stats)
    - Default import location for several items were changed to make more sense
      Low charge EM science pack => Fulgora
      Hot cryo science pack => Aquilo
      Unprimed interstellar science pack => Muluna
      Neutral/Super Acidic electrochemical science pack => Corrundum
    - Updated FR localization files

Version: 0.6.4
Date: 2026-08-14
  Bugfixes:
    - Corrundum's pack is now correctly called as an item instead of a tool

Version: 0.6.3
Date: 2026-07-10
  Bugfixes:
    - Removed the compatibility with Maraxsis
      Research vessels do not exist anymore, so it was not needed

Version: 0.6.2
Date: 2026-07-05
  Bugfixes:
    - Updated the compatibility with maraxsis
    - Made the spoil time of cryogenic science packs not affect their lab value

Version: 0.6.1
Date: 2026-07-04
  Bugfixes:
    - light error in changelogs

Version: 0.6.0
Date: 2026-07-04
  Compatibility:
    - Now for Factorio 2.1

Version: 0.5.1
Date: 2026-07-01
  Compatibility:
    - Made the optional changes to Space science packs work with BetterSpaceScience for those who seek maximum challenge (Idea put together with Cubickman)

Version: 0.5.0
Date: 2026-07-01
  Features:
    - Space science packs can now be made optionally substantially harder to make, requiring automated rocket logistic and a setup to handle space materials on the ground (Idea inspired by Sarge945's request)
      This change may be enabled in the mod settings, it is off by default as it does make space science much more expensive compared to its base game counterpart

Version: 0.4.2
Date: 2026-06-18
  Features:
    - Updated localization files.
    - Fixed changelog.
    - Finally added alternate card sprites for krastorio 2 spaced out compatibility. (#itjustworks)

Version: 0.4.1
Date: 2026-06-10
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed a math function not being called properly, causing the mod to not load correctly with maraxsis

Version: 0.4.0
Date: 2026-06-10
  Info:
    - This update mostly moves around files, fixes little inconsistencies the mod had, and adds setting so that you can customize your experience. 
  Features:
    - Main new setting: Each science pack changes can be enabled/disabled individually (enabled by default)
      This includes cross-compatibility changes
    - New balance settings:
      Metallurgic science pack "stack size" (default: 30) & "rocket capacity" (default: 600)
      Electromagnetic science pack "charging recipe crafting time" (default: 10s)
      Cryogenic science pack "heating time" (spoil time ; default: 10 mins)
      Corrundum compat: Electrochemical pack spoiling time (default: 5 mins)
  Changes:
    - Rewritting of a good chunk of my code and the way alternate sprites are loaded to make it easier to read
    - Minor rebalancing of the metallurgic research vessels added by maraxsis
    - Low charge packs charging recipe: surface restriction now tied to gravity, not pressure (does not change anything in the base game, just helps with other mods)
    - Low charge packs recipe: now have the same restrictions as the base game EM packs (99% EM field and not 95-100%, same thing as the previous change)

  Compatibility:
