Version: 2.8.0
Date: 2026-10-01
  Features:
    - Added a setting for charging pads per Roboport Productivity level (default 4).
    - Added an energy research cost multiplier setting (default 1).
  Changes:
    - Energy roboports have 4 robot slots (was 0).
    - Idle robots rest and recharge there instead of queueing at the single pad of logistical roboports.
    - Roboports gain charging pads from quality.
    - Roboports restart after running out of power at 30MJ for energy roboports and 50MJ for logistical roboports (vanilla 40MJ). Removed the Recharge Minimum Modifier setting.
    - Fixed Roboport input flow being too low in certain cases.
    - Research levels default to 6 per (was 9). The hard limit is 12. Changed settings are kept.
    - Technology levels that need the same science packs are one multi-level technology. Research cost per level is unchanged.
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed robots piling up at logistical roboports when the network is overloaded. Busy energy roboports ran out of power and stayed off until they recharged.
    - Fixed robots and repair packs being deleted when a roboport is replaced by hr-uninstall, hr-reset, or a research upgrade.
    - Items that no longer fit are spilled and marked for deconstruction.
  Info:
    - Existing research carries over. Roboports above the new limit drop to it. Robots and repair
      packs that no longer fit are spilled and marked for deconstruction. To keep levels 7 to 9, set
      Research Maximum and every per-axis limit to 9 before loading your save.

Version: 2.7.1
Date: 2026-07-15
  Changes:
    - Recipes use 25 electronic circuits instead of 100 steel plates. Energy roboports also need
      75 batteries, logistical roboports 1 storage chest.
    - Requires heroic-library 2.1.0.

Version: 2.7.0
Date: 2026-07-05
  Changes:
    - Requires heroic-library 2.0.0. No gameplay changes.

Version: 2.6.0
Date: 2026-07-02
  Changes:
    - Updated for Factorio 2.1 (now requires base >= 2.1).
    - Removed the manual Roboport Updater tool and shortcut; roboports are now tracked and
      upgraded automatically, so the tool is no longer needed.
    - Logistical roboport upgrades are now a late-game progression. With Space Age: tier 1
      requires the axis's planet science pack, tier 2 adds Aquilo (cryogenic) science, tier 3+
      adds promethium science, and tier 4+ additionally require science packs from other mods.
      Without Space Age: tier 1 requires utility science, tier 2 adds space science, tier 3+
      adds other-mod packs. Each tier's ingredients now include its prerequisite science packs.
    - Added the research-cost-multiplier setting (default 2): logistical research cost scales as
      cost * (1 + level * multiplier).
    - Added the research-tier-seed setting: deterministically assigns other-mod science packs to
      higher logistical tiers, consistent across multiplayer clients.
    - Moved technology effect descriptions into locale files.
    - Fixed a long load-time hang while building roboport variants

Version: 2.5.0
Date: 2026-07-02
  Changes:
    - In short: big performance improvement, especially for games with many roboports.
      Rewrote roboport tracking: all mod roboports are now recorded in a storage-backed registry,
      seeded by a full surface scan on first install and kept in sync via build/removal events.
    - Research now updates only the affected force's roboports from the registry (no full surface
      rescan on every research), throttled through a batched upgrade queue.
    - Added the upgrade-batch-size setting and made upgrade-timers to control how much and 
      how often roboports are upgraded after research.
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed hr-uninstall crashing; it now reverts all roboports to vanilla and suppresses
      re-upgrades for 10 seconds.
    - Fixed blueprint/ghost handling to use the correct inner_name when resolving ghosts.
    - Fixed module tier detection to use the max tier per module type and no longer crash when
      module types have differing tier counts.
    - Guarded all entity replacements against failed creation.
