Version: 1.3.8
Date: 12/12/25
  Bugfixes:
    - Hotfix for servers running the game with no players online.

Version: 1.3.7
Date: 12/12/25
  Changes:
    - Improved train item insertion logic.
    - Extended the tooltip for the locomotive trading button in the hex core GUI to make it clearer that the number of cargo wagons allowed per train trade is limited but upgradeable.
  Gui:
    - Reworked Quantum Bazaar interface.
  Balancing:
    - Increased the requirements for most "total item rank" quests.
    - Multiplied the loot value of dungeon chests on all planets by 10x, effectively upgrading all rolled loot items by one quality level.
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed rare crash with output buffer unloading.
    - Fixed that train trading input inventory wasn't limited like output inventory.
    - Fixed train item insertion direction for double-ended trains making trades.
    - Fixed the gun turrets spawning incorrectly for the deathworld mod setting.

Version: 1.3.6
Date: 11/12/25
  Minor Features:
    - Added item buffs for locomotives and cargo wagons.
    - Extended the functionality of the claim tool: Hold shift while selecting to also try to claim hexes that don't have hex cores yet (but will when intermediate hexes get claimed), and use RMB to remove hexes from the claim queue.
  Changes:
    - Unvisited surfaces no longer have an entry in the JSON trades export.
    - The clear filters button in the trade overview now leaves your planet filters alone unless all planets are toggled off.
    - Hex cores are now able to make "sequences" of trades in one processing tick from the first trade to the last.
        For example, if there's a coin-to-coal trade and a coal-to-stone trade below it, then the coal obtained from the coin-to-coal trade will immediately be available to the coal-to-stone trade.
  Balancing:
    - Limited the number of wagons that a train can use in trading.
    - Buffed crystalline fuel's effect on train speed and acceleration.
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed that trading was sometimes blocked by output buffers, affecting both trains and hex cores.
    - Fixed that multiple trades could occur at the same time consuming the same items at the same time, only removing items for the cost of one of the trades.

Version: 1.3.5
Date: 11/12/25
  Major Features:
    - Integrated locomotives into the trading nexus:
        Cargo wagons of trains at a train stop now serve as substitute inventories for the hex core in the same hex as the train stop.
        Upon arrival at a stop, if the associated hex core is set to allow trading with trains, the train's inventories will be used for trading.
  Changes:
    - Made the output buffer loading smarter, preventing from trading too many stacks of items at once.
        (e.g. buying cars with hexaprism coins doesn't put billions of cars into the output buffer that'll take an eternity to unload.)

Version: 1.3.4
Date: 10/12/25
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed rare crash around the mod's GUIs. (again)

Version: 1.3.3
Date: 9/12/25

    - Fixed rare crash around the mod's GUIs.

Version: 1.3.2

  Major Features:
    - Added item buffs for lightning rods and lightning collectors.  This buff unlocks and enhances passive coin accumulation in player inventories based on current net coin generation rate through trading.
    - Added quest reward on Vulcanus which allows teleporting to hex cores on other planets as long as there are no items in your inventory (except your equipped armor and weapons).
  Features:
    - Added ability to favorite trades by clicking the trade arrow.  Favorited trades always show at the top of the trade overview list if they pass the filter as per usual.
  Minor Features:
    - Teleportation to hex cores now works while inside a spidertron or other vehicle, bringing the vehicle with you.
    - Added hotkeys for opening/closing the questbook, catalog, and trade overview.
    - Added button in the catalog for opening the trade overview with the selected item set in the filter, the side depending on what remains to be done for ranking up the item.
    - Added button in trade overview for swapping sides of the filter.
    - Added quest for teaching how to favorite a trade and what favoriting a trade does.
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed that dungeon laser and tesla turrets were frozen on Aquilo.
    - Fixed rare crash with GUI management.
  Changes:
    - Swapped the meanings of the bronze star halves in item ranks.
  Balancing:
    - The Quantum Bazaar no longer lets you buy items of qualities that you haven't yet unlocked.  Selling items of locked qualities is still allowed.
    - Fixed that "upgrade all item buffs" could get stuck in an infinite loop and crash the game.
  Gui:
    - Added notes to the rewards unlocking the sink and generator modes to indicate the trade-offs of using them, allowing for a more concise description of each mode.
    - Changed the checkmarks and X's for the buy/sell rank-up instructions to checkboxes which check off and gray out when completed.

Version: 1.3.1
Date: 6/12/25
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed that quest progress was getting reset upon updating to some versions of the mod.
        This version recalculates some important quest progress like catalog completion.

Version: 1.3.0
Date: 6/12/25
  Major Features:
    - Added the electromagnetic penetrator handheld weapon.
  Minor Features:
    - Added the "ping in chat" button for trades in the trade overview.
    - Added mod settings for tweaking trade productivity requirements for ranking up items.
    - Added mod settings for scaling dungeon chest loot value.
  Changes:
    - The Sentient Spider is now equipped with six electromagnetic penetrators instead of one (buffed) teslagun.
    - Changed Sentient Spider recipe to reflect its new abilities.
    - Recalculated item values on Aquilo and Fulgora.
    - Clicking an item in a trade while a hex core is open now opens the trade overview instead of the catalog.
    - Dungeon hexes no longer contribute to the total trades found, preventing from quickly completing the "Find Some Trades" quest.
    - Removed the map colors of hexlights and hexports.
    - The item selector for trade contents in the trade overview now only shows items that can be found in trades.
    - Made the tooltips for the sink and generator buttons more concise.
    - Due to game engine performance issues on saves with thousands of trades showing in the trade overview, the maximum is now 250 total trades to be shown.
        This does not affect filtering or which trades are searched; it only keeps you from lagging the game with more UI elements than you could ever need.
    - Increased Sentient Spider equipment grid size from 12x10 to 12x12.
  Gui:
    - Horizontally centered the "Bonuses" text in the catalog.
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed crash when viewing red star ranked items if your character is missing (in editor mode, god mode, etc.).
    - Fixed crash when trying to sell the item stack in your hand at the Quantum Bazaar when nothing is held.
    - Fixed hexlights and hexports remaining after hex core deletion.
    - Fixed hexlights causing collision clipping at the corners of hex cores.
    - Fixed missing localization for inserter capacity in the item buffs.
    - Fixed resource patches floating over marsh tiles on Gleba.
    - Fixed scaling bugs in UI across different display scales.
    - Fixed broken rich text in item tooltips of quest rewards when questbook is viewed from space.
    - Added the missing value for iron ore on Fulgora.
        This was fixed by including the concrete recycling recipe as well as other common recycling recipes in the item value solver.
        As a result, the extra iron obtained from concrete and electronic circuits has shifted the relative item values drastically.
    - Fixed that the total produced/consume items statistics in hex cores was incrementing more than it should (this was related to the frame stutters).
    - Fixed that flying text was emitting more often than it should (same issue as above).
  Optimizations:
    - Decreased batch sizes and processing intervals, reducing the risk of frame stutters on large saves.
    - Decreased number of UI layout updates in the trade overview for the same number of trades listed. O(n^2) -> less O(n^2), but substantial improvement.
    - Optimized trade overview "exact" filtering. Small improvement.
    - Optimized trade overview planet filtering. ~2x speedup.
    - Optimized trade processing output buffering. Fixes root cause of largest stutters.
    - Optimized trade processing coin calculations. Small improvement.
    - Optimized hex core pool management (implemented load balancing). Substantial improvement on some saves.

    - Added "Enable Hexports" selection tool, allowing for large-scale enabling or disabling of hexports.
    - Added filters in trade overview for filtering out non-interplanetary trades, trades in dungeon hexes, and trades that are either in "sink" or "generator" hex cores.
  Minor Features:
    - Added "total belting distance", "sink / generator", and "dungeon" info to the output of /simple-trade-loops, as they are fast calculations.
  Balancing:
    - Made the stack inserter item buff require one less upgrade to have another effect on top of the initial unlock.
    - Slightly increased the range of dungeon gun turrets.
    - Slightly decreased the range of dungeon flamethrower and laser turrets.

    - Changed the quest reward of "Catalog Initiate" which gives +10% trade productivity to give +5% instead.
    - Changed the default mod settings for planet-based trade productivity bonuses to start from 0% on Nauvis instead of -20%, with the intention to reduce confusion for new players of the mod.
        The default settings are now:
          Nauvis = 0%
          Vulcanus = 5%
          Fulgora = 10%
          Gleba = 15%
          Aquilo = 20%
    - Revised item rank up requirements:
        Bronze - unchanged (buy and sell item once)
        Silver - buy this item using a trade with at least +30% productivity
        Gold - unchanged (electrocute an enemy unit near a trade involving this item with +70% productivity)
        Red - sell this item using a trade with at least +120% productivity
  Changes:

    - Made the /simple-trade-loops command public.

    - Reformatted output from /simple-trade-loops.
    - Changed the default hex pool size from 1000 to 250, allowing for larger saves before noticing potential UPS drops from all the trading.
    - Changed the rocket capacities of all coins to their respective stack sizes.
    - Dungeon hex cores now spawn immediately when the dungeon generates, giving them a glow.
    - The quest "Biter Rammer" now also gives 50 magmatic round magazines as a reward.
    - Moved some of the starting trades on Nauvis to adjacent hexes.
    - Hexports are no longer enabled globally upon unlocking them and instead require toggling each one, most easily done via the hexport tool.
        Hexports still automatically toggle on for newly claimed hexes.
    - Increased Fulgora concrete filling ratio between hexes to compensate for the lost area in the claimed hexes due to a bugfix.
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed that dungeons invisibly occupied some hexes just outside of themselves, preventing you from claiming them.
    - Fixed that hex cores did not correctly show whether the hexports were currently enabled.
    - Fixed crash on running the command /hextorio-debug when in remote view.
    - Fixed various crashes with incorrect command use.
    - Fixed that updating the mod settings for planet-based trade productivity bonuses would not take effect without a restart.
    - Fixed floating point rounding errors around 0 for trade productivity.
    - Fixed that item-giving quests would not drop a remainder of a stack if the inventory is nearly full instead of only dropping entire stacks that wouldn't fit.

    - Fixed that hexports were showing vulnerability to lightning strikes on Fulgora.
    - Fixed crash caused by other mods removing or restructuring title screen music.

  Gui:
    - Trade arrows display nonzero productivity without mousing over them.
    - Softened the white and cyan trade arrow sprites.
    - Removed the boxes around each trade, de-cluttering the hex core GUI and trade overview.
    - Moved the trade arrow's tooltip to a more obvious location that's below the trade, having the sprite of a productivity module.
    - Added button for pinging trades.
    - Improved trade overview layout.
    - Some trade overview filters that become irrelevant under certain conditions are now grayed out, e.g. "max output trades" slider grays out when "exact outputs match" is enabled.

  Optimizations:
    - Optimized dungeon turret reloading.
    - Optimized ahead-of-time chunk generation around players.

    - Added command parameter aliases: in-hand, here
        in-hand: This parameter takes the value of whatever item you're holding.
        here: This parameter takes the value of whatever planet your character is currently on.
        Useful for when setting values for modded items but you don't know what the hyphenated names are:
        /set-item-value in-hand 100 here
  Minor Features:
    - Added two mod settings, "Default Trade Quality" and "Increment Trade Quality", to control how trade quality bounds are initialized or managed.

Version: 1.1.2
Date: 29/9/25
  Features:
    - Added quest "Catalog Professional".
  Minor Features:
    - Added command /simple-trade-loops, which dumps to the script-output all existing two-trade loops in your game involving only two items at a time.
        Faster and more convenient than analyzing trade JSON exports yourself, but less useful since no metrics are measured.
    - When pinging an interplanetary trade in chat or creating a tag for one, the blue arrow is now used instead of the gray arrow.
  Changes:
    - Revised item rank up requirements:
        Bronze - unchanged (buy and sell item once)

  Gui:
    - Trade productivity details now show when the sum is 0% if there are nonzero modifiers contributing to that zero sum.
  Bugfixes:

        Single-hex loops of three trades or more are still possible but are very unlikely, and detection of such more heavily impacts performance.
    - Fixed a bug in random trade volume sampling, making higher valued items show up in trades closer to the center of each planet.
    - Fixed the planet listing method for the silver bonus description in the catalog so that modded surfaces don't show up.

    - Fixed quest condition checking for getting items to specific ranks.
    - Fixed that the hex core GUI would initially show for steel chests upon loading a save.

    - Changed Sentient Spider inventory size to 120 (50% higher than spidertron).
    - Trimmed the number of tiles that can be used in per-player tile settings for claiming hexes.

    - Changed demolisher capsule craft time from 1s to 20s.
    - Significantly reduced explosion damage to dungeon turrets.
  Ease of use:
    - Clicking on the "find trade" button in the trade overview now immediately takes your remote view to the relevant hex core and opens it up for you.

    - Added more quests and rewards.
    - Added plague rockets ammo, technology, recipe, smoke/particle effect, and catalog entry. (used by Gleba dungeon turrets)
    - Added magmatic bullets ammo, technology, recipe, special effect, and catalog entry. (used by Vulcanus dungeon turrets)
  Changes:

    - [item=firearm-magazine] and [item=piercing-rounds-magazine] are now also craftable in [entity=foundry].
    - Demolisher tech no longer requires production science like most other military techs.
  Balancing:
    - Lower-valued trades are now more common in the more distant hexes from spawn on all planets.
    - Fewer of the more distant hexes than the ones near spawn have resources, on all planets.
  Optimizations:
    - Greatly optimized hex generation and overall UPS.
    - Further optimized hex generation ahead of time in uncharted areas (for charting at fast speeds).

Version: 0.4.2
Date: 1/6/25
  Features:
    - Added many more quests and rewards.
    - Added button in catalog to open the item in the Factoriopedia.
  Minor Features:
    - The parameter to the /hex-pool-size command can now be omitted to check the current hex pool size.
  Changes:
    - Sentient Spider is now equipped with 1x [item=teslagun] instead of 4x [item=rocket-launcher].
    - Sentient Spider now has a larger equipment grid.
    - Trades can now only be made with researched qualities.
    - Changed silver rank bonus to guarantee at least one interplanetary trade for every item on every planet.
    - Clicking on an item in a trade when viewed in a hex core now opens up that item in the catalog instead of the Factoriopedia.
    - There is now a confirmation for switching hex core modes to avoid accidental changes.
  Gui:
    - Changed the sink and generator mode icons.
    - Changed the red star rank bonus description.
    - Removed the line that separated quest conditions and rewards from the labels.

    - Fixed that setting /hex-pool-size had no effect on UPS.
  Balancing:
    - Supercharging is now unlocked on [planet=vulcanus].
    - Quality trades now have a trade productivity decrement based on the tier of quality, e.g. an uncommon trade loses 35% productivity.
      Negative productivity will decrease the trade's output rate, e.g. -100% prod means 1/2 of normal output rate, -200% prod means 1/3 of normal output rate, etc.
      This prevents the exploit of quickly generating unlimited [item=hexaprism-coin] on Nauvis before you have to visit other planets.
    - Trade productivity bars are now tracked separately for each quality, preventing easy exploits for high quality items.
    - The spawn hex on [planet=gleba] now generates with a starting amount of [entity=yumako-tree] and [entity=jellystem].

    - [planet=vulcanus], [planet=fulgora], and [planet=gleba] now have finite planet size.

    - Removed tree seeds from trade generation on [planet=nauvis].
    - Removed discharge defense equipment from trade generation on all planets except [planet=fulgora]. (IT IS BUFFED)
  Balancing:
    - Buffed [item=discharge-defense-equipment]. It now functions as a personal tesla turret like Wube Software probably would have originally intended, given that it has always been an electric beam weapon.
    - Buffed [item=destroyer-capsule]. It now functions as a flying tesla turret like Wube Software probably would have originally intended, given that it has always used an electric beam weapon.
    - Buffed [item=teslagun]. It is now actually an upgrade from [item=submachine-gun].

        Normal in, normal out. Rare in, rare out, etc.
        Only one trade is needed for all qualities. Works up to the hex core's quality.
        Coins do not have quality, so they multiply for each quality tier.
        NOTE: Quality purchases require more coins than the coins obtained from selling at the same quality.
        (This is a default mod setting to prevent an infinite coin exploit.)
    - Dropdown added to hex cores for viewing trades with different qualities on the items, particularly used to see how coin inputs and outputs are affected by quality.
    - Production statistics now include the statistics of currently active trading on each surface.
    - Added selection tool for claiming hexes.
  Minor Features:
    - Planets now show in item tooltips to indicate that the item value is strongly tied to that planet.

    - Clicking on any ping in chat that's on a hex core brings up that hex core's GUI.
    - When viewing a hex core, clicking on an item in a trade brings up that item in the Factoriopedia.
  Features:
    - When viewing the trade overview, clicking on an item in a trade sets the filter to that item on the opposite side of the trade.
      For example, you click on an input item for a trade, it sets the trade overview filter so that you can see trades that let you obtain that item.
      Helps to quickly find trade loops.
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed that input loaders on the sides of hex cores weren't working.
    - Fixed that new trades that should have productivity didn't.
