Overhauls the quality and recycling systems, introduces new technologies, and makes various other gameplay tweaks.
Small changes concerning balance, gameplay, or graphics.
Version: 1.0.11
Date: 02.08.2026
Changes:
- Removed scaling recycling times because Factorio Space Age v2.1.13 now "scale[s] recycle time with item result count".
Version: 1.0.10
Date: 02.08.2026
Bugfixes:
- Another recycling recipe fix/adjustment to that it works if a recycling recipe results have min/max.
Version: 1.0.9
Date: 02.08.2026
Changes:
- Allow player to launch themselves to space platforms with inventory.
Version: 1.0.8
Date: 29.07.2026
Changes:
- Adjusted the prerequisites of technologies introduced in this mod so that they don't show up as available until the sciences to complete them are available.
Bugfixes:
- Fixed an issue with the recycler changes when the original recipe doesn't output a set amount.
Version: 1.0.7
Date: 27.07.2026
Changes:
- Adjusted furnace quality upgrade recipes so that they show up in Factoriopedia correctly (even though they are hidden).
- Fluid quality recipes now unlock via a hidden technology so that when you only have uncommon/rare qualities you can't select epic/legendary fluid recipes.
- Recipes with only fluid outputs no longer accept quality modules.
Bugfixes:
- Fixed a potential issue with quality levels not being applied in the correct order.
- Quality fluid output recipes that also have item outputs will now correctly map the item quality to the input item quality (only affected molten iron/copper from lava, for the stone output).
- Recipes with only fluid inputs now allow the output item to raise in quality level if using quality modules (previously it was locked to a specific quality level).
Version: 1.0.6
Date: 20.07.2026
Bugfixes:
- Filled barrel recycling recipes are removed from all technologies.
Version: 1.0.5
Date: 20.07.2026
Bugfixes:
- Calcite quality upgrade recipe now has a localization name/description.
Minor Features:
- Adjusted how recycling recipe fixing works to be faster and more reliable.
- Adjusted how the quality upgrade recipes work - there are now separate recipes for each quality tier.
- Added `deconstruction_alternative` to the custom quality items so that they don't show up in the deconstruction planner and instead can be deconstructed using the regular item.
Info:
- Removed `quality_required` from mod info - the `quality` dependency already includes this requirement, so it was redundant.
Version: 1.0.4
Date: 15.07.2026
Bugfixes:
- Scrap recycling recipe crafting time and results aren't adjusted unless the scrap recycling recipe can actually be fixed.
Minor Features:
- Scrap recycling crafting time, ingredient amounts, and results amounts are reduced by the greatest common denominator if possible.
Version: 1.0.3
Date: 15.07.2026
Bugfixes:
- Recycling logic is more error-proof to allow it to work with other mods.
Minor Features:
- Players do not receive the default gun/ammo when respawning after a death.
Version: 1.0.2
Date: 13.07.2026
Changes:
- Changed/removed the catalyst system for liquid-only input recipes - to produce higher quality output, it now just requires more of the liquid input. The new recipes can be found in the `House Fire Quality Group`, similar to how liquid-only output recipes work.
- Changed the way solid-to-liquid quality recipes calculates the output, it now uses the efficiency setting and the upgrade ratio to determine the output.
- Added a setting to increase the output of the liquid-to-solid quality recipes. Default is 4. This scales linearly.
- Added a setting to increase the crafting time of solid-to-liquid quality recipes. Default is 100%. This scales linearly.
Version: 1.0.1
Date: 12.07.2026
Changes:
- Changed the catalyst for `casting-iron` and `casting-copper` to calcite since Vulcanus doesn't have iron/copper ore.
- Calcite quality can now be upgraded in the quality forge.
- Moved ice quality upgrading from the quality forge to the quality biochamber as it makes slightly more sense that way.
Version: 1.0.0
Date: 10.07.2026
Features:
- Initial release.
