Date: 2026-04-23
  Changes:
    - Refreshed the packaged Mod Portal thumbnail art for the release zip.
    - Bumped the release package version for re-upload without changing the authored starmap rewrite content.

Version: 0.46.5

Version: 0.46.4
Date: 2026-04-22
  Changes:
    - Final starmap polish pass for the fresh authored-system rewrite.
    - Tightened Terminus so Solar System Edge, Dea Dia branch, and the Shattered lane read as one cleaner finale region.
    - Pulled Pyraxis slightly inward and shortened local hazard routes to reduce the visual dominance of Crucible high-altitude orbit.

Version: 0.46.3
Date: 2026-04-22
  Changes:
    - Finalized the release-cleanup build for the fresh rewrite line.
    - Corrected package folder naming for distribution so the archive uses the canonical mod folder name.

Version: 0.46.2
Date: 2026-04-22
  Changes:
    - Added the missing Solara local route chain so Igrys is no longer left visually orphaned.
    - Tightened the Solara local cluster by pulling Moshine, Igrys, Panglia, and Rabbasca into a clearer linked lane.
    - Tightened Myridian local spacing around Tellus, Cerys, Pelagos, Vesta, and Terra Palus.
    - Added an extra Myridian local route so Terra Palus reads as an intentional member of the chapter instead of a loose side body.

Version: 0.46.1
Date: 2026-04-22
  Changes:
    - Marked the fresh rewrite as a portal-candidate build.
    - Refreshed release-facing metadata, README, and supported-pack notes for the authored chapter-system branch.
    - Added Mod Portal description and release checklist files for packaging and public release prep.
    - Kept the 0.45.x fresh rewrite structure centered on authored systems, slipstreams, chapter science packs, and Tellus integration.

Version: 0.45.14
Date: 2026-04-22
  Changes:
    - Polished the authored finale-side composition without changing the fresh rewrite architecture.
    - Tightened Pyraxis world spacing and shortened the local hazard corridor routes around Secretas, Crucible, Hyarion, and Foliax.
    - Tightened Terminus orbital placement for Solar System Edge, Dea Dia, Prosephina, and the Shattered/Lost Beyond lane.
    - Shortened the chapter slipstream bridge lengths again so the inter-system backbone reads less stretched on the starmap.

Version: 0.45.13
Date: 2026-04-22
  Changes:
    - Stabilized and tightened the authored chapter-system layout without changing the fresh rewrite structure.
    - Recentered Myridian, Viridion, Pyraxis, and Terminus for cleaner lane spacing and less route sprawl.
    - Tightened the Dea Dia and Shattered branches so the finale side reads more like a deliberate Terminus composition.
    - Shortened slipstream bridge lengths and several local chapter routes to reduce the worst long-haul arcs.

Version: 0.45.11
Date: 2026-04-22
  Changes:
    - Polished the fresh rewrite starmap layout with tighter system spacing and clearer chapter lanes.
    - Switched chapter bridge routes to slipstream-to-slipstream connections for a cleaner authored system backbone.
    - Tightened Viridion, Pyraxis, Dea Dia, and Shattered route lengths and orbital placement for better readability.

Version: 0.45.10
Date: 2026-04-22
  Changes:
    - Broke the Aquilo/cryogenic technology cycle by removing native science technology prerequisites from chapter survey technologies.
    - Frontier, specialist, hazard, and terminus surveys now depend on the previous survey step instead of native pack technologies that loop back through discovered worlds.


Version: 0.45.9
Date: 2026-04-22
  Changes:
    - Broke the Muluna/core survey cycle by removing Solara's dependency on the space-science-pack technology.
    - Removed IPO gating from Muluna discovery so Muluna can follow its native progression without feeding back into Solara.
    - Simplified Solara survey science ingredients to base-game science packs so the first chapter is researchable.

Version: 0.45.8
Date: 2026-04-22
  Fixes:
    - Skip and remove generated space connections whose endpoints do not exist in the current mod set.
    - Prevent missing-location routes like crucible-hyarion from surviving into assignID.


Version: 0.45.7
Date: 2026-04-22
  Fixes:
    - Coerce space-connection endpoints to plain prototype names so rewritten routes like crucible-hyarion always use string from/to values.

Version: 0.45.6
Date: 2026-04-22
  Changes:
    - Made Planetaris: Tellus a hard dependency instead of optional.
    - Retained the fresh rewrite science ingredient fix from 0.45.4.
    - Retained the space-connection icon autofill fix from 0.45.5.

Version: 0.45.4
Date: 2026-04-22
  Fixes:
    - Fixed survey technology unit.ingredients to use Factorio list-form science pack entries.
    - Resolved the ipo-core-system-discovery load failure caused by object-form ingredient entries.

Version: 0.45.3
Date: 2026-04-22
  Fixes:
    - Fixed PlanetsLib layout updates in the fresh rewrite to update orbit data instead of deprecated top-level distance/orientation fields.

Version: 0.45.0
Date: 2026-04-22
  Major Features:
    - Fresh rewrite branch with a clean file set and authored chapter-system layout.
    - Added Solara, Myridian, Viridion, Pyraxis, and Terminus systems with slipstreams and system graphics.

  Changes:
    - Rebuilt the managed starmap around canonical chapter clusters using Razi Protocol as the reference model.
    - Added targeted compatibility routes for Muluna, Shattered Planet, and Dea Dia edge handling.
    - Removed the old stacked IPO route cleanup, campaign board, and runtime helper layers from this rewrite branch.
  Bugfixes:
    - Avoided the earlier unlock-space-location issues by only unlocking slipstreams, not the system anchors themselves.
    - Added a migration to reset technologies and recipes for the chapter rewrite.

    - Fixed rewritten space-connection prototypes to always carry a valid icon/icon_size.
