Version: 1.0.4
Date: September 24, 2026
  Changes:

Version: 1.0.3
Date: September 11, 2026
  Changes:
    - Made Redrawn Space Connections Optional, instead of Recommended.
      This is to avoid Outer Rim chain-loading into RSC
      This configuration is incompatible without Redrawn Space Compatibility.

    - Fixed compatibility with talandar's True Ending is Shattered Planet mod.
Version: 1.0.2
Date: September 10, 2026
  Minor Features:
    - Added secondary asteroid belt crossing when Muria and Paracelsin are enabled.
      Ported logic from Redrawn Space Compatiblity. Compatible with Outer Rim.
  Changes:
    - Set Cubium as Vesta Moon setting to disabled by default.
      This is to ensure the default settings do not cause issues, when resetting mod settings to default.
    - Added compatibility checks on load, for when Redrawn Space Compatibility is required to fix issues.
      This currently only includes the following mod/setting combinations:
      Redrawn Space Connections + Outer Rim
      Outer Rim + Cubium as Vesta Moon
    - Added automatic exclusion for asteroid belts under the format: xx-belt-inner-edge and xx-belt-outer-edge.
    - Added production and utility science packs to Asteroid Belt discovery tech cost.
      Both packs were already required for the Advanced Asteroid Processing prereq tech.
    - Added Asteroid Reprocesing as a prereq tech for Asteroid Belt discovery.
      This was already required for Aquilo discovery, so it makes sense to move it here.
  Bugfixes:
    - Corrected year in changelog dates. I need to update my default template.
Version: 1.0.1
Date: September 9, 2026
  Bugfixes:
    - Hopefully prevented an infinite loop from occuring while loading, when attempting to generate connections between orphaned planets/locations.
    - Fixed several issues when Outer Rim was loaded with or without RSC and/or RSCompat, and several outer planet mods.
  Minor Features:
    - Added setting to move Cubium to the outer planets, similar to Maraxsis.
      Also adds another setting to attach Cubium to Vesta as a moon (using Orbital Cannon links, if enabled).
    - Added Exploration Science as a required science pack for Asteroid Belt discovery, if Muluna is enabled.
  Changes:
    - Added PlanetsLib: Additional Orbits as a required mod, for this setting to work.
