    - Dual Carriageway research and tiles.
Version: 0.1.21
Date: Yore
  Changes:
    - Path graphics update.

Version: 0.1.20
Date: Yore
  Changes:
    - BUGFIX: nil mod.players reference
    - BUGFIX: yield icon broken in 0.1.19
Version: 0.1.19
Date: Yore
  Changes:
    - BEHAVIOUR CHANGE: Removed group-specific paths and turns. See stickers for the same result.
    - BUGFIX: Burner carts now always run out of fuel, rather than sometimes stopping with slightly >0 supply.
    - Added stop types to perform logistics-chest-like operations on normal chests.
    - Added tile stickers to direct carts based on contents and equipment.
    - Grass paths eventually wear down to grass-4 (mod setting).
    - Split out stops, stickers and turns research.
    - Increased tile stack sizes.
Version: 0.1.18
Date: Yore
  Changes:
    - Base tile recipes on untinted paint.
    - Virtual signal T sets trunk filtered slots from other signals.
    - Virtual signal G sets grid group equipment from other signals.
    - Added *optional route (fuel)* tiles.
    - UPS savings when off-road.
    - Recipe cost balancing.
Version: 0.1.17
Date: Yore
  Changes:
    - Added *continue off road* light green paint tile. Carts will continue straight until another path is encountered.
    - Added trial group-specific *optional route* tiles, to allow directing cart groups using only paint.
    - Further reduce burner cart fuel efficiency.
Version: 0.1.16
Date: Yore
  Changes:
    - Changed cart recipe category to allow hand-crafting.
    - Added trial group-specific path tiles, to allow directing cart groups using only paint.
    - BEHAVIOUR CHANGE: carts now only load from buffer chests. This seems more useful, without a modal option like requester "request from buffer chests".
Version: 0.1.15
Date: Yore
  Changes:
    - BUGFIX: check combinator signals_count (limit) before sending cart contents
Version: 0.1.14
Date: Yore
  Changes:
    - Changed yellow *turn-if-clear* arrows to blue *optional routes* (cosmetic only; same item/entity in saves).
    - Added orange *alternate route* arrows as the inverse action.
Version: 0.1.13
Date: Yore
  Changes:
    - BUGFIX: Yield tiles were broken in 0.1.11.
    - Avoid double-claiming a cell (duplicating the transient marker entity) when CART_TICK_ARRIVING.
Version: 0.1.12
Date: Yore
  Changes:
    - BUGFIX: Fix nil reference on entity rotation.
Version: 0.1.11
Date: Yore
  Changes:
    - New cart graphics thanks to [Arch666Angel](https://mods.factorio.com/user/Arch666Angel)
    - Carts now automatically interact with logistic chests adjacent to stops. See above for docs.
    - Reduced mod overhead a lot; should be easier on UPS and have less bloat in save files now.
    - BALANCING: Slight increase to burner cart fuel consumption to represent inefficiency compared to electric.
    - BALANCING: Reduce base cart speed to 5km/h (leaves room for future cart speed research, and is offset by increased loading speed).
    - BALANCING: Bump up cart recipe costs.
Version: 0.1.10
Date: Yore
  Changes:
    - Prevent nil entity ref crash: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=190&t=61053#p370623 .
    - Adjust cart timing slightly to reduce jitter (due to auto centering on a tile before moving to next).
    - Add missing item-group-name.
Version: 0.1.9
Date: Yore
  Changes:
    - Added second-tier electric cart. Usable with solar panels or [induction charging](https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Induction%20Charging).
    - Adjustment to per-tile cart fuel consumption to better match the advertised 50kW consumption.
Version: 0.1.8
Date: Yore
  Changes:
    - Changed precedence of yellow turn paint vs L/R/S signals (previous order essentially made them useless when combined).
    - Fixed constant combinators not resetting in some layouts after cart departure on L/R signal.
Version: 0.1.7
Date: Yore
  Changes:
    - Improved anti-collision and path centering checks.
    - Fixed constant combinator detection when adjacent to more than one path.
    - Driving carts is now blocked as it causes too many issues with on_tick. Player will be automatically switched to the passenger seat.
    - *BEHAVIOUR CHANGE*: If a cart has filtered trunk slots the item count sent to constant combinators will be negative if there is a shortfall. This allows *item < 0* checks for loading stops, and *item >= N* of *item != 0* for unloading stops.
Version: 0.1.6
Date: Yore
  Changes:
    - Carts now send signals to constant combinators slightly before arrival to allow circuits time to execute and possibly avoid a cart stopping at all.
Version: 0.1.5
Date: Yore
  Changes:
    - Added an path-stop paint symbol.
    - *BEHAVIOUR CHANGE*: inserters and constant combinators no longer implicitly stop carts (though gates still do, and a CC next to a stop still sends and receives cart signals). Place explicit path-stop symbols. This change allows carts to supply a row of inserters while driving past, which is an easy way to load balance resource distribution.
Version: 0.1.4
Date: Yore
  Changes:
    - Carts will now pause if damaged.
    - Added L=go-left, R=go-right, S=go-straight incoming signals to direct carts using the circuit network.
    - Added small equipment grid to carts, and equipment contents is sent to the circuit network at stops.
    - Added G1-G5 equipment for easily identifying cart groups.
Version: 0.1.3
Date: Yore
  Changes:
    - Improve tile clean up when removing from under cars, or when just traversed.
    - Fix a lua nil reference bug when removing paint path.
Version: 0.1.2
Date: Yore
  Changes:
    - Stop leaking state and making save file size blow out. Updating the mod should fix existing saves.
Version: 0.1.1
Date: Yore
  Changes:
    - EN locale
