Version: 0.2.0
Date: 2026-08-04
Changes:
- Updated for Factorio 2.1. The mod no longer loads on 2.0.
Bugfixes:
- Recipes now use the 2.1 "categories" array instead of the removed singular "category" field.
- Mega Compressor now correctly has 2 module slots. The old module_specification table was
removed in 2.0 and silently ignored, so the machine had inherited the chemical plant's 3.
