Changelog

Version: 2.0.18
Date: 2026-06-21
  Changes:
    - Removed the declared conflict with LB-Modular-Chests so the mod portal dependency graph no
      longer lists the abandoned original mod. The two mods still cannot be enabled together
      because this continuation intentionally preserves the original prototype names.

Version: 2.0.17
Date: 2026-06-21
  Bugfixes:
    - Red and green circuit-wire connections are now restored after chests merge or expand.

Version: 2.0.16
Date: 2026-06-21
  Bugfixes:
    - Modular chests now find and merge with adjacent chests of the same quality. Entity lookups
      now include quality instead of implicitly searching for normal-quality entities only.
    - Merged chests now retain the quality of their component chests, including the corresponding
      quality-based inventory-size bonus.
    - Item-stack quality is now preserved when chest contents are transferred during a merge.
    - Modular chests placed or revived by another mod's script now use the normal merge logic.

Version: 2.0.15
Date: 2026-06-21
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed a crash when construction robots or scripts placed a modular chest without assigning
      last_user. Merged chests now inherit their force directly from the placed entity.

Version: 2.0.14
Date: 2026-06-21
  Features:
    - Re-released the mod as Modular Chests Continued under the new internal name
      "modular-chests-continued".
    - Preserved the original item, recipe, and entity prototype names so existing saves and
      blueprints can migrate from LB-Modular-Chests.
  Bugfixes:
    - Added placeable_by metadata to every merged iron and steel chest entity, allowing
      construction robots to satisfy blueprint ghosts with the correct number of base modular
      chest items.
  Info:
    - This release continues the MIT-licensed Modular Chests mod originally created by Lord
      Binary (krisgreg), later maintained and ported through version 2.0.13 by aaVenger.
    - The original LB-Modular-Chests mod and this continuation are marked incompatible because
      they intentionally provide the same prototype names.
