Changelog

Version: 1.3.00
Date: 2026-08-30

Fixed:
- Crucible and its approach (crucible orbit) are now actually rotated on the starmap (the rotation is applied to the top-level orientation/distance that the game uses, and Crucible absolute position is recalculated accordingly)
- Fixed a startup crash when no installed mod defines "tool" prototypes (in Factorio 2.x data.raw.tool is nil unless a mod defines one): the science pack detection now handles that case

Changed:
- Space map connection Crucible-Muria now connects Muria to the Crucible approach (crucible orbit) instead of the Crucible surface
- Crucible and its approach are rotated a quarter turn toward the other planets on the starmap, then rotated back by one tenth (net rotation of 0.15)
- Carna-Paracelsin connection is now 30000 km (was 40000 km)
- Gleba-Carna connection is now 15000 km (was 8000 km)
- Fulgora-Carna connection is now 20000 km (was 24000 km)

Version: 1.2.9
Date: 2026-08-30

Changed:
- Space map (orrery) connections adjusted when the respective planet mods are installed: removed Fulgora-Aquilo, Nauvis-Corrundum and Corrundum-Aquilo
- Added new space map connections: Carna-Paracelsin (40000 km), Corrundum to the Apia-Carnova orbit / Alpha Carnova barycenter (20000 km), Crucible-Muria (20000 km)
- Added optional compatibility dependencies: corrundum, Muria, Paracelsin, carna

Version: 1.2.8
Date: 2026-08-29

Compatibility:
- Optional compatibility with Apia-Carnova system (apia) and Planet Crucible (planet-crucible) mods
- Added the Apia-Carnova science pack to the following researches: Planet discovery aquilo, Mech armor MK2, Cargo landing pad range, Exoskeleton MK3, Heavy rocket silo, Beacon MK3, Fusion bomb, Ultra transport belt, Personal roboport MK3, Long pipe to ground, Stack inserter MK2, Beacon MK2, Rocket launcher MK2, Long bulk inserter
- Added the Planet Crucible (High Pressure) science pack to Rocket silo MK2 and Stack inserter MK2
- Stack inserter MK2 now also requires metallurgic (Vulcanus) science pack to research

Fixed:
- Apia-Carnova science pack (defined as a tool prototype) is now detected correctly for research requirements

Renamed:
- Personal laser defense MK2 -> Personal laser defense long range (English locale) / Persönliche Laserverteidigung hohe Reichweite (German locale) to avoid conflict with Planet Crucible

Version: 1.2.7
Date: 2026-07-22

Changed:
- Rocket silo MK2: now requires metallurgic (Vulcanus) and electromagnetic (Fulgora) science packs to research
- Heavy rocket silo: now requires cryogenic (Aquilo) science pack to research
- Rocket launcher MK2: now requires agricultural (Gleba) science pack to research
- Long bulk inserter: now requires metallurgic (Vulcanus), electromagnetic (Fulgora) and agricultural (Gleba) science packs to research
- Energy shield MK3: now requires metallurgic (Vulcanus) science pack to research and as prerequisite

Version: 1.2.6
Date: 2026-07-06

Changed:
- Energy shield MK3/MK4 energy per hitpoint reduced to 30kJ (more efficient)
- Exoskeleton MK2 power consumption increased to 300kW
- Rocket silo MK2 item weight increased to 100t (too heavy for rocket cargo)
- Rocket silo MK2 power usage 1.5x vanilla (375kW / 5985kW)
- Heavy rocket silo power usage 5x vanilla (1250kW / 20MW)
- Beacon MK2/MK3 research icon: removed equipment overlay

Renamed:
- beacon-mk2 / beacon-mk3 -> Effektverteiler MK2 / MK3 (German locale)

Fixed:
- Mech armor MK2 research now uses correct technology icon
- Heavy rocket silo active energy usage corrected to exactly 20MW

Version: 1.2.5
Date: 2026-07-05

Changed:
- Personal laser defense MK2 range increased from 15 to 25

Renamed:
- Aquilo pipe to ground -> Long pipe to ground (English locale)

- ZIP now uses forward slashes for cross-platform compatibility
- Proper ZIP structure with mod directory
