Changelog

Version: 1.0.7
Date: 2026.01.09
  Changes:
    - Gleba data weight halved, and both pack and data now spoil into garbage data.
    - Gleba plant spores per harvest reduced from 15 to 10 due to larger amount needed for progression. May revisit this amount again later.
    - Fulgora data density doubled; Seemed a little too much.
    - Updated tips slightly
    - Added placeholder thumbnail to mod
Version: 1.0.6
Date: 2026.01.07
  Changes:
    - Disallowed prod modules in gel recipies. Mainly to keep science requirements more consistent for higher levels of productivity.
    - Gel craft times increased by 150%. (Partially to encourage speed modules now that prod is gone.)
    - Data craft times increased slightly. Vulcanus craft times 50% larger on top due to foundry base speed.
    - Fulgora science rebalanbce to require less bricks and more batteries.
    - Nauvis gel requires more uranium and flamethrower ammo.
    - Vulcanus gel requires more carbide and concrete.
    - Gleba gel requires more coal and nutrient.
Version: 1.0.5
Date: 2026.01.02
  Changes:
    - Blank data cost and craft time increaced, can now output duds.
    - Plastic costs for gels increased. Lube for Fulgora gel and acid for Vulcanus gel increased.
    - Fulgora science recipe tweaks, and data density significantly reduced. Additionally requires ~1.5x rocket launches.
    - Cryo science requires more rocket fuel, but solid fuel replaced with small amount of lube.
    - Stack size of most data cards halved.
    - Locale file names renamed from old placeholder names.
Version: 1.0.4
Date: 2026.01.01
  Changes:
    - Pack crafting now takes an additional simple ingredient unique to each pack.
    - Vulcanus gel now takes twice as much concrete.
    - Fixed years in previous changelog dates.
Version: 1.0.3
Date: 2025.12.28
  Changes:
    - Slurry now takes iron sticks instead of water, and requires more thruster fuel. Starfrost slurry output reduced.
    - Promethium 147 per chunk halved. Reverted oxide chunk ice output to normal levels.
    - Fluoroketone use increased in most relevant science recipes. Minor gel cost increaces.
Version: 1.0.2
Date: 2025.12.27
  Changes:
    - Nauvis space routes now only have small promethium asteroids. Now more resistant to lasers.
Version: 1.0.1
Date: 2025.12.17
  Changes:
    - Weight of data and science increased tenfold, to require more rocket parts per pack. (Cryo just x5)
    - Slightly longer gel craft times
Version: 1.0.0
Date: 2025.12.16
  Changes:
    - Changelog added, version 1.0 set
