Changelog

Version: 0.25.0
Date: 2026-10-23
  Features:
    - 13 titanium achievements (Titanium Age, drill, express, track layer, lights, fortress, guard, armored, liftoff,
      alloy master, mass production I-III) with own icons; names and descriptions in English and German.

Version: 0.24.5
Date: 2026-10-18
  Graphics:
    - The map color of titanium ore is turquoise (silver white could not be told from iron).

Version: 0.24.4
Date: 2026-10-18
  Graphics:
    - The map color of titanium ore is silver white now (blue was too close to water and iron).

Version: 0.24.3
Date: 2026-10-18
  Graphics:
    - The map color of titanium ore is a bit darker.

Version: 0.24.2
Date: 2026-10-18
  Graphics:

Version: 0.24.1
Date: 2026-10-18
  Info:
    - Updated mod description and summary (new content: trains, space parts, lamps, balance).

Version: 0.24.0
Date: 2026-10-18
  Balancing (against Krastorio 2):
    - Stack sizes like Krastorio 2: titanium ore, ingot, plate, gear wheel, rod, beam and alloy plate stack to 200
      (were 100).
    - Rocket weights like Krastorio 2: ore and ingot 3000, gear wheel and beam 5000, rod 500, alloy plate 4000,
      pipe and wall 5000; enriched titanium, titanium dioxide and sodium 1000, rock salt 2000.
    - Checked that every recipe with titanium is unlocked behind the technology Titanium processing, that pipes
      (volume 200, 45 tiles underground) and the storage tank (100 000) sit between the Krastorio 2 steel and huge
      tanks, and that the machines stay below the nuclear locomotive and the MK3 mining drill.

Version: 0.23.1
Date: 2026-10-18
  Balancing:
    - Titanium armor costs more: 40 plates + 5 alloy plates + 8 advanced circuits (was 25 plates + 5 circuits).
    - Titanium wall and gate cost 4 plates (was 2), chest 12 plates (was 8), lamp 3 ingots (was 2); the lamp designs
      need one more ingot, the crystal lamp 4 ingots and 3 advanced circuits.
    - Molten titanium from lava: 60 per 500 lava (was 100).
    - Hunter process: 10 sodium (was 8), 12 s, returns 10 salt; still 7 ingots.

Version: 0.23.0
Date: 2026-10-18
  Balancing:
    - All numbers of the titanium machines are now set in one file (prototypes/compat/titanium-balance.lua), relative
      to the final values of the original machine (Krastorio 2 changes were not taken into account before, e.g. the
      titanium locomotive was faster than the nuclear locomotive).
    - Titanium locomotive: +8 % speed (was +30 %), 2.5 MW, 1400 health, stays below the nuclear locomotive.
      Wagons keep the normal top speed.
    - Titanium mining drill: +15 % mining speed (was +30 %), stays below the MK3 drill.
    - Turrets: gun turret +12 % range, rocket turret +15 %, laser turret +20 %, twice the health, faster fire.
    - Titanium solar panel 130 kW (was 150 kW).
    - Molten titanium from lava: 100 per 500 lava (was 150), because lava is unlimited.
    - Metallic asteroid crushing with a titanium ingot: 4 titanium ore (was 6).
    - Enriched titanium: 1 -> 4 rods (was 2), 2 -> 2 beams (was 1), 1 -> 2 pipes (was 1), so the acid route is worth it.

Version: 0.22.0
Date: 2026-10-18
  Features:
    - Titanium in space (technologies Titanium space parts, Titanium space defense, Titanium asteroids):
      - Titanium asteroid collector (collection radius +50 %, two arms, faster arms), titanium thruster (+30 % thrust
        per fluid), titanium cargo bay (30 instead of 20 slots), titanium platform foundation (4x the tile health).
      - Titanium rocket turret and laser turret (more health, 30 % / 25 % more range), titanium solar panel (150 kW).
      - New titanium asteroids (chunk, small and medium asteroid) that appear on all space routes with metallic
        asteroids, much rarer. The chunk gives 10 titanium ore when crushed.
      - Metallic asteroid crushing with a titanium ingot: 6 titanium ore + 8 iron ore.

Version: 0.10.10
Date: 2026-10-14
  Bugfixes:
    - Titanium pipe, pipe to ground and storage tank: only the metal parts are tinted now. Fluid windows, fluid
      backgrounds and flow animations look exactly like on the Krastorio 2 steel pipes, so fluids show their usual colors.

Version: 0.10.9
Date: 2026-10-13
  Graphics:
    - New honeycomb look for all solid ores: coal, copper ore, iron ore, stone, uranium ore and titanium ore are drawn
      as hexagonal prism chunks (8 sprite variants per ore). The ore item icons use the new art.
    - Coal is built from smaller, tightly packed chunks and a larger sprite, so no ground shows between the clumps of
      neighbouring ore tiles.
    - Titanium ore and uranium ore have their own glow layers, made from the new art, and glow differently:
      titanium pulses quickly in cold ice blue and lights only its crystal facets, uranium pulses clearly in toxic
      yellow-green (dims and brightens about every 4 seconds, each tile in its own phase).

Version: 0.10.0

      hydrogen turns into titanium ingots. 20% more ingots per ore than smelting, hydrogen chloride as byproduct.
  Features:
    - Titanium beam (unlocked by titanium processing).
    - Titanium pipe, titanium pipe to ground (45 tiles) and titanium storage tank (100 000 fluid) with the new
