Version: 1.0.3
Date: 15.08.2026
  Optimizations:
    - Beacon status checks are now spread across the update interval instead of all landing in the
      same tick. A base wide plasma outage no longer switches every beacon in one go.
Version: 1.0.2
Date: 14.08.2026
  Features:
    - New startup setting "Beacons required to craft": adds 2 beacons to the recipe. Off by default.
  Changes:
    - HD Plasma Duct is now a recommended dependency instead of a required one, so it can be disabled.
      Without it, connect the plasma beacon directly to a fusion reactor's plasma output.
