Changelog

Version: 0.2.0

  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed crash with modded battery types (e.g. battery-mk3-equipment) by adding a generic fallback shadow entity

    - Cached active pole reference so lightning arc redraws skip the spatial search
  Features:
    - Added native support for Space Age battery-mk3-equipment in power consumption stats
    - Removed configurable interval setting, hardcoded to sensible defaults
    - Lightning arcs now attach to the correct height for each pole type instead of always using substation height
