Changelog

Version: 0.9.3
Date: 2025-10-26
  Compatibility:
    - Maraxsis sand refining time now follows item merged with K2/K2SO (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/promethium-quality/discussion/68fd402c1630a61d2a97dbb8)

Version: 0.9.2
Date: 2025-06-12
  Graphics:
    - Added frozen patch for Refinery

Version: 0.9.1
Date: 2025-06-11
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed use after invalid when checking to set quality blacklist on new inserters

Version: 0.9.0
Date: 2025-06-09
  Features:
    - Refining recipe is now shown in Factoriopedia alongside "Recycling recipes"
    - Added per-user setting "Blacklist highest quality on input", enabled by default
  Balancing:
    - Promethium chunks no longer spoil by default. Existing saves should not be affected and related setting is still there. Purpose is to align mod out-of-the-box as content-only, rather than unwittingly tweak approaching promethium science

    - Icon for Promethium chunk melting has been updated
    - Refinery now filters for Promethium emulsion, it should be more intuitive
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed settings "Debug refining graph" and "Allow quality effect on Refinery" not being read properly

Version: 0.8.18
Date: 2025-02-22
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed startup setting "Refining time maximum (min)" not being properly applied

  Minor Features:
    - Added startup setting "Refining time maximum (min)", disabled by default (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/promethium-quality/discussion/679b093fa8a1d84739770001)
    - Added startup setting "Allow quality effect on Refinery", disabled by default (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/promethium-quality/discussion/67ac5822766e0fe88de264d5)

Version: 0.8.16
Date: 2025-02-07

    - The mod now takes into account spoil results of items (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/promethium-quality/discussion/679b093fa8a1d84739770001)
  Balancing:
    - Maraxsis sand now has sane refine time (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/promethium-quality/discussion/679b093fa8a1d84739770001)
  Changes:
    - Automated insertion limit for refining recipes that take 3+ minutes, is now forced to be 1 (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/promethium-quality/discussion/679e747299654add68a35c7d)

Version: 0.8.15
Date: 2025-01-19
  Features:
    - Added startup settings that modify refining time, for those who want it easier or harder

Version: 0.8.14
Date: 2025-01-16
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed crash when incorporating modded smelting recipe

Version: 0.8.13
Date: 2025-01-11

    - Added startup setting to change promethium chunk spoil time. May also be turned off by setting to zero

Version: 0.8.12
Date: 2025-01-05
  Locale:
    - Fixed Refinery's tooltips on item input not showing

Version: 0.8.11
Date: 2025-01-05
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed flaw in refining time calculation logic that could make items referenced by looping recipes not refinable. This fixes Maraxsis compatibility for carbon fiber (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/promethium-quality/discussion/6778a764a4b563f1270adeb7)

Version: 0.8.10
Date: 2025-01-04

Version: 0.8.9
Date: 2025-01-04
  Bugfixes:
    - Even though mod load should ensure this doesn't happen, signal the Quality mod that refining recipes should not be used for recycling recipes. This might fix https://mods.factorio.com/mod/promethium-quality/discussion/677839138b4762a1103ca529

Version: 0.8.8
Date: 2024-12-31
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed crash attempting to autoset refining time from "thin air" recipes when there are no results defined

Version: 0.8.7
Date: 2024-12-30
  Info:
    - Specified features required in info.json to show Space Age DLC requirement

Version: 0.8.6
Date: 2024-12-30
  Features:
    - The mod now generates refining recipes for items that are derived only from fluids
  Balancing:
    - Refining time calculation now prefers walking through production chain that has the least amount of fluids. This fixes base alternate recipes involving molten iron/copper being picked
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed possible crashes where recipes with energy_required as nil get wrongly picked up
    - Fixed plastic bar and ice having absurdly low refining time
    - Fixed solid fuel, scrap and uranium ore being able to be refined
    - Fixed refining time for base items getting set more than once

Date: 2024-12-29
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed plates coming from smelting recipes improperly having double the refining time they're supposed to
    - Fixed Lithium reverting back to autogenerated refining time

Version: 0.8.4
Date: 2024-12-29

    - Modded smelting recipes now contribute to overall end product refining time
    - Other mods can now opt-out or set their own complexity for an item

  Balancing:
    - Probabilities are now considered when calculating refining time
    - Wood can now be refined
    - Refining time for ammo has changed, since it's now automatically generated
    - The mod will now also artificially inflate any new modded ammo items
    - Pentapod egg, Biter egg and Raw fish now have the same 75s refining time

Date: 2024-12-28
  Features:
    - The mod now automatically recognizes resources added from other mods
  Debug:
    - Identifying circular dependencies for refining recipes of modded items should now be clearer when the game crashes (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/promethium-quality/discussion/67704c79f934f2a791830eaa)

Version: 0.8.1
Date: 2024-12-28
