    - Tank artillery guns will now be able to fire capsule shells.
    - New item: Electrostatic mines. Has the same knockback effect as electrostatic capsules. Geared towards defending rail lines.
    - Setting: Limestone concrete. Allows switching over to a more accurate concrete recipe using limestone, if it exists in the game.
    - Setting: Catalyst modules. These items can be used like modules to make certain recipes more efficient. Some recipes are made slower for balance. Note that these modules are NOT meant to be used in machines that do not use recipes (i.e. labs, miners) but there is currently no way to block them.
    - Setting: One more ingredient. Many top-tier machines, belts, and inserters will have an additional ingredient in their recipes (i.e. vulcanized rubber for belts). Previously only some top-tier recipes required these additional ingredients, but now that ingredient will not be required by default.
    - Integrated various AAI mods (Industry, Containers, Signal Transmission, various Vehicles) to use Bob's materials and fit in with the technology tree.
    - Reduced power requirement on AAI Signal Transmitter and Receiver, since they don't need to broadcast to other planets when used with this mod.

    - Setting: Highlight all ores. All ores patches will be highlighted when holding an item capable of mining them to make it easier to see which tiles actually have the resource on them and which are simply graphics spilling over from neighboring tiles.
  Changes:
    - Oil pumpjacks no longer also pump water or lithia water if water pumpjacks exist.
  Fixes:
    - Updated Krastorio2 compatibility so that upgraded oil pumpjacks now work.

Version: 1.0.11
Date: 2022-06-22
  Fixes:
    - Fixed a compatibility issue with Shortcuts-ick.
Version: 1.0.10
Date: 2022-06-14
  Info:
    - Resource Spawner Overhaul version 6.2.14 includes Qatmore's rare ores. Thanks to orzelek.
  Features:
    - Setting: Alternate filter inserter recipes. When enabled, filter inserters will always be constructed from inserters on their same tier, instead of being upgraded from other filter inserters.
    - New technology: Alien insight. Infinitely repeatable alien tech. Adds a small amount of productivity to research labs.
    - New recipe: Lubricant from fish.
    - New recipe: Synthetic petroleum gas created through electrolysis of carbon dioxide and hydrogen.

Version: 1.0.9
Date: 2022-03-12
  Info:
    - Because as of this time the Resource Spawner Overhaul mod has not been updated for Qatmore's rare ores, the config file has been provided so you can manually do the update. Simple copy the file qatmore.lua provided in this mod's main folder and paste in the rso-mod's resourceconfig folder. (Removed in version 1.0.10)
  Features:
    - Added preset specifications for new ores.
    - Setting: More advanced pipes should now be able to transport fluid more quickly, up to twice as fast. This is controlled by a setting because it has not been exhaustively tested yet.
  Fixes:
    - Compatibility with Krastorio2 has been fixed. Various changes have been made to reduce redundancies and ensure consistency.
Version: 1.0.8
Date: 2022-03-09
  Features:
    - New item: Slow modules. Reduces production speed. If you feed gears or other intermediates directly into the machines making the finished products in your mall (for example), these will give you the ability to further limit your production rate and moderate your resource consumption.
    - New item: Machine shops level 1-4. These are small 2x2 manufacturers, the same as Electronics assembly machines. They can be used to build many simple intermediate products, in order to compactify your sub-factories.
    - Setting: Small assembler color shift. Machine shops and Electronics assembly machines will have slightly different colors to distinguish them from each other and from basic Assembly machines.
    - Setting: Rare ores can be added to the game, all completely optional. Each is a source for multiple elements, allowing you to potentially save time on setting up mines, or to improve your energy economy. Resource Spawner Overhaul is strongly recommended, because vanilla resources have a lower limit to how rare they can be, and multiple new ores will add to map clutter. If using RSO, rare will mean Rare. This is meant to reward efficient exploration, and give you a reason to consider how best to set up your production to work both with and without the new resources.
    - a. Okloite. The rarest ore: a natural nuclear reactor. Produces uranium, plutonium, americium, curium, and xenon.
    - b. Cryolite. Can be used as an alternative to the synthetic cryolite that has always been in this mod, or be broken down into alumina, sodium, and fluorine.
    - c. Meteoric iron. Cheaper, and can be used as a source of nickel as well. The nickel-from-iron setting in this mod will disable this ore, because that setting effectively turns all iron into meteoric iron.
    - d. Chalcopyrite. Iron-copper ore. Also contains trace amounts of zinc, sufficient for all your needs. Produces sulfur dioxide as a byproduct.
    - Setting: Impure ground water. When active, ground water will be regular water instead of pure water. Try disabling bodies of water and using landfill on the single lake in your starting area as a challenge run.
  Changes:
    - Miner pollution increased, with miner 5 now producing 40% as much pollution per output as miner 1 instead of 1.25% as much. Large area miners have the same pollution efficiency instead of producing a flat 10/minute.
    - Shotgun shell recipes are now modified by Enhanced early ammo recipes setting.
    - Transplutonic byproduct processing time reduced from 120 to 20, relating to the implementation of okloite, which gives these byproducts.
    - Petroleum jelly unlock moved up the tech tree from cordite processing to oil processing.
    - Adjusted ground water and lithia water to no longer have insane outputs 50 times greater than the rate capactiy of a pipe. Advanced waterjacks now have a reason to exist.
    - Modular nuclear reactor efficiency reduced to 80%. Output increased to 40MW.
    - Sniper turrets will now consume more ammo per shot (5) and fire slightly slower, but will prioritize enemies with more health.
    - When playing with Rampant and artifacts, all enemy factions will now drop basic artifacts. Colored artifacts have been reorganized to better reflect their purposes, and to allow exploding factions to be turned off.
    - a. Purple (acid): Acid, Laser
    - b. Blue (pierce): Brutal, Spawner, Wasp
    - c. Green (poison): Poison, Regenerative
    - d. Yellow (explosive): Fast, Nuclear, Suicide
    - e. Orange (electric): Electric, Sapper
    - f. Red (fire): Fire, Inferno
  Fixes:
    - Ground water and lithia water patches will now be properly highlighted like oil patches are when you are holding an item capable of mining them.
    - Added incompatibility with Angel's and RampantArsenal.
    - Reduced push back distance of the Electric capsule to reduce the chance of enemies teleporting through walls.
Version: 1.0.6
Date: 2022-02-04
  Features:
    - Setting: Altered early ammo. Yellow ammo recipe will use 1 each of iron, lead, and coal. Red ammo will use less copper, but will require sodium nitrate as an oxidizer.
    - The new fishnet pump will provide all the fish you could possibly want.
    - New recipe: Sodium nitrate, may be acquired by placing fish in a greenhouse, or by combining sodium hydroxide with nitric acid.
    - New recipe: Cooked fish. Used to separate productive fish from consumable fish.
    - New recipe: Protein capsule, a stronger instant-healing capsule. For when your health bonus has a few levels on it.
    - New recipe: Perchloric acid, used in explosives and nuclear applications.
    - New recipe: Ammonium perchlorate, high-end propellant for rocketry.
    - New recipe: Solid rocket fuel, made from ammonium perchlorate and rdx.
    - New recipe: Thorium to Uranium-235 nucleosynthesis.
    - Setting: Nuclear enhancement 2. Adds americium, curium, and californium to the game.
    - a. Americium (and americium+californium) may be used to create nuclear fuel cells for use in modular reactors, an expensive but easy and compact solution for all your outpost power needs. Though less cost-efficient, these can also be used in uranium nuclear reactors.
    - b. Californium added to nuclear fuel makes a stronger fuel.
    - c. Americium and californium can be used to create fusion catalysts with lithium.
    - d. Curium can be used to generate alien artifacts. These recipes have no catalysts, so they get full benefit from productivity.
    - e. Californium can be used to make a nuclear hand grenade and ammo for a handheld or tank-mounted gamma ray laser.
  Changes:
    - Sodium nitrate replaces nitric acid in fertiliser.
    - Sodium nitrate added to explosives.
    - Ammonium perchlorate is now used in high-tier rocket ammo.
    - Power generator recipes will now be in their own header category.

    - Alien acid fluid now requires perchloric acid. Alien electric metal now requires gold.
    - Ultra chemical science pack recipe output changed from 10 to 8.
    - Plutonium nucleosynthesis and Bobingabout enrichment outputs will now be a catalyst where appropriate, and will not benefit from productivity modules.
    - Deuterium fuel reprocessing will now be done in chemistry plants instead of centrifuges.
    - Reduced the lithium-6 needed for deuterium fuel and added a lithium-6 output to deuterium fuel reprocessing.
    - Numerous recipe changes when Nuclear enhancement 2 is in play.
    - a. Both plutonium synthesis recipes now take 30 seconds, down from 60.
    - b. Thorium and uranium extracted from used fuel cells will no longer be catalysts, allowing them to benefit from productivity modules.
    - c. Uranium hexafluoride production will be slightly more expensive, but uranium processing will only require 2 of it, down from 10, to compensate for the extreme increase in demand.
    - d. Deuterium fuel cells will require many more fusion catalysts. Fuel value relative to other nuclear fuel types increased.
    - e. Personal reactor equipment will now use fission reactants, but will otherwise be cheaper. The first tier now uses red circuit boards, so they can potentially be made much earlier. Power output has been adjusted.
  Fixes:
    - Plutonium-239 will now glow in the dark like Uranium-235.
    - Fixed a minor graphical issue with Nuclear Reactors 2 and 3.
    - If using revamped nuclear reactors, uranium/thorium/deuterium reactors will no longer upgrade to types that use different fuel.
