Changelog

Version: 2.0.1
Date: 9.2.2025
  Changes:
    - Disabled "Heating Conductor" when Legacy Mode is disabled.
    - Made description of "Vesta Rock Islands" option easier to interpret.
Version: 2.0.0
Date: 9.2.2025
  Changes:
    - Recipe chain and Technology Chain Overhaul: Both the technologies and recipes have been retooled to be less confusing. Many intermediates and intermediate processes have been removed and many recipes are now easier to process and straight forward. Major balancing decisions include:
      - Removed "Combustion Furnace" from necessity. Combustion Furnace now solely exists as an ore processing alternative powered by gases.
      - Alternate processing unit and rocket fuel recipes.
      - Removed "Sand" intermediate
      - Removed "Ceramics" intermediate
      - Removed "Mesh" intermediate
      - Removed "Algea clump" intermediate
      - Removed "Rare algea clump" intermediate
      - Removed "Holmium algea clump" intermediate
      - Removed "Highly Iritated algea clump" intermediate
      - Removed "Iridium algea clump" intermediate
      - Removed "Heavy Solution" intermediate
      - Removed "Electronic parts" intermediate
      - "Water Filters" now only need copper plates, iron sticks, and carbon.
    - Deuterium production chain has seen a change.
    - Vesta Rock Islands option: On by default and the intended way to experience Vesta. Turning this option off will put you in Platform Mode. On Platform Mode, you spawn in the middle of the sea of clouds with only one platform, one pool of hydrogen and one pool of carbon dioxide. There are no recipe changes.
    - Legacy mode: You can enable the original 1.0 recipe and technology chains in the mod settings. This option is off by default. This recipe chain is more difficult and requires the use of additional buildings which may not have much use in your factory beyond making Vesta a more unique experience.
Version: 1.0.7
Date: 8.31.2025
  Changes:
    - Fixed an issue with Electronic Parts not reading global fluids.
Version: 1.0.6
Date: 8.27.2025
  Changes:
    - Slightly increased the frequency of methane gas spawns.
Version: 1.0.5
Date: 8.25.2025
  Changes:
    - Duplicate entries in Factoriopedia have been removed.
    - Ordering of Vesta's tiles in the editor have been moved to their own tabs.
    - Gasous tiles now have their own icons (requires updating the Assets mod)
    - Fixed research not looking for global "carbon" gas.
Version: 1.0.4
Date: 8.23.2025
  Changes:
    - Vesta Foundation did not check for global gases and only used the independent gas in its recipe; this is now fixed.
    - Carbon Supercooling did not check for global gases and only used the independent gas in its recipe, this is now fixed.
    - Assets has been updated; menu simulations will now check for global gases being triggered instead of doing nothing.
    - Vesta Foundation has been reordered in the recipe menu to be on the logistics tab.
Version: 1.0.3
Date: 8.20.2025
  Changes:
    - Changed size of "Fusion robotics" research icon to properly read 128 (Author's comment: "Seriously, how come I don't get these errors?")
Version: 1.0.2
Date: 8.19.2025
  Compatibility:
    - Space Age Galore addition actually works as intended now.
Version: 1.0.1
Date: 8.19.2025
  Compatibility:
    - Metal and Stars: Upon popular request, an option has been added to disable "Metal and Stars" anti-matter robots; this is not on by default.
    - Krastorio 2, Spaced Out: Added light integration. A small recipe chain involving rare-metals breed of algea has been added.
    - Space Age Galore: Intermediate Productivity research will also affect a few other intermediate recipes added by the mod.
    - Mulana: Added max temp to "carbon-dioxide" compatibility fluid.
  Changes:
    - Intermediate Productivity research icon has been changed.
    - Four new menu simulations have been added featuring Planet Vesta.
