Changelog

Version: 0.2.0
Date: 2026-10-25
  Info:
    - Continuation of Solar Appliances by radmin96 (code0rc), now maintained by FallenPaladin as Solar Appliances (Reborn).
    - Internal names are unchanged, so saves using the original mod keep their solar lamps and radars after switching.
  Features:
    - Added solar powered inserter for loading turrets without power lines. Works only in daylight by default and shows "Waiting for sunlight" at night (suggested by neetzow).
    - Added startup settings to turn each appliance on or off (suggested by neetzow).
    - Added a startup cost multiplier for the solar parts and a choice of extra circuit (advanced, electronic or none) (suggested by neetzow).
    - Added an optional startup setting giving the solar inserter a built-in battery so it works at night.
    - Items, entities and technologies now show a small solar panel badge so they can be told apart from the normal versions.
    - Added entity descriptions.
  Changes:
    - Updated for Factorio 2.1.
    - Technologies are now defined directly instead of copied from base ones, so they no longer inherit unrelated base data.
    - Removed the Electric energy distribution 2 prerequisite, which was unrelated and required blue science while the research itself only costs red and green.
    - Solar appliances no longer offer an upgrade path to normal base entities.
    - Space platforms count as always lit for the solar inserter; surfaces with no solar power keep it off.
  Bugfixes:
    - Ingredients are merged instead of duplicated when the chosen circuit is already in the base recipe.
    - Recipe and item names and sort order are set explicitly instead of copied from the base item.
