Version: 0.2.7
Date: 2025-10-11
  Info:
    - Changed behavior when the danger evaluation function encounters routes or locations that only have "special" asteroids to make it more likely for the game to still launch
      these routes will however be considered the lowest threat
      "special" asteroids in this instance are all asteroids that do not follow standard naming practices (asteroids without normal size adjectives -> [chunk, small, medium, big, huge])
    - Compat with Solar-Halo's routes to form them to be Tier 2 routes (Yellow) (problem found by edwardcc)
Version: 0.2.6
Date: 2025-10-10
  Info:
    - Rework of most of the math AGAIN to accomodate for straight lines and asteroid-less space connections
    - Compat with Outer rim to make the lines overlaping the orbital cannon lines from that mod thinner
Version: 0.2.5
Date: 2025-10-10
  Info:
    - Rework of most of the math to make the mod work with the new origin properties for space routes and space locations from one of the latest experimental changes
    - No longer requires planetlibs to function, as the whole orbit mechanics are now a part of the base game
    - Also updated the thumbnail to include a bunch of planet mods to see more of the pretty colored connections :]

Version: 0.2.2
Date: 2025-09-13
