Notes

If you find a bug, something not working/crashing the game, you can create a new thread in "Discussion" tab. Alternatively you can ping me on official factorio discord server (you can reach me there faster).
I'm not a fourth-dimensional energy wizard, nor do I have 20 years of experience working at [Company Name]. I make mistakes, because I'm only a human after all, unlike some people.
AI is in the workplace. Certain stuff has been created using AI. Shame on the developer.
