Changelog

Version: 0.17.1
Date: 30. 08. 2026
  Changes:
    - Set the Thumper's cargo weight to 50 kg, allowing one full stack of 20 Thumpers per cargo rocket.

Version: 0.17.0
Date: 29. 08. 2026
  Changes:
    - Thumpers no longer produce Noise pollution or participate in Noise-gradient targeting.
    - Every three seconds, each patrolling demolisher in a Thumper's quality-scaled range becomes enraged at the closest eligible Thumper. The range is 224 tiles at normal quality and 336 tiles at legendary quality.
    - Demolishers that are already investigating, attacking, or enraged are not redirected. Patrolling demolishers outside direct Thumper range continue to respond to ordinary Noise.
    - A Thumper response awards Disturbing the peace immediately when the chosen Thumper is outside the demolisher's home territory.
    - Holding or selecting a Thumper shows its quality-scaled attraction radius.

Version: 0.16.0
Date: 27. 08. 2026
  Changes:
    - Demolisher target searches now follow rising Noise through edge-sharing chunks and consider sources only in the peak chunk they reach.
    - Demolishers no longer fall back to sources elsewhere. If the peak has no recognized source, they stay on patrol and halve Noise only in the chunk where the search began.
    - Existing saves update without migration. Existing Noise is preserved, and the new targeting applies on the next check.

Version: 0.15.2
Date: 27. 08. 2026
  Changes:
    - Changed Thumper to ordinary research instead of unlocking it by provoking a demolisher. It requires Tungsten carbide, Battery, and Circuit network and uses Automation, Logistic, and Chemical science.
    - Changed the Thumper recipe to use tungsten carbide instead of concrete.

Version: 0.15.1
Date: 14. 08. 2026
  Changes:
    - Updated Factorio compatibility to 2.1.

Version: 0.15.0
Date: 13. 08. 2026
  Major Features:
    - Added Noise pollution to Vulcanus. Mining drills, offshore pumps, items destroyed in lava, and Thumpers can provoke nearby demolishers.
    - Added the Thumper, an always-on decoy that lures demolishers with Noise. Its output increases with quality.
  Features:
    - Added settings for mining-drill, lava-disposal, and offshore-pump Noise, and for demolisher sensitivity.
    - Added Thumper technology, unlocked by provoking a demolisher with Noise.
    - Added the Disturbing the peace achievement for provoking a demolisher to leave its territory.
