Changelog

Version: 0.2.10
Date: 2025-01-11
  Changes:
    - Slightly rebalanced the following technologies:
    - Basic Wide Containers now costs 10 automation science packs.
    - Wide logistic Containers technology now costs double the amount of science.
  Features:
    - Logistics chests have now been unlocked for use by all players, and are now not in beta.
    - Logistics chests do not currently have remnants, but they will come in the future.
  Graphics:
    - Added graphics for Tall logistics chests.
    - Added Shadows for Tall logistics chests.
    - Added Shadows for Wide logistics chests.
  Scripting:
    - Removed all assets containted in this mod.
Version: 0.2.9
Date: 2025-01-08
  Changes:
    - Updated Factoriopedia simulations.
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed Wide AAI containers shadows not rendering as shadows due to draw_as_shadow being missing from the meld.
Version: 0.2.8
Date: 2025-01-08
  Bugfixes:
    - Actually listen to script raised built events
    - Fixed a crash when an entity is built without any player attribution (aka via script)
    - Preserve spacing in filters
    - Preserve LogisticGroups from blueprints that don't exist in the game. For the most part at least...
      If there's an empty group but the blueprint has filters for it, it will override it.
      This is because it relies on `filters_count` as there's no way to check if a group exists or not.
  Changes:
    - Added basic simulations to showcase rotated version
    - Use meld for container prototype creation, hopefully improving the inheritence clarity
Version: 0.2.7
Date: 2024-12-31
  Info:
    - HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed Undo/Redo functionality with the containers. (Most of the jank is fixed, but there is a bit that is coding black magic :)).
    - Massive thanks to Pennyjim for the fix.
  Changes:
    - All the mod assets (Image files, sounds, etc.) have moved to a new mod, Wide Containers Assets. This is so that modders can depend on that mod and use the assets, rather than ripping them from this mod.
    - All assets from Wide AAI containers are going to stay in Wide AAI containers, with no redistribution allowed because of the restricted mod license. 
    - Updated dependency listings to reflect this change, with Wide Containers Assets being required.

    - The mod startup settings: wide-aai-chests-enabled-by-default, wide-aai-chests-enabled no longer show up by default in Wide Containers. You must have Wide AAI containers installed to see these settings.

Version: 0.2.1
Date: 2024-11-21
  Major Features:
    - Added the ability to rotate all Wide Containers.
    - Still possibly full of bugs, though it seems stable after extensive testing. For any bugs you do find, report on the discord!
    - Rotated chests are fully blueprintable and fully rotatable.
    - Massive thanks to Pennyjim for implementing the basis to this functionality.
  Features:
    - Added inventory sounds to all chest varations.
    - Added Factoriopedia entries to all chest varations.
    - Added Upgrade Planner support.
  Graphics:
    - Updated mod thumbnail.
    - Custom graphics for all entities, including rotated varations. 
    - Redesign of some graphics and placeholder graphics.
    - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
  Info:
    - Updated mod dependency listings.
    - To enable logistics chests, enable the beta in mod startup settings. Now updated so that entitys wont disappear upon upgrading to the next release.
    - Due to engine limitations, all chests appear as assembling machines in inventories. The mod uses a rotatable entitiy (assembling machine) as the place result, then replaces the place result with a container. This has this unfortunate side effect, but hey, "It just works™" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
    - Due to engine limitations, logistic chests requests will not be restored until it's actually built.
    - Due to engine limitations, any chest that has already been placed cannot be rotated. 
    - Planned for next release: Logistics chest release, configurable chest sizes.
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed some bugs when updating from older versions of Wide Containers.
    - Fixed logistic containers not having a description.
    - Fixed (many) crashes related to the new rotatable chests.
    - Fixed some old typos and incorrect information in the changelog.
  Scripting:
    - Added a new function make_wide_and_tall(). You can use this to define a chest and have it automaticly rotatable. Nifty, eh? (You should probbably use some or all of the control.lua for this mod).
  Compatibility:
    - Updated compatibility with AAI containers and warehouses.
Version: 0.2.0
Date: 22.10.2024
  Info:

  Info:

    - Added startup setting to enable beta content, allowing for faster bugfixes and hotfixes.
    - Note: Beta content wont break your game, but it will be unfinished and unpolished, probbably with placeholder graphics. If anything breaks the mod it wont be listed under beta content and will be commented out upon a hotfix.
