Factorio uses a common encoding method to serialize the version string in binary data that's present in multiple places. It consists of four consecutive 2-byte unsigned little-endian values. We'll use version 0.14.21 as an example:
| short | Factorio's major version number (e.g. 0) |
| short | Factorio's minor version number (e.g. 14) |
| short | Factorio's patch version number (e.g. 21) |
| short | Unknown - seems to be 0. |
