|| 0.7.0 || September 27, 2013 ||
=== 0.7.0 ===
 
==== Features ====
* The factory now produces pollution. Pollution is visible on the map after pressing ALT key. Pollution is mostly produced by mining drills, things that burn coal, assembling machines and modules.
* Enemy creepers were replaced by small, medium and big biters.
* Enemy turrets were replaced by small, medium and big shooting worms.
* Enemy attacks are triggered by pollution accumulated around their base (no time based attacks from the script anymore).
* Enemies move and attack in groups.
* Enemies wander around their base when they have nothing to do.
* Enemies call for help when attacked.
* Enemies can create new bases.
* Added new weapons/ammos: shotgun, combat shotgun, explosive rockets.
* Added upgrades (research) for all types of ammo and for laser turrets as well.
* Added concept of capsules (usable items). Capsules are used from quickbar. Quickbar shortcut (1-5 shift 1-5) applies the capsule at mouse position. Current capsules: basic grenade, poison cloud capsule (doesn't damage buildings), slowdon capsule (doesn't work on buildings), combat robot capsules (spawns robot(s) that fight the enemies)
* The player movement is slower when he is shooting (differs per weapon).
* Added Modular armors with placeable equipment. The armor is opened by right clicking it. Equipments can be: night vision, speedup exoskeleton, energy sources, batteries, energy shields, laser defense, discharge defense
* Weapons have different damage types, entities have different resistances.
* Added production statistics similar to the electricity statistics. (on the P key by default)
* "Shift-build" - when building with shift the settings of the last built entity of that type are applied. This works for assembling machine, smart/logistics chest and inserter, includes circuit network wiring and internal settings.
* Laboratories and mining drills are module compatible.
* Logistic robots try to not mix different items in storage chests if possible.
* Placing resources now uses the "autoplace" mechanism as well (see lua data files).
* Better labeling of map generation parameters (swapped frequency and size), frequency and size are less dependent on each other.
* Automatic updates can use proxy server.
 
==== Gui ====
* Extended tips and tricks.
* Mark missing elemental ingredients in the recipe tooltip as red.
* Show cooldown of weapons/usable items in the slot.

* Fixed that the electric pole has the same orientation all the time (regardless connections)
 
==== GUI ====
 
* Removed the text length limit from the input console.
* Wrapping of the console text in the game.

* The default game contents is treated as a mod (called base).
* Prototype definitions are generated by Lua scripts (no json anymore). Mods can manipulate the definitions from previous mods.
* Mods can have control.lua script that supplements / changes the behavior of the default scenario script.
* Multiple running scripts (from the mods) can communicate with each other using interfaces.
* General furnace energy source specification in json (so it can be electric)
* Started to use the name of the recipe, this allows different recipes for the same product. Having different recipes for the same product for player crafting is not tested (regarding the auto crafting)
* Translation files are merged properly.
* Default english fallback for translations.
 
==== Scripting ====
 
* Simple way to add gui elements using script.
* Divided the player and its character, some functions that are not directly connected with the charater (goal description, printing etc)are accessible from the player object, the rest from the character. The access to character is game.player.character

* Merged onunitdied and onplayerdied to onentitydied
* Check for positive addition in the LuaInventory::insert method
* Added LuaInventory::remove method
* Added LuaInventory::getcontents method
* Simplier access to player from game object (game.player instead of game.getplayer())
* Added LuaRecipe::reload method
* Added force parameter in createentity so player can specify the owner of the created entity (was always enemy now)
* Added way to change force of entity and damage entity (damaging is different then sethealth).
* Position doesn't need to be in format {x = 34, y = 7}, the format {34 ,7} works as well, the same with bounding box.
* Added simple interface for the Freeplay that allows manipulating the attacks from mod scripts.
* Scripts receive only events they have subscribed to.
* Scripts can emit their own events (for instance Freeplay emits an event whenever it starts the attack).
