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.
