v1.1.2

  • Adjusted the crafting station levels after the Ashlands update. Please reset your configs if you would like to use all crafting station extensions available in-game before further upgrading becomes available.

v1.1.1

  • Fixed a bug preventing custom items from being upgraded.

v1.1.0

  • Added the option to include custom/modded crafting stations so that items crafted at these stations can also be upgraded beyond their natural levels.

v1.0.6

  • If the option 'Include Naturally Unupgradable Items' is enabled and the item to be upgraded does not have a pre-configured upgrade recipe, the crafting recipe is used as a base, divided by two per quality level. This stacks with the value defined in 'Materials Required Per Level'. For example, an item costs 30 chitin to craft but is not naturally upgradable. The option to force an upgrade on such an item is enabled, and the value of 'Materials Required Per Level' is 60%. The cost per upgrade will be 30 x 50% x 60% = 9 chitin per quality level.

v1.0.5

  • Added an 'Item Ignore List', to which you can add items that should only be upgradable to their vanilla default levels, regardless of the generic settings per item type.
  • Fixed a bug that made some modded items that should not be upgradable at all (e.g. food) upgradable when the 'Include Naturally Unupgradable Items' option was enabled.

v1.0.4

  • Fixed a minor bug introduced in the previous update.

v1.0.3

  • Enabled compatibility with the Warfare mod.
  • Added the option to specify item prefabs instead of item tokens in the custom item list.
  • Added an 'Upgrade Required Level Divisor' entry, which determines how many times an item can be upgraded per station extension level (e.g. a value of '2' means that an item will require a new extension every 2 upgrades instead of the default of 1).

v1.0.2

  • Fixed a bug preventing items from being upgraded beyond their capacity at the black forge.

v1.0.1

  • Fixed a bug preventing upgrades to items that require a crafting station above level one to craft the base item.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented tools from being recognized correctly.

v1.0.0

  • Initial release.
