Summary
Bug Fixes
This stable update addresses several technical issues, most notably a deadlock where inserters would stop functioning if ammo spoiled while being moved to a turret. It also fixes a rocket silo deadlock caused by mod changes and resolves multiple crashes related to entity deaths, loader stack size overrides, and loading Space Age save files with missing prototypes.
Scripting & Modding
The Lua API has been expanded with numerous new read properties for LuaEntityPrototype, primarily focusing on how quality affects supply areas, inventory sizes, and energy usage. Additionally, the online API documentation now features full-text search.
