Smart Flare Mod

Smart Flare Mod – Changelog

Version 1.0.4 | 2026-09-04
- Translations now live in the translations folder and can be edited without rebuilding the mod.
- The familiar flare controls are now available for small and large smokestacks and both incinerators.
- Choose a suitable storage and set the fill levels at which the building should start or pause.
- New gas and steam buffer with room for 200 units. It stores exhaust, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide or one of the four steam grades.
- The new buffer has its own build-menu icon with steam and exhaust symbols.
- Both incinerators support suitable loose and unit storages, including meat trimmings and chicken carcasses.
- With a storage selected, only its product is burned. If it is unavailable, the building waits. Required water and fuel gases remain allowed. A batch already in progress may finish.
- Other suitable storages remain visible in the list and can still be selected. A matching recipe must be assigned before burning.
- Without a storage selected, all assigned recipes remain allowed.
- Improved pipe and conveyor connection detection, including routes through balancers.
- Improved storage, connection and recipe information.

Important: Saves containing the new gas and steam buffer still require this mod.
