Balancing

Changed piercing ammo recipe to be cheaper.
Gleba wetlands, lowlands, and water tiles now absorb 3 times as many spores as other tiles.
Trees no longer take damage from spores nor absorb spores as a result of taking pollution damage.

Changes

Added a confirm dialog informing about which achievements will be disabled with the current map settings when starting a new game.
All parameters can potentially generate the stack size, crafting time, rocket capacity and ingredient count as long as they are mapped to id which is a recipe.
Atomic bomb now blasts planet-appropriate holes into the terrain of the planet if the terrain is floating on a fluid: Ammoniacal ocean for Aquilo, Lava for Vulcanus. It also destroys space platform tiles.
Cargo landing pad does not draw inventory contents in alt mode.
Changed pipette to always select normal quality items when pipetting a tile. https://forums.factorio.com/126506
Changed the blueprint parametrisation logic related to quality. Before, whenever anything other than normal quality was used with parameters, the quality was always taken from the blueprint, and only the core id was parametrised. Now, this only happens when more than 1 quality with the same id is present instead.
Creating a rich text tag will move the text cursor to the end of the tag, not the beginning.
Decider combinator condition which contains parameter evaluated to nothing (non-existent ingredient) when building blueprint is deleted instead of kept empty. https://forums.factorio.com/118455
Improve relative vehicle driving with gamepad in multiplayer, especially when shooting.
Included priority and train limit of train stop into blueprint parametrisation.
Lowered volume of cargo wagon and beacon open/close GUI sounds. https://forums.factorio.com/127908
New achievement limitations won't affect saves started before the version 2.0.45.
Reduced volume and pitch of recycler loop and railgun turret shot sounds. https://forums.factorio.com/128024
Renamed controller vehicle driving modes from "relative" to "heading" and from "absolute" to "steering".

Minor Features

Added "planets" and "character" tags to the mod portal explore pane.
Added Space Age expansion filter to the mod portal explore pane.
Added filter support to burner fuel inventories.
Added heading car driving option for keyboard input method. Pressing in a direction will make vehicles automatically turn and accelerate to that side of the screen.
Added support for volume and speed activity matching for persistent working sounds.
Cars and tanks will automatically snap to one of the 8 major directions if within a few degrees.
Equipment grid GUIs have improved click-and-drag support. In addition to installing equipment, you can now click and drag to pick up, transfer, and fast-replace equipment.
Items manually inserted or removed from space platform dump inventory will always reset drop cooldown to two seconds. This should make manual interactions more responsive and intuitive. https://forums.factorio.com/127709
Mod portal search results and mod info will show whether they require the Space Age expansion.
Tall tooltips when attached to the right side of the screen can be scrolled (by default shift + scroll).
The swap-players command can now handle basic remote view and players in space platform hubs.

Modding

Added AirbornePollutantPrototype::damages_trees.
Added CarPrototype::rotation_snap_angle
Added FusionReactorPrototype::target_temperature.
Added MiningDrillPrototype::uses_force_mining_productivity_bonus.

Fluid boxes with diagonal connections now throw a prototype error.
Instead of "enemy-bases" autoplace control being hardcoded to be the one to affect achievements, achievements are now affected by any autoplace controls with the new property related_to_fight_achievements.
Decals can now be masked by water if their layer is above UtilityConstants::capture_water_mask_at_layer, the tile effect has a lightmap_alpha of less than 1, and the decal has opacity_over_water less than 1. This is currently requires Space Age as the effect is not supported on Switch.
