Was it a bug?
That might be a nice feature for power source management for mods.

It was never supposed to be possible to set but there was check missing and somehow it did not crash, in 2.0.48 it started crashing because when i finally used this assumption and tried to check SolarPanel's performance_at_day value it crashed when it was set for non solar panel. I know of at least one mod that was working outside of specified scope and is affected: space-panels.

Added RecipePrototype::additional_categories.

Does this mean that inter-mod compatibility no longer requires you to create dozens of recipe categories with names like "cryogenics-or-armory-or-basic-chemistry"?
