* Mod is now compatible with the RimWorld 1.5 update.

Version 2.16.43 (July 16th 2023)

* Auto mortars will drop an additional advanced component when destroyed.
* You are no longer able to build auto mortars under a roof.
* [SR]Factional War: NPCs partaking in Faction Bombardments should no longer build auto mortars instead of regular ones.

3) When destroyed, leaves behind 10% of the materials used to build it (minus the barrel).
