To clarify for everybody:

There is no intent to remove this version from the Workshop; it will remain here for anybody who still wishes to use it.

I actually use it myself (as do some testers) to cross-check the legacy calculation modes of version 2, and as a performance baseline to make sure that the version 2 performance improvements haven't been impacted by any subsequent changes. So it's not going anywhere.

This item is unlisted, so won't appear in searches (to avoid confusing new players - yes, that is actually an issue with mods on the workshop),but is still visibile and accessible to everyone with the direct link (and will remain so).

This item is currently linked directly from the version 2 page, and I'll keep a link on that page for as long as is practical - if I do have to move it (due to character limitations, most likely) I'll put it in a discussion so that you can easily find it again if you need to.
