⚛️ Elementum v0.23.0 — The Particle Accelerator Overhaul

Major Feature Release: Complete engineering revamp of the Particle Accelerator (Bench_Accelerator), introducing high-density scientific cockpit controls, Lorentz magnetic confinement, cryogenic thermal management, ADS nuclear transmutation, and real-time live particle beam acceleration cycles.

🚀 What's New & Major Highlights

🔬 1. Complete Particle Lab Cockpit UI Overhaul

• 3-Column Scientific Command Center:
  • Left Panel (Beam Calibration): Calibrate beam energy (0.5 MeV - 5.0 MeV), monitor real-time RF resonance frequency, core temperature, and beam stability.
  • Center Panel (Synthesis Precursors): Interactive precursor and target slots with live inventory stock detection ([READY] / [MISSING]), fuel level indicators, and reaction pathways.
  • Right Panel (System Status & Flight Telemetry): Real-time gauge cluster tracking Vacuum (0-100%), Magnetic Field (0.0-10.0 T), Nuclear Waste (0-100%), live countdown clock, and one-click injection matrices.
• Dynamic Radiation Warning Header: Real-time visual monitoring (RADIATION NOMINAL, RADIATION WARNING, RADIATION CRITICAL) reflecting chamber stability and radiation leak risks.
• Native Close Button Integration: Top-right [X] exit button seamlessly dismisses the cockpit view.

⚡ 2. 3-Zone Hybrid Resonance & Overclock Engine

Beam calibration now dictates reaction physics across three distinct operational regimes:

• Optimal Mode (1x Fuel -> 1x Output): 100% deterministic, stable resonance with baseline heat and zero fission risk.
• Overclock Mode (2x Fuel -> 60% - 95% Chance for 2x Output): High-yield harmonic acceleration scaling with magnetic confinement and ultra-stability.
• Overload Mode (3x Fuel -> High Risk / Extreme Yield): Extreme beam flux delivering 2x Superheavy elements, or risking nucleonic disintegration into radioactive slag unless shielded by collimation.

🧲 3. Lorentz Magnetic Confinement & Superconducting Matrix (0.0 T - 10.0 T)

• Live B-Field Matrix: Charge superconducting magnets using magnetic elements:
  • Niobium / Yttrium: Saturates field to maximum 10.0 Tesla (+Superconducting boost).
  • Neodymium: Charges field by +5.0 Tesla.
  • Iron / Cobalt: Charges field by +2.5 Tesla.
• Superheavy Fusion Threshold: Synthesizing Oganesson (Cf + Ca -> Og) strictly requires >= 7.0 Tesla confinement to prevent catastrophic beam dispersion.
• Relativistic Pinch: High magnetic fields (>= 8.0 T) compress particle trajectories, boosting Overclock critical success up to 80%-95%.
• Lorentz Waste Dampening: Active magnetic fields trap stray isotopes, dampening up to 60% of nuclear waste generation.

❄️ 4. Dynamic Core Temperature, Cryogenics & Magnet Quench

• Thermal Dissipation Simulation: Realistic thermal accumulation per shot with continuous ambient cooling (-3°C/s decay towards room temperature).
• Multi-Stage Coolant Injection ([INJECT COOLANT]):
  • Liquid Helium (4 K Deep Freeze): Supercools the core to 0°C, absorbing the next 3 shots with zero temperature increase and granting +10% beam stability.
  • Liquid Nitrogen / Argon: Instant chamber thermal flush to 22°C ambient and restores 100% ultra-vacuum.
  • Water / Ice Jacket: Flushes the thermal jacket for an immediate -35°C heat step drop.
• Safety Lockouts & Magnet Quench:
  • Thermal Lockout (>= 85°C): Prevents beam arming until heat is safely dissipated.
  • Superconducting Quench (>= 100°C): Superconductors overheat and lose zero-resistance state, instantly collapsing the magnetic field to 0.0 T.

🌪️ 5. Hybrid Ultra-Vacuum & Turbopump Cycle

• Chamber Evacuation Dynamics: Firing a high-energy beam degrades vacuum chamber pressure (<80% vacuum lock).
• Automatic Turbopump Cycle: Restores vacuum pressure at +20%/sec.
• Noble Gas Cryo-Flush: Instantaneous restoration to 100% ultra-vacuum using compressed noble gas canisters.

🎯 6. Beam Stability, RF Phase Lock & Collimation

• Stability Impacts: Low beam stability (<50%) triggers beam halo scattering and target loss; high stability (>= 90%) guarantees zero-fission overload coalescence.
• Dual-Path Beam Stabilization ([STABILIZE]):
  • Electronic RF Phase Lock: Actively synchronizes RF cavity resonators to the target frequency (+15% Stability).
  • Beryllium / Silicon Collimator: Consumes 1x Beryllium or Silicon to engage transverse collimator optics for 100% perfect beam focus.

☢️ 7. Nuclear Waste & ADS Beam Transmutation

• Chamber Contamination: Uncontained collisions accumulate radioactive waste (30% yellow caution, 70% alarm / radiation leak risk, 100% chamber choke).
• Dual Decontamination Methods ([TRANSMUTE / DRAIN]):
  • Lead Encapsulation Drain: Consumes 1x Lead to drain all waste to 0%.
  • ADS Transmutation (>= 4.0 MeV): Fires a high-energy spallation proton beam into accumulated waste, neutralizing it to 0% and providing a 35%-75% chance to transmute rare heavy byproduct elements (Gold, Platinum, Palladium, Bismuth, Thallium).

⏱️ 8. Live Real-Time Acceleration Countdown

• Live In-Flight Particle Acceleration: Replaced instantaneous synthesis with realistic flight acceleration cycles:
  • Molybdenum -> Technetium (Mo -> Tc): 4 seconds
  • Uranium -> Neptunium (U -> Np): 6 seconds
  • Californium + Calcium -> Oganesson (Cf + Ca -> Og Fusion): 8 seconds
• Live Cockpit Telemetry: Live HUD countdown badges ([ACCELERATING], BEAM IN FLIGHT, ACCELERATING: Xs).
• Anti-Dupe & Exploit Protection: Fuel and precursors are securely consumed at t=0; closing the UI mid-flight preserves state and safely completes synthesis in the background.

🛠️ Bug Fixes & Technical Improvements

• World Thread ECS Synchronization: Fixed an issue where background countdown tickers failed to deliver synthesized items into player inventories by properly dispatching item transactions through Hytale's World Thread dispatcher.
• Native Chat Color System: Replaced legacy Minecraft section sign formatting with Hytale-native Message.raw().color("#Hex") styling, eliminating unparsed color code artifacts in chat.
• Native Close Button Fix: Connected #CloseButton event binding allowing players to close the cockpit window cleanly via the top-right X button.
• Smart Fuel Key Matching: Enhanced catalyst detection to recognize all vanilla and Elementum carbon fuels (Coal, Charcoal, Element_Carbon, dusts).
• Cross-Session Block Persistence: Particle accelerator block telemetry is mapped to world coordinates, persisting seamlessly across player reconnects.

Compatible with Hytale Release 0.6.x.
