Forgotten Technology

[0.4.2] — 2026-06-14 — Sockets pipeline ships end-to-end

Added

• Resonating Hatchet — second runic tool with 8 sockets. Accepts Power / Magnetic / Speed / Capacity gems (no Range).
• End-to-end gem crafting — 20× Crystal Dust → Gem Blank, then Blank + 4× colored petals → typed gem at T1 Rough. Mapping: Red → Power, Yellow → Range, Purple → Magnetic, Green → Speed, Blue → Capacity.
• Grinder — manual gem upgrader. POLISH (quality +1, 40% destroy chance) or PROCESS (tier +1, 10/20/30/50% scaling fail rate). Failed rolls destroy the gem.
• Energy in Crystal Tunning Forge — Forge is now a Consumer in the energy network and charges the tool placed inside.
• Energy in Lectern — every transfer in or out costs 20 E. Capacity 100k, refill 1,000 E/s from the network. Wire it to a pylon with the Resonating Rod to keep it running.
• BULK MODE button on the Lectern — header toggle. When ON, every LMB on a slot does a bulk action:
  • LMB on a stored item → fill your entire inventory with that item
  • LMB on an inv / hotbar slot → deposit EVERY stack of that item type from your full inventory
• Energy bar on the Lectern UI — shows how much energy is left before the next transfer stalls.
• Re-link path on Importer / Exporter — clicking the Linking Rod with a new chest on an already-linked transport block now overwrites the old link (no need to destroy + replace).
• Codex — new chapters: Runic Burning Generator, Crystal Tunning Forge, Grinder, Gems & Sockets. Banners for Importer / Exporter / Grinder / Forge / Burning Generator. The Item Transport category shows Importer + Exporter images stacked.

Changed

• Resonating Pickaxe + Hatchet are now unbreakable — no durability bar, no repair needed, no "broken tool" power penalty.
• Importer / Exporter buff — range 10 → 20 blocks, transfer every 0.5 s instead of 1 s, capped at 32 items per cycle (~64 items/s sustained).
• Tool energy HUD label is dynamic — shows "PICKAXE ENERGY" / "HATCHET ENERGY" depending on which tool you're holding.
• Gems are now MaxStack: 1 — every gem is per-stack unique so the tier / quality tooltip survives every craft / withdraw / grinder operation cleanly.
• Codex stat numbers re-synced with the real machine values — Solar 2,000 E/s output, Pylon / Relay 12,000 E/s transfer, Crusher / Smelter 3,000 E/s intake, Harvester 4,500 E/s, Collector 15,000 E/s.

Fixed

• Empty slots in custom UIs no longer render "invalid id" — Forge, Grinder, Socket Menu, Lectern.
• Withdraw from Lectern no longer loses items when energy runs out mid-operation.
• Importer / Exporter re-linking is now consistent — the second link replaces the first instead of being refused.
