Ascending Fishers Core 0.5.9

Material Ball & Fishing Systems Update

Core 0.5.9 focuses on cleaning up the Material Ball system, improving water progression, expanding the Angler’s Arsenal guide, and fixing several equipment and presentation issues.

Material Balls & Infused Waters

• Reworked all 15 Material Ball recipes.
• Material Balls now use a simple 1 matching material → 1 Material Ball recipe.
• Improved Material Ball interaction with source water for more reliable infused-water creation.
• Material Balls now provide the intended controlled way to convert source water into Ascending Fishers water types.
• Clarified the hostile-water progression:
  • Water → Mob Water
  • Mob Water → Nether Mob Water
  • Nether Mob Water → End Mob Water

Angler’s Arsenal Guide

• Greatly expanded the built-in Angler’s Arsenal Patchouli guide.
• Added a dedicated Fishing Systems section.
• Added pages covering:
  • Getting Started
  • Material Balls & Infused Waters
  • Mob Water Progression
  • Auto Anglers
  • Routing Automated Catches
  • All 15 Material Ball and water combinations
• New players now receive the Angler’s Arsenal Guide alongside their FTB Quest Book.
• Improved the guide so important fishing mechanics remain available as a permanent reference instead of only appearing in quests.
• Added information explaining the Flux Networks 0 FE/t display issue when energy is still transferring normally.

Angler Bow Fixes

• Fixed the first-person orientation of all 14 Angler Bow variants.
• Removed the incorrect first-person roll that caused bows to face toward the player or appear reversed.
• Angler Bows now display correctly while held and drawn.

General Polish

• Improved fishing-system explanations and progression guidance.
