Biotech 2.5

• Bump the network protocol to 3 so older clients cannot receive incompatible controller menu data.

• Add persisted Ignore signal / Needs signal / No signal controls to all six controllers. Paused transactions retain their inputs, energy progress, recipe snapshot, and output rolls.

• Show server-authoritative stall diagnostics in controller menus and Jade, including missing fluid, energy, blocked outputs, redstone pause, and transaction rejection.

• Add bounded server settings for new-cycle energy cost and controller processing rate; preserve default balance and active saved costs.

• Apply server balance settings to JEI energy and timing estimates.

• Localize controller diagnostics, controls, energy/fluid tooltips, and fluid product descriptions; document Patchouli translation and upgrade behavior.

• Add native regressions for pause/resume, exact output preservation across reload, output diagnostics, and active cost preservation on every supported target.

• Apply the bounded idle diagnostic refresh to Forge, distinguish an empty recipe set from missing items, and test controller cache boundaries using real world ticks on every target.

• Align animal inventory icons with block fronts. Show searchable server loot-table items and estimated per-cycle quantities on dynamic Slaughterhouse JEI output slots, refresh them on datapack synchronization, and remove the separate loot-description line. Network protocol 4 includes the loot catalog payload.

• Greenhouse default recipes now resolve mature-crop loot once per cycle, with live searchable JEI estimates and static datapack overrides. Breeding uses both parents through vanilla offspring rules; persisted cycle results preserve traits and rolls across interruptions.

• Added default capture, creative variants and machine recipes for vanilla terrestrial animals in each supported version, including proper mule hybrids, vanilla egg/spawn outputs and sterile-species exclusions. Captured tooltips show individual appearance, genes, equipment and health/speed/jump traits.
