CyberFarm

# CyberFarm 1.0.1

## Changes
- **Lighter drones.** A drone's lights were drawn by passing the whole model a second time. That pass now draws only the 13 faces that actually glow, out of 498. Drones look exactly the same. With 40 drones in view, building their models takes about a third of the time it did, and sorting see-through faces about a third too, so big drone farms keep their frame rate.

Worlds from 1.0.0 load as they are. Coming from 0.9.x? Read the 1.0.0 notes below first.

# CyberFarm 1.0.0

The 1.0 release, with a new look for every machine, machines that assemble from Cyber Frames, glass pipes and wireless power.

## Highlights
- **A new look for the whole mod.** Every machine is a real 3D model that moves while it works, in a new palette of dark teal, mint and emerald, with redrawn icons and ores.
- **Machines that assemble.** The bigger machines are small multiblocks: place the machine and its Cyber Frames, and it opens up with an animation. Drones fly out and project the blocks still missing.
- **Glass pipes and cables** that show what flows through them while it flows.
- **Wireless power with dishes.** A Transmitter Dish feeds up to four Receiver Dishes in turn, through walls, on private or public networks, with Range Modules up to unlimited range across dimensions.

## New
- **Biomass Press:** turns organic waste into Biomass, which the Bio-Digester turns into biogas. Biomass also works as a weak fertilizer.
- **Drone modules:** Sponge (drains liquids in an area) and Tank (carries liquids; with Transport it moves liquids between tanks).
- **Machine addons:** ten machines take Speed, Efficiency and Battery addons. The Efficiency Addon is a new item.
- **Status panels** over machines, tanks and drones. With Jade or WTHIT installed, those take over for machines and tanks.
- **Survey Tool:** it reads the drone on the linked dock and asks for exactly what it needs: area, route or taxi target.
- **Dock area view:** the dock's Area button shows the area, route and taxi target the drone works on.
- **Hologram Tables** merge into 2x2 and 3x3 tables that list the drones by name.
- **Modular tanks** that merge into bigger ones.
- **Mech:** a new body in the mod's colours.
- **Handbook:** checked page by page against the game.
- 23 logic bugs fixed, and fixes from the first players' reports: shift-click in machines, long Transport flights, Harvester on right-click crops.

## Changes that affect existing worlds
Back up your world before updating. Most things carry over, but some machines need attention:
- **Machines that need Cyber Frames now** do not work until they have them: Gas Turbine (2), Coolant Mixer (1), Acid Synthesizer (5), Steam Engine (4, and its separate cylinder and dynamo blocks are gone), Bio-Digester (2), Fabricator, Pyrolysis Oven, Electrolyzer and Waste Reprocessor (1 each). Some lose a pipe side; the handbook shows where pipes connect now.
- **Bio-Digester:** it takes only Biomass. Put a Biomass Press, with its Cyber Frame, in front of automatic farms.
- **Water Pump:** it needs a water source right below it.
- **Harvester:** it no longer replants. Add a Planter to the same drone, or use a second drone.
- **Energy rebalance:** generators make more and machines use more, about twice as much. Drones and mechs use twice as much with batteries twice as big. Existing machines and drones take the new values by themselves.
- **Village buildings** built before the update show as unfinished, because they now use new blocks.

## Requirements
- **Minecraft 26.2:** NeoForge 26.2.0.93 or newer, Java 25. Optional: GuideME 26.2.2-alpha or newer (handbook), JEI or REI (recipes).
