Earth Cube Industry

0.8.0 — Living machines and end-game power

New

• Industrial Solar Panel (HV): a 5×5 panel on a two-block mast, 64 EU/t in full sun.
• Solar Plant (EV): a 7×7 panel on a two-block mast, 256 EU/t in full sun.
• Industrial Macerator, Extractor and Compressor (MV): same recipes, but they heat up while working and go from 1× when cold up to 10× faster at full heat. A redstone signal keeps them warm.
• LV, MV and HV Charging Stations: charge up to 8 tools, armour pieces or batteries at once. Hoppers take full items out, and a comparator reads the share of full items.
• Gravitational Suit (IV), above the quantum suit:
  • free flight without inertia, like creative mode;
  • a helmet that clears harmful effects;
  • Speed III on the leggings;
  • boots that step up full blocks and walk on water.
• Remote monitoring:
  • sensor cards to link to a machine, storage block or reactor;
  • a monitoring panel that shows four cards on its screen, with a redstone signal at an adjustable threshold;
  • a tablet that shows its cards on screen while held.

Machines

• Every machine now has its own silhouette instead of a cube: grinder with a hopper, oven with a dome and chimney, press on a column, shredder bin, canning table, drum between two magnets, copper-wrapped crucible, engine block, lava basin…
• Animated parts while working: rollers, press, compressor plate, shredder shafts, filling arm, separator drum, centrifuge, generator flywheel.
• Animated screens and glass reflections on the fronts.
• Particles: chimney and exhaust smoke, heating embers.
• Sides redrawn as technical panels (vents, lit pictogram, status light).
• New solar panel texture: deep blue cells.

Cables

• Placed against a surface, cables become flat wires, like RedPower's: they lie on the floor, wall or ceiling.
• They follow inside corners (floor to wall) and wrap around outside corners (from one face to the next). Energy flows through those corners too.
• They lie against machines and reach machines with no gap.
• In the air, they stay tubes.

Fixes

• A wind turbine placed on the ground now produces and spins: height is now measured at the rotor.
• The Magnetic Separator, Thermal Centrifuge and Induction Furnace now have a crafting recipe.
• With JEI, the progress arrow tooltip is no longer garbled.

⚠️ Cables already placed in an existing world keep their old shape until something changes next to them. Just break and replace them.
