Emerging Technology

Note: If you've been keeping up to date with the other Beta releases, there are no major changes from 1.3.15-beta in this version. If you're updating from 1.3.3 (Release), please make a backup of your world just in case!

I am now concentrating on porting Emerging Technology to the latest Minecraft versions (1.14+), so updates will mainly consist of bug fixes for a little while. 

Feature changes from 1.3.3 to 1.3.16:

- Added experimental CraftTweaker support for processing machines (e.g. mods.emergingtechnology.Shredder.addRecipe(minecraft:glowstone_dust, minecraft:glowstone)

- Added experimental Agricraft cropstick harvesting for Harvester.

- Long tooltips are now hidden until the player presses the Shift key

- Wind Turbine now operates at full capacity in stormy weather

- Solar Panel operates at half capacity in rain and stormy weather

- Shredder now accepts poisonous potatoes to create Shredded Starch

- Plastic blocks and Clear plastic blocks now require 4 Shredded Starch and Shredded Plants instead of 9 respectively

- Synthetic meat hunger/saturation values can now be changed in the config

- CraftTweaker recipes now accept oredict entries (still experimental, please report all bugs to GitHub!)

- New CO2 Scrubber machine. This machine removes Carbon Dioxide from the environment and stores it in internal tanks. A better yield of CO2 can be gained using Biochar. When placed adjacent to a CO2 Diffuser, the gas will be pushed automatically.

- New CO2 Diffuser machine. This machine uses Carbon Dioxide to boost the growth of nearby crops. The boost and range of the Diffuser is determined by the installed Nozzle. Only crops along the North, East, South and West facing blocks are affected.

- New CO2 gas.

- New Nozzle items. These items are used in the Diffuser to affect the boost and range of crop growth.

- New Turbine item. Used as a crafting ingredient in the Turbine Generator, Wind Generator and CO2 Scrubber (updated recipes for these machines).

- New Solar Glass block. A transparent block that collects solar energy. Energy is passed to neighbouring Solar Glass blocks below (by default, configurable).

- New Algae Bioreactor machine. This machine uses water, energy and CO2 to grow Algae when supplied with either Algae or a Slime Ball in the machine.

- New Algae item. This item can be cooked in a furnace to produce biomass, or placed in an Algae Bioreactor to produce more Algae.

- New Nutrient Injector machine. This machine uses Fertilizer and water to produce Nutrient Fluid.

- New Nutrient Fluid liquid. Provides a boost to crop growth when used in the grow bed.

- New Fertilizer item. Can be produced in the Processor from various organic ingredients.

- New Algae Bar food item. Made from Algae, can be cooked and eaten.

- New textures thanks to MotorGorilla1 🎉

- Harvester will now harvest and plant hydroponic crops to the North, East, South and West with an animation

- Added configuration for Waste Collector & Tidal Generator to ignore Biome requirements

- All power-generating machines will now push 'through' each other to energy consumers. e.g. a row of Solar Panels will push energy to the end of the row, if there is an energy consumer at the end

- New Polluted Sand, Dirt and Gravel blocks. These blocks will randomly spawn in River, Ocean, Beach and Swampland biomes. They can be harvested with right-click or broken to retrieve Waste Plastic. Fully configurable in the Polymers config section.

- Placing a powered Grow Light with a bulb above an Algae Bioreactor will increase Algae growth speed.

- Various items from the mod Dumpster Diving can now be processed by machines, and will also appear in the Waste Collector.

- Injector CraftTweaker support.
