Flux Forge

Flux Foundry 0.3.0-beta.1 — Industrial Evolution

Flux Foundry expands with machine upgrades and wind power, giving players new ways to improve existing equipment and generate FE through smart generator placement.

Added

• Wind Generator

  • Generates FE based on its environment

  • Higher elevations provide stronger generation

  • Open, unobstructed placement improves output

  • Environmental conditions are cached for lightweight operation

  • Compatible with Flux Foundry Energy Cables and standard NeoForge FE equipment

  • Does not force-load surrounding chunks

• Speed Upgrade

  • Increases processing speed for:

    • Crusher

    • Powered Furnace

    • Alloy Smelter

  • Faster operation comes with increased instantaneous FE demand

  • Stackable with defined limits

• Efficiency Upgrade

  • Reduces the total FE required for processing

  • Does not increase processing speed

  • Can be combined with Speed Upgrades

• Capacity Upgrade

  • Increases internal FE storage of processing machines

  • Allows upgraded machines to maintain larger energy reserves

  • Safe removal rules prevent stored FE from being accidentally destroyed

• Machine Upgrade Slots

  • Crusher, Powered Furnace, and Alloy Smelter now support dedicated upgrade slots

  • Upgrade inventories persist across saves and server restarts

  • Installed upgrades are returned when machines are broken

  • Invalid items cannot be placed into upgrade slots

Changed

• Processing-machine GUIs now display and manage installed upgrades.

• Machine performance is calculated dynamically from installed upgrades rather than requiring separate machine tiers.

• Existing recipes remain the base processing definition, allowing upgrades to work automatically with datapack recipes.

• Wind generation uses cached environmental sampling rather than continuously scanning surrounding blocks.

Performance

• Wind environmental conditions recalculate on a 200-tick cadence.

• Stable single-generator testing produced exactly 6 environmental scans per 1,200 ticks.

• A 16-generator test produced exactly 96 scans per 1,200 ticks.

• Wind testing produced zero unintended chunk loads or chunk tickets.

• Existing Energy Cable performance behavior remains preserved.

Compatibility

• Existing 0.2.0-beta.1 worlds can be upgraded to 0.3.0-beta.1.

• Existing generators, processing machines, Energy Cells, cables, inventories, FE, fluids, recipes, and orientations remain supported.

• Standard NeoForge FE interoperability remains intact.

• Existing optional JEI support remains available but is not required.

Validation

• 52/52 tests passed, including all 33 previous Flux Foundry tests.

• Packaged graphical client validation passed.

• Dedicated-server validation passed.

• Third-party FE interoperability passed.

• Fresh-process persistence passed.

• Chunk-safety validation passed.

• No unresolved S1 or S2 issues remain.

Known Beta Limitations

• Functional Beta artwork

• English localization only

• No machine tiers; upgrades improve existing machines instead

• No item or fluid pipe networks yet

• No offline generation or chunk loading

• Wind visuals remain focused on functionality rather than advanced animation

• Steam, turbines, and advanced industrial power systems are planned for future development

Requires Minecraft 26.3, NeoForge, and Java 25.
