Flux Forge

Flux Foundry 0.6.0-beta.1 — Smart Logistics

Smart Logistics is here. Take control of your Item and Fluid networks with filters, priorities, Round-Robin routing, and Stockkeepers that automatically maintain target inventory levels.

Added

• Item Filters

  • Nine configurable ghost-filter entries

  • Whitelist and blacklist modes

  • Configure filters on Extractor sources and individual destination connections

  • Empty filters permit all resources

  • Filter configuration does not consume or create real items

• Fluid Filters

  • Nine configurable ghost-filter entries

  • Whitelist and blacklist modes

  • Source and destination filtering

  • Configure fluid identity without consuming the contained fluid

  • Water, Lava, Steam, and Exhaust Steam remain distinct resources

• Destination Priority

  • Set individual destinations from −10 to +10

  • Higher-priority destinations receive resources first

  • Full, filtered, satisfied, or unavailable destinations automatically allow fallback

  • Partial acceptance sends the remainder to lower-priority destinations

• Round-Robin Routing

  • Available for both Item and Fluid networks

  • Distributes successful transfers among equivalent destinations

  • Automatically skips full, filtered, unavailable, or satisfied destinations

  • Destinations automatically rejoin rotation when they become available again

• Item Stockkeepers

  • Configure a destination to maintain a chosen amount of an Item

  • Supports targets up to 1,000,000 items

  • Transfers only the amount currently needed

  • Never removes excess inventory

• Fluid Stockkeepers

  • Maintain a chosen amount of Water, Lava, Steam, or another compatible fluid

  • Supports targets up to 1,000,000 mB

  • Transfers only the current deficit

• Smart Logistics Configuration

  • New local configuration interface

  • Server-authoritative settings

  • Persistent filters, priorities, routing modes, and Stockkeeper targets

  • Smart settings survive saves, chunk unloads, and server restarts

Improved Routing

Smart Logistics evaluates routing policy before committing resource movement:

Source Filter → Connectivity → Destination Filter → Stockkeeper Demand → Capability Acceptance → Priority → Distribution Mode → Transaction

This allows filters, priorities, Stockkeepers, and Round Robin to work together without bypassing existing sided inventory or fluid rules.

Performance

Smart Logistics retains Flux Foundry's cached logistics architecture.

• Stable 10-, 100-, and branching Item/Fluid networks completed their observation windows with zero topology rebuilds or discovery work

• Network discovery remains bounded to 4,096 visits per level per tick

• A 200-tick Smart Logistics test with 16 Item and 16 Fluid destinations completed with zero topology rebuilds, discovery, endpoint refreshes, induced chunk loads, or chunk tickets

• Stockkeeping examines only the configured destination rather than scanning the entire network

Compatibility

• Existing 0.5.0-beta.1 worlds upgrade directly to 0.6.0-beta.1

• Existing unconfigured logistics automatically retain permissive behavior:

  • no filtering

  • priority 0

  • existing Balanced routing

  • no Stockkeeper restriction

• Existing Item/Fluid Pipes, Extractors, machines, power systems, Steam systems, and upgrades remain compatible.

• Uses standard NeoForge Item, Fluid, and FE capabilities

• JEI remains optional

• No additional technology mod is required

Steam Age Compatibility

The complete Steam power cycle remains unchanged:

1,000 mB Water → 1,000 mB Steam → 4,000 FE gross → 950 mB recovered Water + 50 mB makeup → 25 FE Pump cost → 3,975 FE net

before Boiler fuel economics.

Validation

• 113/113 tests passed

• 90/90 previous tests retained

• 23 new Smart Logistics tests

• 0 failed

• 0 skipped

• Item duplication incidents: 0

• Item deletion incidents: 0

• Fluid duplication incidents: 0

• Fluid deletion incidents: 0

• Fluid identity corruption incidents: 0

• Unauthorized configuration mutations: 0

• Actual 0.5 → 0.6 migration passed

• Fresh-process persistence passed

• Actual chunk unload/reload passed

• Partial-network fresh restart passed

• Packaged graphical client passed

• Dedicated client/server passed

• Production-only server passed

• No unresolved S1 or S2 findings

Known Beta Limitations

• Filters currently match registered resource type rather than exact stack components

• One Stockkeeper target per destination connection

• Stockkeeping conservatively pauses for inventory/tank views exposing more than 4,096 slots/tanks

• Compact English-only configuration controls

• No request terminal yet

• No network-wide inventory search

• No autocrafting

• No digital storage

• No wireless logistics

• No chunk loading

Requires Minecraft 26.3, NeoForge 26.3.0.33-beta, and Java 25.
