Flux Foundry 0.15.0-beta.1 — Technical Changelog

FF-015B — Modular Controller Scaling

Minecraft 26.3 | NeoForge 26.3.0.92 | Java 25

Added

• Modular Controller Scaling: Expand industrial networks using Basic Controller Modules.

• 16 Built-in I/O: Every master Controller provides 16 logical I/O connections.

• Basic Controller Modules: Each powered module contributes an additional 16 I/O, supporting up to 272 total hardware I/O with 16 modules.

• Modular Multiblock Assembly: Orthogonally connected Controller Modules form an expandable structure.

• Hybrid FE Distribution: Modules accept power directly from Energy Cables or through master Controller distribution.

• Endpoint Priority Management: Configurable Critical, Normal, and Low priorities.

• Automatic I/O Assignment: Deterministic endpoint allocation based on priority, existing assignments, and resource ownership.

• Controller I/O Management: Native interface for monitoring capacity, module status, endpoint assignments, and suspension reasons.

• Survival Crafting: Added Basic Controller Module recipe, models, textures, localization, and Creative tab entry.

• In-Game Guide: Added documentation for Controller expansion, power requirements, and I/O management.

Basic Controller Module Specifications

• 16 I/O capacity per powered module.

• 4,000 FE internal storage.

• 128 FE/t maximum combined energy input.

• 2 FE/t operating consumption while contributing capacity.

• 0 FE/t consumption while inactive.

• Maximum 16 modules per master Controller.

• Supports direct and master-distributed FE.

Improved

• Added durable logical endpoint registration and capacity accounting.

• Implemented automatic endpoint suspension when available I/O falls below demand.

• Suspended endpoints retain commissioning, configuration, and physical resource ownership.

• Restored capacity automatically reactivates eligible endpoints.

• Protected active jobs, inventories, machine leases, claims, and transaction receipts during capacity changes.

• Added deterministic handling of module power loss, disconnection, and restoration.

• Preserved Controller identity and existing network associations during hardware expansion.

• Integrated capacity management with the FF-015A legacy migration foundation.

Migration & Compatibility

• Existing grandfathered Controller capacity remains protected through the verified FF-015A migration authority.

• Legacy capacity floors permanently retire when sufficient physical Controller hardware is installed.

• Removing modules or losing power does not restore a retired legacy exemption.

• Existing Controller identities, Recipe Drives, machines, and autocrafting jobs remain preserved.

• Existing 0.14.1 worlds are supported.

• Older 0.13 worlds require the documented offline migration procedure before opening under the new version.

• No changes to existing machine recipes, resource-processing balance, or autocrafting output quantities.

Validation

• 481/481 packaged tests passed.

• 481/481 development tests passed.

• 7/7 client tests passed.

• 22/22 mandatory release gates passed.

• Verified module power accounting, brownout recovery, capacity suspension, endpoint admission, and permanent legacy retirement.

• Validated multiplayer, dedicated servers, graphical operation, and fresh-process persistence.

• Confirmed Assembler backpressure, physical surplus recovery, and Steam resource accounting.

• All 157,909 protected historical files preserved.

Not Included

• Advanced and Industrial Controller Modules.

• Controller-managed Fluid Nodes.

• CAN networking and advanced backbone systems.

• Digital storage expansion.

These remain future development milestones.
