IF YOU ARE UPDATING FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION, BREAK ALL ELEMENTAL ACTUATORS BEFORE LOADING UP YOUR WORLD.

New Features

• Added the Conjurer, a T3 device that creates blocks or items from nothing. Functionally it's a magical cobblestone generator that can do things other than vanilla cobblestone.
• Added Crystal Candles, a decorative lighting item. It looks like the crystal at the top of the Variegator. Added the Provide Materia construct task. The construct will deliver materia to a device that needs it—currently the Alchemical Nexus, Centrifuge, Fusery, Variegator, Conjurer, or any Elemental Actuator. Please note that a construct providing to the Nexus creates MUCH slower shlorps than the Nexus using its built in
• Elemental Actuators can now be fueled with either the appropriate elemental Essentia, the appropriate elemental Eldrin power, or both. Supplying the actuator with both makes the device draw power only 1/3 as frequently (configurable). This should alleviate the Eldrin power crisis at T3 and make using actuators a lot more viable before Wellspring capturing. Like sorting materia, you can do advanced provisioning if the construct has a smart head, a caster arm, and is made of all T3+ materials.
• Materia Vessels and Jars now have comparator support.
• Elemental Actuators now use a shared, generic config for operation time.
• You can no longer insert an unbound Power Spike into the Charging Talisman.
• Added decorative Bleached Amethyst Blocks. They also cast light.

Tweaks & Balance Changes

• Materia that has yet to be bottled now appears as a little globby instead of using the bottled texture. Materia provided by constructs also delivers in this globby, unbottled form and can't be manually extracted.
• Admixtures now have different textures depending on how far removed that Admixture is from being comprised of only Essentia. This should help make similarly colored Admixtures a bit more distinct from each other.
• Bangles can also be crafted with Bleached Amethyst.
• Reduced the Albedo and Citrinitas requirements of the Grand Distillery.
• Fixed a massive framerate drop while looking at the Distillery's plugin compatibility.
• Ritual of the Balanced Scales no longer creates incorrectly colored shlorps if exact numbers are in the jars/vessels.
• The Orb of Alchemical Creativity can be inserted into the materia slot of Elemental Actuators to put them into creative mode.
