⚡ Mekanism Optimizer v1.1.0 Release Notes

Mekanism Optimizer v1.1.0 is a major update focused on eliminating TPS lag, GC pauses, and memory allocation bottlenecks across Mekanism and its popular add-on mods (Astral Mekanism, Mekanism Extras, Evolved Mekanism, etc.), especially under extreme tick-accelerated environments (e.g. Torcherino).

🚀 Highlights & Key Optimizations in v1.1.0

1. ⚡ Astral Mekanism \(O(1)\) Zero-Allocation Processing

• Zero-Allocation Operation Calculations: Eliminated hundreds of thousands of ItemStack.copyWithCount(...) and SIMULATE allocations per second in Astral Mekanism factories. Processing limits are now calculated instantly in \(O(1)\) time.
• Cached Recipe Outputs: Reused static output ItemInfuseOutput and InfusionStack instances across ticks, drastically reducing Garbage Collection (GC) pauses.
• Fixed Power Calculation Bug: Fully enforced superclass energy consumption rules (storedEnergy / energyPerTick) to ensure machines never run without power.

2. ⚡ Fast Fail-Quick Tank Validation

• Instant Early Return for Full Tanks: Chemical and fluid tanks now immediately return when full (getNeeded() <= 0), bypassing heavy validation logic and eliminating CPU lag caused by upgrade components.

3. ⚡ Core Mekanism & Network Performance Tuning

• Instant Ejection Responsiveness: Removed hardcoded 10-tick (0.5s) delays in TileComponentEjector for smooth, uninterrupted item output.
• Transmitter & Network Caching: Optimized energy, fluid, and chemical transmitter calculations to reduce per-tick iteration overhead.
• Empty Slot Fast Skip Engine: Skipped expensive capability checks on empty inventory slots in \(O(1)\) time.
• JEI & Addon Compatibility: 100% crash-free startup compatibility with Astral Mekanism greenhouses, advanced factories, and JEI recipe syncing.

4. 🛡️ Dynamic Addon Safety Plugin

• The mod dynamically detects installed add-ons at runtime (astral_mekanism, etc.) and safely activates optimizations only when needed. Operates with 0 crashes even if add-ons are missing.

📌 Note on Overclocked Multi-Burst Ejection (512st/t)

• Mekanism Optimizer is strictly designed as a balance-neutral optimization mod.
• If you wish to achieve extreme multi-burst transfer speeds (up to 512 stacks/tick) for ultra-accelerated automation, please install Mekanism Overclocker alongside this mod.
