NeroAgriculture

Resource-farming overhaul beta.

Added

• Field Generator: an early coal- or charcoal-powered source for adjacent machines.
• Extraction, research and synthesis recipes for all built-in catalog materials; vanilla ore materials also accept their ordinary mining drops as samples.
• Conservative catalog-backed fabrication for explicit material definitions and selected common tagged metals, with sample, discovery and research requirements and existing recipe precedence.
• Optional catalog definitions for Nerosium, Nerosteel, Xertz Quartz, Cindrite and Glacite; the three planet-specific resources require a visit and their corresponding growing world.
• Optional Mars Hematite and Nyxara Voidglass seeds require their actual items, planet visits and matching growing worlds; each has distinct seed and fragment models.
• Optional Stalker Hide and Stalker Sinew material definitions for NeroCreatures.
• Sample-based definitions for string, leather, slime balls, gunpowder, blaze rods and ender pearls.
• Owner-aware progression for crop towers, including Core data erasure and migration of ownerless towers.
• Distinct coal, iron, copper, gold, redstone, diamond and five planetary-material seed models on Minecraft 26.1.2 and newer; matching fragments and existing seeds select them from their saved material component.
• Metal, crystal and carbon crop model families, with a generic fallback and migration for existing crops.
• Seed tooltips show catalog-defined base yield, conversion and world or gate requirements. The revised catalog network packet requires the same overhaul build on clients and servers.

Changed

• Territe grow beds now open a passive farming screen with seed and output slots. Seed use on a bed's side opens its screen; seed use on top still plants by hand.
• Automatic common-metal recipes and generic conversion exclude ore-only discoveries, including config overrides, to avoid farming ore blocks. Explicit datapack definitions and conversion recipes remain available.
• The Field Generator recipe unlocks in the vanilla recipe book from its ordinary crafting ingredients.
• Speed and yield fertiliser can be applied directly to grow beds by hand.
• Positive seasonal yield modifiers no longer round a productive resource harvest down to zero.
• Crop towers respect material world restrictions and report a wrong-world seed without consuming it; manual and automated harvests also leave existing crops intact when their required world changes.
• Fresh coal crops yield two fragments instead of one, reducing the wait for the first conversion.
• Resource crops grow faster on random ticks, shortening the wait for starter and higher-tier harvests.
• The research bench uses a crafting table instead of a lectern, reducing the early book and leather cost.
• A crop can roll for a bonus seed on its first harvest only, preventing repeated copying of its genetics.
• Player-bound automation uses its recorded owner; it pauses when that owner is unavailable, and older ownerless machines can be claimed by opening them with owner tracking enabled.

Fixed

• Crop towers can use stored power for hostile-environment growth even when the cost exceeds their external transfer rate; the low-power status accounts for the environment surcharge.
• Grow beds, greenhouses, area machines and terraforming controllers use their stored energy for internal work instead of limiting each operation to the machine's external transfer rate.
• Resource crop textures now use neutral shading so material tints remain visible instead of darkening red and purple crops against green pixels.
• Coal dropped by ordinary mining is accepted for extraction, research and seed synthesis; coal ore blocks remain accepted where the common coal ore tag is available.
• Alloy fusion now checks the target material's discovery and research when research is enabled. Existing seeds and world data are unchanged; fusion recipes need a matching research recipe.
• Harvest yield caps and catalog-defined material colours now apply consistently across farm paths.
