• Improved resource detection consistency across OREBOUND prospecting systems

Quantum Bore Fixes

• Reworked Quantum Bore orientation detection
• Existing backward facing Controllers can now resolve the correct structure orientation automatically
• The Quantum Drill Assembly and real World Core Deposit are now used as the authoritative alignment checks
• World Core Expanse zone detection is now informational and no longer incorrectly blocks a valid Bore
• Energy Interface and Coolant Port can now be placed on either side midpoint
• Output Port remains opposite the Controller
• Added reliable external FE capability support to the Energy Interface
• Added reliable fluid capability support to the Coolant Port
• Added reliable item capability support to the Output Port
• Cables and pipes no longer need to connect directly to the Controller
• Improved incomplete structure reporting
• Rebuilt the Quantum Bore Controller interface into a compact 360 by 244 layout

Worldheart Engine Fixes

• Reworked Worldheart orientation detection using the Core Chamber as the primary structure anchor
• Existing structures can resolve their orientation without being rebuilt
• Energy Interface and Coolant Port can now be placed on either side midpoint
• Worldheart Input Port remains opposite the Controller
• Added reliable FE routing through the Energy Interface
• Added reliable coolant routing through the Coolant Port
• Added reliable Worldheart Seed insertion through the Input Port
• External cables pipes and hoppers no longer need to connect directly to the Controller
• Rebuilt the Worldheart Controller interface into a compact 360 by 244 layout
• Preserved the existing Worldheart activation balance including the 25 billion FE reserve 5 million FE per tick active draw 100 mB per tick coolant use and 120 second activation cycle

Dimension and Progression Support

• Added craftable End Portal Frame progression for OREBOUND worlds
• Improved Nether and End compatibility with the underground progression system
• Added additional safeguards for resources normally obtained through surface or dimension based progression

Fixes

• Fixed multiple Quantum Bore false misalignment conditions
• Fixed Bore ports not exposing their intended capabilities
• Fixed Worldheart port routing inconsistencies
