0.12 does three things: a manual for the player, a product line that reaches other mods, and the Vibranium Sword.

A manual

Built on Patchouli: the PotatoS&T Handbook is granted on your first join, and can be recrafted from a book + an iron ingot. Six categories, eighteen entries, from your first Micro Crusher to Star Steel and Vibranium — written separately in all five languages. Patchouli is a required dependency.

Four nuggets

Aluminium / Cobalt / Nickel / Silver Nuggets. Vanilla recipes (one ingot into nine nuggets, nine back into one), tagged c:nuggets so other mods recognise them.

Plates that talk to other mods

Iron, copper, aluminium, silver, nickel, cobalt and steel plates now carry the c:plates/* common tags. Immersive Engineering's Metal Press and Create's pressing lines (including Diesel Generators and Electrodynamics) can work our plates directly.

Universal Upgrade Template

A new item. Craft it from eight aluminium ingots around one Netherite Upgrade Template. Put it in the smithing template slot and it substitutes for any upgrade template — vanilla netherite, our Vibranium, any other mod's. The one exception is a real conflict: if two upgrades share both a base and an addition but produce different results, neither will accept it. The Vibranium Sword and the four Vibranium armour pieces now use this template.

Vibranium Sword

Unbreakable. 24 damage, 1.4 attack speed, enchantment value 1; immunity to Wither, Slowness and Mining Fatigue while held. Shift + right-click slams the ground: every creature in a 6×6 area except yourself is thrown, takes your base damage + 12, and is blinded and slowed for 4 seconds. 6-second cooldown.

Machines and feel

• All 33 machines share one mining rule now: a pickaxe speeds it up, an empty hand still drops the block. Same for the two ports. Fixed solar panels dropping nothing.
• All fifteen fluids (crude oil, diesel, gasoline, naphtha, LPG, four acids…) are animated.
• Silver / nickel / aluminium / cobalt ingots and the four nuggets were redrawn, Star Steel got a new ingot texture, and the Oil Pump gained proper top and bottom faces.
• Fixed: the Starfall Pendant going dead after leaving and re-entering a world.

Not done yet

• The Wrench, Advanced Metal Block and Stable Metal Block are still creative-only (the wrench matters most — it is how you take multiblocks apart).
• Tungsten is a dead end: wolframite drops raw tungsten, and nothing consumes it yet.
