New Feature/items

New Biome

• Added the new Rift Wastes biome.
• Contains stronger Rifts and spawns Rift monsters.
• Added Stellar Ore and Resonance Crystal Clusters.
• Added a new type of tree unique to the biome.
• Added new biome-themed building blocks.

Circuit Station

• Mid-tier electronics machine linked to an Access Terminal for power and security
• Two ordered input slots, one Solder Alloy slot (1 solder per craft), and one output
• Builds logic boards, chips, Machine Casing, Reinforced Machine Casing, and Quantum CPU
• Recipes listed in JEI under Circuit Station

Circuit components

• Blank Circuit Board, Solder Alloy, Wiring Harness, Basic Logic Board, Advanced Logic Board
• Machine Casing is now a flat crafting component (no longer placeable)
• Reinforced Machine Casing for late machines

Storage Module

• Crafting grid shows a clear cross when it contains items. Clicking it moves the grid contents into storage

New mobs

• Crocodile
  • Aggressive swamp predator. Hunts players on land and in water, prefers returning to water
  • In water it can grab a player into a deathroll (top-down view, periodic damage, then bleed)
  • Full Crocodile Armor set makes crocodiles ignore you (unless you attack them)
  • Drops 1-3 Crocodile Hide
• Burrowmaw
  • Neutral adult. Digs into soil, travels underground with a raised soil trail, then emerges where it last traveled
  • Idle burrow lasts about 60s. Combat burrow is shorter and aims near the angry player. Early emerge if a player is within 4 blocks while idle-tunneling
  • About 1 in 5 underground cycles drops 1-3 of a random c:raw_materials item at the surface during travel
  • Tempted and bred with any c:raw_materials item. Fits in a minecart
  • Babies are passive (no dig, no attack). Attacking a baby angers nearby adults
  • Drops random c:raw_materials
• Thunder Screecher
  • Neutral flying mountain bird. Perches about 1 minute, then patrols the sky for about 5 minutes
  • Takes off early if something comes within 8 blocks while perched
  • When angry: circles the player, dives with a beak strike, and in rain/thunder can scream to call lightning onto the target
  • Drops 1-2 Charged Plume, 20% chance for 1 Egg
• Chainhorn Behemoth
  • Neutral plains herd brute. Spawns where cows do, in small groups
  • Melee horn sweep knocks sideways and can apply bleed
  • Ground rake in a forward cone (about 4-10 blocks out) deals heavy damage, knockback, bleed, strips soft surface, and flings loose sand/gravel
  • Adults can be sheared for exactly 2 Behemoth Horn. Horns regrow after 45 minutes. Ground rake only while horns are present
  • Tempted and bred with wheat, seeds, flowers, or apple. Babies are half size, passive, and cannot be sheared
  • Drops 1-2 Behemoth Horn
• Undertow Serpent
  • Neutral ocean swimmer. Aggressive toward players who are not at full health (also when provoked)
  • Vortex ring pulls nearby swimmers in. Lunge bite applies bleed, then it retreats before the next pass
  • Needs water. Takes drown damage on land
  • Drops 1-2 Undertow Fin

Behemoth Tools

• Behemoth Sword, Pickaxe, Axe, Shovel, Hoe, and Bow
• Diamond-tier stats, 1717 durability, repaired with Behemoth Horn
• Behemoth Bow: full draw in 13 ticks, innate Power II and Punch I (stack with table enchants)

Crocodile Hide Armor

• Full set: crocodiles ignore you, unlimited water breathing, faster swimming, clearer underwater vision

Storm Collector

• Weather generator with 256 KFE buffer
• Rain 64 FE/t, thunder 256 FE/t, lightning strike burst 1024 FE/t for 15s (120s strike cooldown)
• Acts as a lightning rod (attracts natural lightning)
• Crafted from Machine Casing, 4 Charged Plume, Resonance Coil, and Lightning Rod
• Securable via configurator linked to an Access Terminal

Hydro Turbine

• Waterlogged FE generator driven by nearby water flow strength
• Buffer 256000 FE, peak 256 FE/t at full flow
• Securable via configurator linked to an Access Terminal

Field PDA

• In-game guidebook with categories for Rift systems, machines, fauna, flora, workers, and equipment
• Still a work in progress. Entries may contain mistakes, inconsistencies, or leftover filler text
  

Changes

Crafting progression

• Basic Chip, Advanced Chip, Quantum CPU, and Machine Casing now craft in the Circuit Station
• Mid and late machines use Machine Casing or Reinforced Machine Casing with fewer one-step ingredients
• Laser Defense Unit requires a Laser Emitter instead of LED and Basic Chip
• Assembly Machine requires Reinforced Machine Casing

Tooltips

• Removed redundant item and block help tooltips already covered by the Field PDA
• Energy, fluid, and similar status readouts on items stay in the tooltip
  

Fixes

ProjectE EMC

• Corrected and completed missing EMC values for components and machines
• Rescaled the EMC ladder so top-tier items stay under about 1M EMC

Warrior

• Follow recall no longer applies leftover fall damage after teleporting to the player from a pit

Miner Drone

• Void items stay saved on the drone after it is picked up and placed again

Optimization

• Improved Storm Collector model rendering.
• Improved Laser Defense Unit model rendering
