UFO Future 2.1 to 2.1-fix4

This changelog summarizes everything changed, fixed, and implemented from the 2.1 release through 2.1-fix4.

Progression And Recipe Fixes

• Fixed the Quantum Matter Fabricator component matrix batch progression.
• Tesseract Component Matrix, Event Horizon Component Matrix, and Cosmic String Component Matrix now require 24 of the previous tier to craft 1 of the next tier.
• This replaces the incorrect bulk behavior that made late component tiers much cheaper than intended.
• Clarified the first Quantum Matter Fabricator multiblock setup by making the preview point players toward Stellar Field Generator Mk.I or better.
• The first QMF path no longer appears to require an Event Horizon Component Matrix through the preview/candidate display.
• Fixed T1 catalyst recipes that shared nearly identical ingredient signatures.
• Each T1 catalyst family now has its own signature ingredient:
  • Matterflow Catalyst T1 uses White Dwarf Fragment Dust
  • Chrono Catalyst T1 uses Neutron Star Fragment Dust
  • Overflux Catalyst T1 uses Pulsar Fragment Dust
  • Quantum Catalyst T1 uses Nuclear Star
• Removed obsolete QMF bulk catalyst recipes that could conflict with the intended DMA catalyst progression.
• Fixed another process recipe collision where White Dwarf Fragment and Neutron Star Fragment rods shared the same item ingredients as their dust recipes.
• Fixed duplicate UFO tool crafting patterns so paired tools no longer share the exact same shaped recipe.
• Audited generated and hand-authored recipes for duplicate signatures and blocking progression loops.

JEI And Visual Fixes

• Fixed the black/pink missing-texture background in the Stellar Nexus JEI recipe category.
• The Stellar Nexus JEI page now draws its recipe background explicitly.
• Fixed the remaining Stellar Nexus JEI background issue by removing the dependency on an external PNG for the recipe background.
• The Stellar Nexus recipe layout is now drawn directly in code, avoiding broken resource lookups or stale texture-cache issues.
• Fixed the Stellar Nexus JEI texture path again by explicitly using the lowercase ufo:textures/guis/stellar_nexus_jei.png asset and removing the duplicated uppercase asset under assets/ae2.
• Reworked the Dimensional Matter Assembler visuals with a custom Blockbench model and texture.
• Added a dedicated client-side renderer for dynamic fluid volume inside the Dimensional Matter Assembler.
• Fixed Dimensional Matter Assembler fluid rendering so it uses the fluids currently stored in the machine tanks.
• Both DMA fluid reservoirs now remain visible even when only one fluid is loaded.
• Fixed visual seams in the custom Dimensional Matter Assembler model by switching it to the correct cutout render type for its non-translucent texture.

AE2 Automation And Machine Reliability

• Fixed UFO AE2 crafting CPUs disconnecting after server/world load.
• Mega Crafting Storages and Mega Co-Processors now attempt to reform and reconnect their crafting multiblock after loading.
• Players should no longer need to break and replace those blocks manually after a world/server restart.
• Fixed Mega Co-Processor and Mega Crafting Storage formatting in the AE2 CPU selection list.
• Large values now display in readable compact form such as 50M and 1T instead of long raw numbers.
• Tightened the Entropic Assembler Matrix pattern check so only molecular-assembler-compatible patterns enter that machine path.
• Recipes with previously identical or ambiguous inputs should now behave more reliably when encoded into AE2 patterns.
• Requesting one catalyst type should no longer resolve into another catalyst with a matching ingredient set.

Guide And Localization

• Updated the AE2 guide page opened with G so mega crafting storages and mega co-processors no longer show old names.
• Replaced outdated guide names such as Quantum Drive Matrix, Tesseract Unit, Dimensional Storage Cube, Singularity Accelerator, and Qubit Co-Processor with the current 2.1 names.
• Added Simplified Chinese localization through zh_cn.json.
• The Chinese localization now matches the English language file key-for-key.
• Updated Chinese names for the mega crafting storages and mega co-processors to match the current naming scheme.

Compatibility

• Added optional Applied Flux processing recipes:
  • Charged Redstone Block to Printed Energy Processor
  • Printed Energy Processor to Energy Processor
• Added optional runtime dependency entries for Applied Flux and MEGA Cells so release builds include those integrations correctly when present.

Licensing And Credits

• Updated the project license notice.
• Source code is now declared as LGPLv3+.
• Art, textures, models, and other visual assets are now declared as CC BY-NC-SA 3.0.
• This matches the licensing split used by Applied Energistics 2.
