What's new

  • Fixed recipes that blocked each other. When two recipes take the same ingredients, the game only ever makes one of them. A scan of every recipe in the pack found 30:
    • Iron, gold and leather armour gave Modern Companions' "archaic" and "rugged" lookalikes. Those recipes are gone, so you get the normal armour again. Companions wear any armour, vanilla included.
    • Structurize's Build Tool and Shape Tool shared a recipe with companion spears. Spears now use a two-wide grid (head, stick under it, stick diagonal).
    • Farmer's Delight knives shared a recipe with companion daggers. A dagger is now a knife plus one more ingot.
    • IE alloy bricks vs Domum Ornamentum cream bricks (now sandstone and bricks in two columns), feta cheese vs yogurt (feta is now three milk bottles in a row, makes two), two pairs of companion potion vessels, and IE's copper nugget vs Create's (Create's stays).
    • Create ore processing made Mekanism or IE lead and uranium from the same crushed ore. It now always makes IE's, which the pack uses. Pressing electrum always gives IE's plate, and washing an industrial iron window pane weathers it again instead of turning it into glass.
  • Modern Companions' diamond gear is Blacksmith-only, like vanilla diamond gear. Diamond weave and light, medium and heavy diamond armour, and diamond clubs, daggers, glaives, hammers, quarterstaffs and spears are made by the colony Blacksmith (hut level 3) from the same ingredients plus steel.
