Progressione più chiara, spiegazioni pratiche e maggiore spazio alle mod principali, ai loro addon e alle integrazioni. Tutti i testi sono disponibili in inglese e italiano.

Riviste le casse loot di mob ostili, passivi e boss, con una maggiore varietà di premi. Corretti il crash all’apertura e l’assegnazione errata delle casse Boss.
Aggiunte mete dimensionali facoltative e una sfida ripetibile contro il Piglich con premi dedicati.
Ridotta la frequenza dell’armatura Andromeda nei bauli esplorabili.

Prestazioni e grafica

Migliorate sensibilmente sincronizzazione e fluidità delle Colossal Chest di grandi dimensioni, anche utilizzate insieme a Refined Storage.

Aggiunte texture connesse e texture personalizzate per sole e luna.
Rinnovati menu, pulsanti, schermata di caricamento, loghi e grafica dei capitoli delle quest.

Mod, ricette e correzioni

Aggiornati NeoForge e numerose mod; aggiunte QoL e integrazioni selezionate per magazzini, automazione e comodità quotidiane.
Ricontrollati ricette e script personalizzati rispetto agli aggiornamenti. Corretti riferimenti obsoleti, conflitti fra ricette e diversi problemi di integrazione.
Sistemati gli upgrade di lavorazione di Better Furnaces e inclusi i modelli delle stanze di Compact Machines, già disponibili nei nuovi mondi.
Riordinata la visibilità nella JEI di contenuti non supportati, inutilizzati o tecnici, ripristinando quelli tornati utili.
Aggiornate NeoGundam e NeoGundam Blocks: ricette corrette, Sleeper migliorato, pozione di resistenza al Wither ottenibile tramite distillazione, insegna modulare e nuovi modelli 3D dell’equipaggiamento.

Installazione e aggiornamento

Aggiunto il pacchetto dedicato ai server.
Le nuove installazioni partono con tasti originali, limite di 60 FPS, VSync attivo e shader disattivati, con Bliss già selezionata.
