The Game balance Changing update

• Nerfs as far as the eye can see

• Recipes for Environmental Tech got a lot more expensive
• Like, a lot more
• Environmental Tech miners now cost way more energy to run
• Environmental Tech solar panels produce slightly less energy now
• Tier 1 still produces 648RF/t
• Just getting Tier 1 solar has become a lot more expensive though
• RFTools Builder in quarry mode now uses more energy and is slightly slower
• RFTools Dimensions now use more energy
• Quantum Quarries disabled completely
• Extreme Reactors now less fuel efficient and produce less RF/t
• Extreme Reactors Turbines are more efficient to balance this out with later-game tech
• Deep Resonance crystals now produce 50% the RF/t, but also store 2x as much energy in total. If you don’t need to max out your RF/t, this is actually a buff.
• RFTools Power Cells in wireless mode significantly less efficient over distance.

• Cyberware slightly buffed

• You now have 150 tolerance instead of 100, split 100 / 50.
• That’s 25 tolerance extra for free without drawbacks

• RAM (memory) usage should be reduced significantly in this version!

• This is thanks to the inclusion of the great FoamFix mod.
• FoamFix does what it promises and makes Minecraft, particularly with big modpacks, use 15-25% less RAM on average.
• If Minecraft slowed down your whole computer for you after a while, you can try lowering the amount of allocated memory a bit after this update. If you have “only” 8GB total RAM and have constant lag, try assigning 3.5GB allocated memory or less.
• FoamFix has, a few hours ago. changed its license to GPLv3 with a special exemption for linking with Minecraft and associated libraries and can be included in Curse modpacks as 3rd party mod.
• (Why yes, that *is* my name at the license section of the FoamFix website)

• Computercraft should now properly work thanks to the Unborked mod.

• This is a non-Curse mod, the author has given permission for this mod to be included in Curse modpacks.

• A few other new mods:
  • CCTweaks
  • Plethora
  • OpenFM

• Everything’s been updated to the latest available version. A few highlights:

• EnderIO has re-added ME conduits and dense ME conduits
• Vazkii wanted to push Quark over 100 features, and has released the “101 features update”
• Tinker’s Construct has re-implemented bows and arrows
• Deep Resonance should work properly again
