What's new
2.4.0.r
New Features
- Significant improvements to world generation
- Chunks should load noticeably faster @Micomi
- Improvements to nether and void hexes @Micomi
- Nether hexes should have lava instead of water
- Void hexes are generally emptier than before.
- The generation of boulders has been overhauled @ExXec and Micomi
- Boulders generate at or near the center point of hexes
- Boulders now use a custom selection system, which ensures a reasonably uniform distribution of boulder encounters.
- In other words, you should be able to find one of each boulder before finding repeats.
- Boulders no longer generate in nether hexes to give more space to fortresses and to prevent them being eaten up by basalt deltas.
- The terrain around boulders should be significantly smoother and natural looking, instead of square slabs of ground.
- A new JEI/EMI tab for OPA 1214 Froth Flotation @Barza
- For each element, shows an overview of the flotation, with the fluids involved.
- Also shows a list of material outputs, sorted into primary and secondary.
- Primary is items like the pure dusts or other important materials like manganese.
- Secondary is other outputs from the processing that aren't as relevant but still present.
- The info may not be perfectly accurate and for now, only available for elements that can be processed.
- The AE2 Growth Accelerator has been enabled to work on a lot more than just budding crystals and crops. @Barza
- Technical note: Accelerators work with things that need random ticks to work. What follows is a list of the enabled things that use said random ticks.
- Recrystallization steps for 2,5-Dimethoxybenzoic Acid and 2,5-Dimethoxy-1,4-Benzenedicarboxylic Acid
- Converting Organic Compost into Rich Soil
- The actual Rich Soil. Have fun. (Also supplementaries planters)
- Pointed Dripstone. Yes. Really.
- Immersive Engineering Slag Gravel (It passes on growth ticks to kelp planted on it, boosting its growth speed.)
- Gamerules are now handled through config and will be set across all singleplayer worlds. @Micomi
- Finite water is now handled through these gamerules.
- Improvements to Gliders
- The previously useless nether upgrade for gliders has been repurposed into a Manasteel Structural Upgrade
- It enables repair with mana like manasteel gear.
- The glider now indicates what to do when broken
- EMI now shows how to repair and upgrade the glider.
