Createch 2 — v0.6.7e

Questbook rebalance

• Rebalanced the complete 1,044-quest progression without changing the existing chapter structure.
• Removed all quest loot-table rewards that could skip machines, materials, exploration, or entire progression steps.
• Every quest now awards scaled XP instead:
  • 5 XP for minor tasks
  • 15 XP for standard progression
  • 40 XP for major milestones
  • 100 XP for age-defining achievements
• Reduced inventory-detection tasks from 1,207 to 931.
• Replaced many passive item checks with block observation and advancement tasks.
• Removed manual checkmark tasks where progress can be verified automatically.
• Rewrote and shortened quest descriptions so objectives are clearer and less repetitive.
• Side chapters are now presented as optional contracts for deeper play instead of mandatory completion requirements.
• Standardized the full questbook and GuideME documentation around Tiers 0–16.

Progression authority

• Added a new Single Authority pass to reduce overlapping systems and give each major mod a clearer role.
• Power Grid is now the player-facing electrical infrastructure backbone.
• Enabled MI’s bidirectional NeoForge energy compatibility so industrial machines can participate in the shared power network.
• Removed craftable Mekanism universal cables.
• Contained MI and Modern Dynamics electrical cables as internal or hidden components instead of competing player-facing networks.
• Modern Dynamics now focuses on industrial item and fluid transport, with newly balanced recipes for:
  • Item Pipes
  • Fluid Pipes
  • Extractors
  • Attractors
  • Filters
  • Inhibitors
  • Machine Extenders
• Trimmed Classic Pipes back to its intended early enclosed-logistics role.
• Retiered Mining Gadgets across titanium, platinum, iridium, Power Grid, digital, and quantum infrastructure.
• Removed duplicate vanilla copper equipment and redundant HardRock primitive tools.
• Removed Mekanism Tools from the pack because its equipment duplicated established TFC and industrial progression.

Geology and ore processing

• Reinforced TerraFirmaCraft geology as the pack’s primary physical ore authority.
• Disabled Create’s independent world generation.
• Disabled NuclearCraft’s duplicate ore generation.
• Removed AllTheOres raw ores, raw blocks, and world ores from common ore tags, crafting, loot, and JEI.
• AllTheOres remains available for standardized processed metal forms where appropriate.
• Almost Unified no longer treats duplicate ores and raw materials as preferred outputs.
• Added MI macerator concentration recipes for graded TFC Metallurgy ores.
• Poor, normal, and rich ores now produce increasing concentrate yields.
• Added concentration support for:
  • Bauxite
  • Bertrandite
  • Magnesite
  • Monazite
  • Native Osmium
  • Native Platinum
  • Rutile
  • Spodumene
  • Stibnite
  • Uraninite
  • Wolframite
  • Zircon
• Direct furnace and blasting shortcuts remain blocked for advanced materials such as aluminum, iridium, osmium, platinum, and uranium.

TerraFirmaCraft compatibility and performance

• Removed the redundant global TFC recipe-replacement sweep.
• TFC compatibility is now handled primarily through item tags and narrow Createch-owned block tags.
• Preserved cross-mod support for TFC:
  • Wood
  • Stone
  • Leather
  • Fibers
  • Paper
  • Glass
  • Ceramics
  • Tools
  • Armor
  • Metal forms
  • Industrial components
• Eliminated hundreds of unnecessary recipe modifications during loading.
• Reduced the risk of placement and interaction delays caused by overly broad compatibility handling.
• Added registry checks to JEI and creative-tab cleanup so missing items are skipped cleanly instead of generating repeated warnings.

Chance Cubes

• Removed progression materials, machines, ores, alloys, and industrial components from custom Chance Cube reward pools.
• Rewards now focus on food, decorations, novelty tools, music, consumables, and morale items.
• Chance Cubes should provide memorable events without solving the factory for the player.
• Converted destructive creeper and delayed-blast outcomes into safety inspections and dramatic false alarms.
• Updated Giant Chance Cube rewards with the same progression-safe philosophy.

Menu and presentation

• Rebuilt the Createch 2 menu presentation around a new planet-in-space panorama.
• Added new title, subtitle, status, tagline, and version artwork.
• Added individually designed artwork for:
  • Continue
  • Singleplayer
  • Multiplayer
  • Options
  • Field Manual
  • Quit
• Updated all major menu screens to match the new visual language.
• Added Seamless Loading Screen for smoother transitions between menus and worlds.
• Added a direct YetAnotherConfigLib dependency for consistent configuration support.

Additional changes

• Raised the Cosmonautics Overworld and Moon transfer ceiling from 1,024 to 20,000 blocks.
• Disabled FTB Chunks force-loading to reduce persistent background server load.
• Reduced natural mooshroom conversion frequency.
• Updated AE2 Wireless Terminals.
• Updated Productive Farming.
• Updated Supplementaries.
• Updated TarotCards: Remastered.
• Updated JEI sorting and duplicate-item cleanup.
• Removed stale Legendary Survival Overhaul configs and leftover .bak files from the export.

Updating existing worlds

Existing worlds remain usable, but geology and world-generation changes only affect newly generated chunks. Mekanism Tools was removed, so equipment from that mod will not carry forward into 0.6.7e.
