0.1.9 — Cannons & warfare, 22 mod updates, and a deep audit

Big one: new combat mods for your airships, a pack-wide mod refresh, plus everything from the unpublished 0.1.8 audit. Update both client and server.

💣 New: artillery, missiles and air warfare (10 mods)

Create Big Cannons was already aboard — now it has a full fleet around it:

• CBC: Advanced Technologies — new cannons and mechanics
• CBC: Compact Mount — compact cannon mounts, perfect for airships
• CBC Ballistics — ballistic calculator for precise long-range fire
• CC:CBC — control your cannons from ComputerCraft computers
• Create Missiles — guided missiles
• Create: The Air War — aircraft weapons and air combat
• Create Defensive — defensive turrets
• Create: Ballast — ballast blocks for airship trim
• Create: FlyHigher — higher flight ceiling
• Create: FastSchematicCannon — faster schematic printing

⬆️ Updated: 22 mods

Highlights: TerraFirmaCraft 4.2.6 (adds dromedary and bactrian camels!), Steam 'n' Rails 0.3.0 (many crash and recipe fixes), Sophisticated Backpacks, JEI, ModernFix, both Xaero maps, Simple Voice Chat and more. Two updates were held back after testing: bits_n_bobs 2.x conflicts with TFMG, and Create Thrusters 1.1.0 kicked every player on login (a Curios-related crash, reported upstream) — both stay on their previous versions for now.

🔍 From the 0.1.8 audit (first time on CurseForge)

A systematic audit with 37 automated review agents, every finding verified against the live game:

• 117 Create recipes were silently dead — Copper Backtank, Mechanical Drill, Schematicannon, Elevator Pulley, Depot, Crushing Wheels and dozens more are craftable again; Train Station, Rope Pulley, Speedometer, diving gear and Netherite Backtank got their recipes back
• Golden foods and cakes had zero nutrition and never rotted — proper TFC food stats restored
• Six more broken quest tasks fixed (clay, rock anvil, Mars wood tasks and others)
• Client crash fixed: a missing bundled mod (KubeJEI) made a script error screen appear on CurseForge installs — clicking it crashed the game

📜 Fixed: "the copper for the anvil quest uses vanilla copper ingot"

As reported — thank you! That task (and two similar ones: a gold task in Beneath and the iron element quest) required the vanilla ingot, which you can't smelt in a TFC world. All three now accept the ingots you actually make (TFC/GregTech), with the vanilla ones still counting. A follow-up audit of all 1835 quest tasks found two more vanilla dead ends, both fixed: the Lightning Rod is craftable again (3 copper rods, just like its quest describes), and the Saddle can now be crafted from leather, string and a copper ring instead of being loot-only.

⌨️ Keybind defaults actually work now

The pack's default keybinds were silently not applying (wrong file all along). Now they do, including two new unbinds: Tool Belt's "Open Belt Slot Inventory" no longer steals V from TFC's Place Block, and FTB Chunks' "Open Map" no longer sits on M (use Xaero's World Map). Your own custom binds are never overridden.

0.1.8 — Deep audit: 13 hidden bugs found and fixed

This update is the result of a systematic audit: we took every bug pattern fixed since release, hypothesized where else each pattern could strike, and swept the whole pack with automated agents plus live-server verification. 13 confirmed issues, all fixed. Server-side: update both your client and, if you run one, your server. No mods added or removed, safe to update mid-game.

⚙️ Fixed: 117 Create recipes were silently dead

The biggest find. An internal recipe-replacement rule was accidentally deleting the pack's own replacement recipes for Create — meaning all this time you could not craft, among others: Copper Backtank, Mechanical Drill, Schematicannon, Elevator Pulley, Depot, Hand Crank, Crushing Wheels, Clipboard, Basin, Chute, Mechanical Arm and dozens more. All 117 are back, verified one by one against the live game.

On top of that, several Create items whose replacement recipes were never ported now use their standard Create recipes again: Train Station, Rope Pulley, Speedometer, Copper & Netherite Diving Gear, Netherite Backtank.

🍎 Fixed: golden foods and cakes had zero nutrition

Golden Apple, Enchanted Golden Apple, Golden Carrot, Glow Berries, Chorus Fruit and all cakes (including TFC cake) gave no hunger, no saturation, no nutrients — and never rotted. They now have proper TFC food stats and decay like everything else.

📜 Fixed: six more broken quest tasks

Follow-up to the 0.1.7 quest cleanup, this time in look-at-block tasks: "find clay", "find a rock anvil", and the Mars crimson/warped wood tasks pointed at block tags that don't exist in 1.21 — they could never trigger. Fixed; two tasks about content that isn't ported yet (Beneath hornfels, spice block) became simple check-off tasks.

🔍 For the curious

The audit ran 37 automated review agents over the pack's ~250 scripts, cross-checked every claim against the actual game (a lesson learned: "the recipe file exists" does not mean "the recipe is alive"), and every fix above was verified on a live server before shipping.
