High-Altitude Alchemy

1.2.10 Patch Notes: Additions:

• Bastions can now spawn in the nether, this change is unlikely to apply retroactively to already generated worlds but go exploring and see. This comes with an overhaul to all bastion chest loot pools to include relevant early-game loot items such as tier skipping for lead, zinc and redstone, early electrum and signalum as well as sourcegems and black lotuses for magic enjoyers,
• A new pre-Prismatter power generation multiblock: the Large Compression Engine is a multiblock version of the thermal compression dynamo, being able to run on all the same fuels (and a few extras) with a varying power output based on the fuel (from 1kRF/t up to 10kRF/t). The LCE builds up a lot of heat while it burns fuel so make sure to cool it down!,
• Big Reactors reinforced reactor and turbine casings, mekanism induction and reinforced induction casings all gain bulk crafting recipes in the component assembly,
• The Ember Bore has a custom Ponder screen explaining how to set it up,
• Create casings (not including train casings) can be made in a crafting table with identical materials to how they would be made in-world,
• Diamonds no longer use uranium in their spirit altar recipe, instead using ruby now, also their spirit requirement has been reduced from 64 -> 32,
• Uranium recipe in the arc furnace has had its RF per tick cost reduced from 25,000RF/tick -> 8,000 RF/tick,
• Witches have a small chance to drop a single spawn egg for a few passive mobs (cows, sheep, pigs, chickens),

Quest Changes:

• Added a new quest in "Building an Arsenal" questline detailing structure changes in the nether and possible alternate progression paths,
• Copper ingot quest in "Building an Arsenal" mentions transforming smooth stone into granite,
• Philosopher Stone quest in "Building an Arsenal" mentions the remote crafting table hotkey,
• Some quests in "Building an Arsenal" have small relevant rewards,
• Shuffled a few quests around in "Building an Arsenal" to minimise overlapping dependency lines (the quartz quest no longer cites gold as a dependency but this has functionally no difference to how it was before),
• Diamond and Uranium quests in "Building an Arsenal" have been moved and had dependencies rearranged to account for new recipe changes, notably diamonds now depend on osmium instead of uranium and have a new dependency for "Thermal Gems" although only requiring the ruby from that quest,
• Quests in the "Building an Arsenal" questline that have embedded images have had their images moved to the second page of the quest,

Small Changes:

• Lead Ingot recipe in the alloy kiln outputs a lead ingot from Thermal instead of Embers, the quest for this also now looks for a Thermal lead ingot,
• MIR multiblock has a sound while running (uses the mekanism fission reactor running noise),
• Vanilla armour pieces have a tooltip to explain their reduced durability,
• Rainbow Jelly has a new texture,

Fixes:

• Fixed an issue with a multiblock pattern expecting invisible feral flare lantern lights,
• Fixed an issue where quantised items couldn't be used to craft blocks of their respective material,
• An intermediary step between raw jellies and rainbow jellies has been added to account for the mixing basin only accepting up to 9 items,
• Quantised sourcegems can be used in the luminessence recipe now,

Added Mods:

• Ponder for KubeJS,
• FramedBlocks
