Hi, This update is meant to be a once and a while general clean up and hopefully performance update. Please keep in mind most of this stuff is still kinda experimental so things are Subject To Change! I also added some stuff :3

Added Only 7 Quests to Chapter 2. This is because I started to work on Chapter 2 more but then sidetracked to performance and clean up changes. 0.4b will have all of Chapter 2 done, just lemme cook.

Added Data and Essence, A Magitech Mod useful for later progression.

Added Inventory Essentials.

Added Not Enough Trials (Trials rework).

Changed How world generation is calculated and loaded. Now world gen should be more consistant and the chunks should stay loaded when you look away from them. Performance shouldn't be affected. *

Changed How frequently light maps update. Results in a minor but noticeable performance boost. *

Rewrote How some recipes were created and loaded. Very minor but also noticeable load time boost. *

Cleaned Up the config files and removed unnecessary files and folders.

Fixed A lot of minor recipes, such as plates, wires, and rods. 

Updated Mods.

Removed EMF and ETF due to a very common issue on startup where a large number of models were not compatible with EMF and ETF, leading to an increased load time.

Removed Night Lights due to errors on startup.

Removed PneumaticCraft oil spawns in world. Immersive Petroleum replaces all recipes.

Invisibilized The Pastel questline until I actually finish it.

These changes resulted in an 11-19% faster startup (sub 200s in some cases but average 215s) along with faster world generation and improved FPS up to 20fps more in certain cases. Please keep in mind modpack startup is multithreaded and having more threads will obviously make the pack load faster. DO NOT complain to me about your little i5 8th gen not loading the pack fast enough, goofy.

* = Subject To Change

Real quick, in accordance with my scope of this project, I have hit a point where I need to start thinking and working about creating my own mod. Given I haven't done this before, it might take a while to nail. Along with this, next update will (or at least should) include the entirety of Chapter 2, and along with this, my school semester is starting soon so time will be... somewhere. 

Updates will probably be once a week for a bit while my plans stabilize. I will try my best keep up.
