BETA 0.2

New Mods:

• VanillaFix
• Provides some nice performace gains and fixes a few bugs/exploits, what’s not to love?

• Hardcore Darkness
• Because it just isn’t dark enough outside at night in vanilla. Even if torches are temporary, you’ll going to need them now.

• Toast Control
• No, I don’t want or need to be told to use WASD to move for the 9001st time

• SwingThroughGrass
• You’re surrounded by horde spiders. On plains. ...does this really need more explanation?

• Ping
• “Here!” “Where?” “here?” “WHERE!?”

• Inspirations
• Tons of useful tweaks and small fun/helpful features.

• Storage Drawers
• I know you want to keep all those items in store, you filthy hoarder

• Inventory Tweaks
• Once you get used to it, you just can’t play without

• GraveStone Mod
• Lootsplosions are nice, but not in this game.

• Better Advancements
• Vanilla advancements UI kind of sucks at times. Maybe this can make it bearable.

• AppleSkin
• With tons of food rebalance taking place, it’s nice knowing how much foods actually restore

• CraftTweaker + ModTweaker
• Allows us to go full-retard with balance changes

Updated Mods

• Dynamic Trees (0.7.6 → 0.7.7d)
  • Newest beta contains some improvements to world gen speed and avoids some cascading chunk gen
  • Some minor bugs fixed and small features added

Other changes

• Removed vanilla flint and steel recipe. Use cheaper (although more complex) primal recipe instead.
• Removed some lingering furnace recipes that allowed obtaining vanilla charcoal without using charcoal pits (burning Thaumcraft logs)

Better with mods

• Disabled HC Modules
  • HC Beds
    • HC Beds was blocking Thaumcraft progression so sleeping needs to be made possible again. Luckily Primal Core offers an option to prevent setting spawnpoints thus this should not be an issue
  • HC Villages, HC Structures
    • Gameplay value of abandoned zone around the spawn proved to be minimal.

Waystones

• Lowering waystone cooldown resulted in ability to (ab)use them without much consideration at all. Restoring xp costs and increasing cooldowns should help with that.
• Set maximum XP cost to 8 levels
• Set blocks per XP level to 160 (roughly 1280 blocks to reach maximum cost)
• Teleport button cooldown increased from 120 to 300
• Warp Stone cooldown increased from 300 to 600
• Use of Warp Stone now costs XP
• Use of Inventory Teleport Button now costs XP

Ping

• Maximum ping distance set to 128 blocks

Hardcore Darkness

• Gamma override set to 0
• Minimum block light set to be dependent on moon phase

Inspirations
