Well, I've said before that I'd abandoned this modpack - and although that's true, I did want to update it one final time due to the sequel being released (and I'm so on-time for that!) in addition to the 8-year anniversary (which I couldn't meet since CurseForge had to reject the update twice).

A couple mods have been deleted off of CurseForge, so I've removed or replaced them (full list at the bottom, as usual).

I recommend making a new world if you're not too far into the pack due to the overhauled quests and sizeable changes to the modlist.

Anyway, onto the changes & fixes.

Main changes

Fixed issues #4, #5, #6, #7, and #8
Finally managed to make the Tome of Knowledge recipe shapeless (as it was always meant to be)
- Also moved it to the Huge Crafting Table

Added a proper logo to the quest book
Rebalanced the rewards for basically every quest
Changed most Submission tasks to Detection tasks
- This means you no longer have to effectively trash a bunch of useful items to finish one quest
Changed all Crafting tasks to Detection tasks
- This lets you easily complete quests if you did something out of order (or resumed an existing world), and lets you submit existing items for newly-added quests (because I'm definitely going to update this ancient pack again).

Renamed most quests
Changed every cringy quest description
Fixed multiple typos in (almost) every quest
- I doubt I got them all, so feel free to report anymore you find

Disabled the update checkers for every mod that let me do so
- Due to how ancient this version of Minecraft is, it can cause issues (and annoying chat spam) since many of the servers have been taken down or moved - so it's best to disable them (and it's not like anyone's making mods for this version anyway lol).

Balance changes

Disabled the Uncrafting Table
Changed a lot of stuff for Universal Coins
- Slashed the sell price of RF (now 5 coins for 10k RF)
- Added several items (but there's still way too many to add everything)
- Adjusted the spawn and droprates of coins

Tinker's Tools now cap out at level 5, and receive bonuses at levels 2 - 5
- New modifier slots are given at levels 3 and 5
- New tools start with 1 modifier slot

Added EMC values to a few items that were missing it
Restored the default recipe for the Watch of Flowing Time
Increased the difficulty of Runic Dungeons (to make them a high-risk, high-reward venture)
- Re-enabled the various artifacts from the mod
Added some modded ores to the Runic Dungeons generator

Heavily nerfed a lot of stuff from Draconic Evolution
Nerfed the capacity of Ender IO's Energy Capacitors
Slightly increased the capacity of the Leadstone Energy Cell
Tweaked the value of the Alchemical Coin

Recipe changes

Made the ME Security Terminal much cheaper
Added a recipe to upgrade the Energy Acceptor into a Controller
Removed the Rotten Heart Grindstone recipe
Removed the Grindstone recipe for Bedrock and Command Blocks
Added a recipe to craft Iridium Reinforced Plates with Iridium Ingots
- I can't remove the default one though, so both are usable

Added a recipe for the Toaster
Changed the recipe for the Alchemical Coin Mill
Added a recipe to craft Raw Carbon Fibre with Charcoal Dust
Added recipes to process Thorium Dust (from Magneticraft)

Changed the recipe for the Green Heart Canister
- Now uses a Yellow Heart Canister + 1 Empty Canister instead of 2 Empty Canisters
Changed the recipe for the Mystical Cache
- Now costs 2 Obsidian Coins to craft 4 of them and is Shapeless
- Added a recipe that uses 5 Diamond Coins to craft 2 of them

Quest changes

Tweaked the names of many quests
Tweaked the rewards of most quests
The Black Hole Band quest no longer consumes the band
Fixed a bunch of other broken quests I forgot to list

Greatly reduced the amount of items required for all the quests in "Endgame"
"Advanced Mana Generation" (previously named "Hard-to-Use Generating Flowers") no longer consumes the flowers
"Altar Upgrades" now explains what each Rune does

Rebalanced several rewards
Removed all the troll rewards

Overhauled the reputation system
- There's now only 1 reputation bar (which definitely isn't inspired by Half-Life)
- Said bar now renders in every chapter
- You gain points from almost every quest
- Some quests require certain rep thresholds to complete

Misc changes

Replaced both Dark Mode texture packs with GTNH Dark Mode

Re-organized the tabs in the Thaumonomicon
- Vanilla order is unchanged
- Next is Thaumic Exploration
- Thaumic Tinkerer
- Electro-Magic Tools
- ConveyorCraft Compat
- Railcraft Compat
- AOBD Compat

Disabled Thermal Foundation recipes for Super Multi-Drills' items
Disabled Thermal Foundation and Tinker's Construct Drill Heads (from Super Multi-Drills)
Disabled all Thermal Foundation equipment
- The only exception is Invar Tools since they're used in MFR's recipes
Re-enabled ProjectE's Loot Orbs

Added power generation tooltips to Advanced Solar Panels
Added sorting rule tooltips to all Logistics Pipes modules
Added tooltips to all Sigils denoting their LP cost
- You still have to find out what they do on your own though (it's more fun that way, ya know?)

Renamed Credit Cards to Debit Cards
Fixed the names of a few items that aren't being localized for whatever reason
- Unfortunately, I can't get Resource Loader's lang file system working - so they're all renamed with CraftTweaker (meaning it's english-only). If anyone knows how to fix it, please let me know.

Disabled Nether Ores' Grindstone and Smelting recipes
Re-enabled Nether Osmium and Iridum Ores
