Arcforge 2.5.0

Added

• Machine control API for other mods (first used by Encoded Logistics). A new block capability,
  arcforge:machine_control, is on every Arcforge machine and on every block of a formed multiblock (resolving to its
  controller). Through it, other mods can:

  • read a machine's status, progress, current outputs and energy, items, fluids and heat;
  • insert into its input, fuel and catalyst slots and extract from its outputs, always through the machine's own
    rules;
  • change its redstone mode, sides or ports, auto-eject and machine-specific options;
  • read its statistics and listen for status changes, finished operations and faults.

  The API is published separately as net.zagdrath.arcforge:arcforge-api (interfaces only, with its own semantic
  version; this release ships 1.1.0). See docs/API.md. GameTests check it on every machine and every
  multiblock.

• Gas API for other mods (API 1.1.0). Other mods can now store and move Arcforge gases without sorting them from
  liquids:

  • a gas identity (Gas), with its id, name, colour, temperature in kelvin and steam grade, and a lookup of every gas,
    other mods' gases included, for search and display;
  • a gas handler block capability, arcforge:gas_handler. It is on every machine with a gas tank, on every block of
    such a formed multiblock, and on Pressurized Cylinders. It lists the gas tanks with their gas, amount and capacity,
    and inserts and extracts by gas and amount through each tank's own rules;
  • the same capability on Gas Cartridges and Jetpacks, so another mod's GUI can fill and empty them.

  Amounts are in mB, as for fluids. Gas colours come from a new synced data map, arcforge:gas_properties, which packs
  and other mods can add their own gases' colours to. GameTests check the registry, a Pressurized Cylinder, the Haber
  Reactor and Electrolyzer, the gas items, and that every machine a pipe can feed gas into has a gas handler.

• Machines can be switched off remotely. A mod using the API can switch any machine or multiblock off. It then
  stops as if its redstone mode stopped it, keeps its contents, and its GUI shows the new status Switched off
  remotely. Machines are on unless switched off this way, and the switch is saved with the machine.

• Machine statistics. Every machine now counts the operations it completes, the items and fluid it produces and
  consumes, and how long it has spent running and loaded. The totals are saved with the machine. For now, other mods
  read them through the API; the GUIs don't show them.

Changed

• Steam Turbine Array: a real turbine-generator set. Formed, the array hides its casings and glass and is drawn as
  one machine along its axis, from the steam end to the generator end: a steel plinth (a deck on stepped footings, or
  stepped columns when the structure is taller than the turbine needs); turbine casings on one shaft, each a round
  casing split along the middle by a bolted flange line, growing from high to low pressure (3 to 5 long one turbine
  casing; 6 to 9 high and low pressure; 10 to 15 high, intermediate and a double-flow low-pressure casing with a
  flanged crossover pipe from the intermediate casing's top into the middle of the low-pressure casing); bearing
  pedestals with the shaft and couplings between the casings; a steam chest, stop-valve housings and inlet pipes on the
  high-pressure casing; the low-pressure exhaust neck pointing down; and the generator (lighter steel, cooling ribs, a
  terminal box with FE-red bushings, an FE-red band). Casing diameters follow the cross-section's shorter side (the
  low-pressure casing nearly fills it, the high-pressure about half) and the sections share the length (about 15 / 20 /
  30 / 25%, the rest bearings and couplings); a cross-section wider than tall gets a walkway with railings along its
  front. Every casing has an inspection window on both sides with its bladed rotor behind it (more and longer blade rows
  as the pressure drops), turning with the rotor, so spin-up and coast-down show; the generator's coupling turns too.
  Ports get a nozzle from the machine out to their face; the fitted spots are on top over the steam chest (steam), the
  generator end (energy) and underneath the exhaust neck (Exhaust, where a Condenser Array can connect). Jade names the
  section you look at ("Section: Low-pressure casing") and the fitted spots. A new turbine now starts with a steam, an
  energy and an Exhaust port on those spots (move or clear them with the Wrench; turbines already built keep their
  ports). Unformed casings, the GUI and how the turbine runs are unchanged. The old see-through rotor, lining and steam view are
  gone.

Fixed

• Nether generation crashed with BetterNether (with WorldWeaver) installed: Feature order cycle found between
  minecraft:warped_forest and betternether:old_fungiwoods. Nether Sulfur Ore was placed in the same worldgen step
  as BetterNether's ores, which come after it in vanilla biomes and before it in BetterNether's own. It now uses the
  underground ores step, which nothing else uses in the Nether. It generates the same as before. A GameTest checks
  the step in every Nether biome.

Arcforge 2.4.0

Upgrading

• The config is regrouped into eight categories with subcategories (Heat & Power, Machines, Multiblocks, Farming,
  Logistics, World Generation, Equipment, Security), so many paths in arcforge-common.toml changed: Steam is now
  under power.steam, the machines under machines.processing / chemistry / automation, the farming pages under
  farming.growing / cropProcessing / farmChemistry / automatedFarms, and meters, chargepad, reservoir,
  experience, quantumTunnel and chunkLoader under logistics, ores and haliteBeds under world, and tools
  and foundrySuit under equipment. Your settings carry over: the first time it loads, the file's old sections
  are moved to their new places before it's read. A server's config does the same.
• New client config arcforge-client.toml for each player's own settings.
• Fermenter second input slot (for slime cultures). Saved Fermenters keep their crops, additive, output and
  upgrades: the upgrades move up past the new slot when the world loads. Its input, second input and additive slots
  now stack on the left of the arrow.
• Data packs: new recipe type arcforge:culturing (Fermenter cultures).
• Steam and power config values reset to their new defaults. Keys whose meaning or default changed were renamed, so
  old values are not carried over; set them again if you had changed them:
  • power.steam.steamBoilerArray: heatCapacityPerHeight, maxHeatPerTickPerHeight, tankCapacityPerHeight become
    heatCapacityPerSection, maxHeatPerTickPerSection, tankCapacityPerSection (per 3×3 of footprint per block of
    height; same defaults).
  • power.steam.steamTurbineArray: maxFlowPerLength, tankCapacityPerLength, exhaustTankCapacityPerLength become
    maxFlowPerSection, tankCapacityPerSection, exhaustTankCapacityPerSection (per 3×3 of cross-section per block of
    length; same defaults); energyCapacity and maxEnergyOutput are replaced by energyBufferTicks (400).
  • power.steam.gasTurbineArray: maxFuelHuPerLength (560) becomes maxFuelHeatPerLength (2,500), fuelTankPerLength
    (8,000) becomes fuelTankCapacityPerLength (32,000); energyCapacity and maxEnergyOutput are replaced by
    energyBufferTicks (400).
  • power.steam.superheaterArray: heatCapacity, maxHeatPerTick, tankCapacity, maxFlow become
    heatCapacityPerCube, maxHeatPerTickPerCube, tankCapacityPerCube, maxFlowPerCube (per 27 blocks; same defaults).
  • power.steam.condenserArray: tankCapacity, baseRate, maxRate become tankCapacityPerCube, baseRatePerCube,
    maxRatePerCube (per 27 blocks; same defaults).
  • New: power.generationMultiplier (1.0) and the power.burners.fireboxArray section.
• Built arrays keep working. Saved 3×3 Steam Boiler, Steam Turbine and Gas Turbine Arrays and 3×3×3 Superheater and
  Condenser Arrays load as they were. A Steam or Gas Turbine Array's FE buffer is resized to its new size when the world
  loads (it keeps the FE it held).
• Chemical Reactor third item slot. Saved Chemical Reactors keep their items, tanks and upgrades: the upgrades move up
  past the new slot when the world loads. The three input slots are re-stacked in the GUI (y 17/35/53).
• Thermal Evaporator Array by-product tank loads empty in saved towers. Towers without a Lithium Brine port keep
  making Salt (the Lithium Brine that doesn't fit is lost).
• Arcforge Furnace routing: Coal Coke put in through a port now goes to the fuel slot unless the metal slot already
  holds Coal Coke (it's a Graphite "metal" now). Steel lines are unaffected.
• Spodumene generates only in newly explored chunks.
• New config sections and keys power.batteryArray (with lithiumCellCapacity and powerRegulatorTransfer),
  ores.spodumene, ores.spodumenePegmatite and multiblocks.thermalEvaporator.byproductCapacity get their defaults.
• Data packs: arcforge:chemical_reacting recipes may take a third_item_input (it needs a second_item_input);
  arcforge:evaporating recipes may have a byproduct fluid. Existing recipes load unchanged.
• New config sections machines.automation.treeCutter, machines.chemistry.hydrothermalCarbonizer and farming.growing.loam get their defaults.
• New upgrade type, Range (Tree Cutter only). Existing machines' upgrade slots are unchanged.
• New config sections power.burners.flueGas, machines.chemistry.carbonReclaimer, machines.chemistry.gasifier and
  machines.chemistry.fischerTropschReactor get their defaults.
• Flue gas is opt-in. The Combustion Plant, Firebox, Fuel Burner, Firebox Array and Gas Turbine Array gain the Gas
  Output side mode / port (named Flue Gas in their Sides and Ports tabs). Saved burners keep their sides and give off
  nothing until a face is set to it, so existing setups run exactly as before.
• Data packs: new recipe types arcforge:carbon_reclaiming, arcforge:gasifying and arcforge:fischer_tropsch, new
  tags #arcforge:carbon_fuels (items and fluids) and a new arcforge:burner_fuels entry for Syngas.
• New config sections and keys machines.processing.sifter, machines.processing.diamondPress and
  farming.farmChemistry.biogasDigester.sulfurPerThousandMb get their defaults.
• Biogas Digester sulfur slot. Saved digesters keep their items; the slot list grows by one on load (the digester
  has no upgrades, so nothing moves). New port mode Sulfur (set with the Wrench).
• Data packs: new recipe types arcforge:sifting and arcforge:diamond_pressing.

Added

• Arc Quarry finished toast: when an Arc Quarry finishes, the player who placed it gets a toast (with the blocks
  mined and where), if they're online. Turn it off in the new client config (Arcforge Client → Notifications).
• Three ways to make Slimeballs:
  • Crafting: 2 Pine Resin + 1 Kelp (shapeless) make a Slimeball.
  • Chemical Reactor: 250 mB of Latex + 1 Lime Dye make 2 Slimeballs.
  • Slime culture in the Fermenter: a Slimeball in the additive slot as the starter culture (never used up), Sugar
    and Kelp in its two input slots (either way round) and 250 mB of water grow a new Slimeball into the output slot in
    60 s (Ethanol takes 10 s). No Ethanol or Carbon Dioxide comes of it, and Dried Hops don't change it. The Fermenter
    gains a second input slot for it. New recipe type arcforge:culturing; the amounts and time are in the recipe.
  • A JEI category (Slime Culture) and a Slimeball information page, Handbook lines under Pine Resin, Latex and the
    Fermenter, and GameTests.
• JEI drag-and-drop onto ghost slots: drag an item from JEI onto a Conduit Filter entry, an Arc Quarry filter cell
  or an Assembler pattern cell to set it, as clicking with the item does. Fluid and pressurized conduits' filter entries
  also take dragged fluids and gases (and items holding one). Only the slots that take what's being dragged light up.
• Firebox Array, a large heat source: a hollow box of Firebox Array Casings with one Firebox Array Controller, 3 to 7
  by 3 to 9 across (in any combination, so it needn't be square) and 3 to 5 tall. Its edges are casings; its walls, floor
  and roof may be Pressure Glass, through which you see the fire burning on its firebrick-lined floor.
  • It makes 160 HU/t per block of its volume (a 3×3×3 makes 4,320 HU/t, a 7×5×9 50,400 HU/t, all the biggest Steam
    Boiler Array can take), with a heat buffer, fuel tank and oxygen tank that scale with it.
  • It burns solid fuels (#arcforge:combustion_fuel, at a Firebox's heat per item and 1,100°C; Coal Coke at 1.5× a
    coal's heat and 1,300°C) and any liquid or gas in arcforge:burner_fuels (at the Fuel Burner's HU per mB and the
    fuel's own temperature). Oxy-fuel through an Oxygen port adds 300°C, as on the Firebox. It pauses while it's as hot
    as its fuel burns.
  • Ports like the other arrays: Input (fuel), Oxygen and Heat (out, as fast as it burns).
  • Its own GUI, Handbook page, JEI build view and information, Jade tooltip, GameTests, and two advancements (Stoke the
    Fires; the challenge Roaring Inferno for a 7×5×9). All its values are in the new power.burners.fireboxArray config.
• Renewable coal:
  • Tree Cutter, an FE machine that plants saplings from its three sapling slots in a 5×5 area in front of it (in 2×2
    patches with gaps, so spruce, jungle and dark oak grow into big trees) and fells every fully grown tree there: all its
    logs, its leaves and what they drop (saplings, sticks, apples), 2×2 trees included. Saplings refill its sapling slots
    so it replants; the rest goes to 9 output slots. Bone Meal in its fertilizer slot grows the saplings faster. 200 FE
    per log, 20 per sapling; a tree needs natural leaves (so log buildings are safe) and one over 256 logs is left
    standing. Side configuration; Speed, Energy and the new Range Upgrade (a block wider on each side per card).
  • Bio-Coal and the Block of Bio-Coal. Bio-Coal works as coal everywhere: it's #arcforge:combustion_fuel,
    burns as long as coal in vanilla furnaces too (the block as long as a coal block), bakes into Coal Coke and Creosote
    in the Carbonizer and crushes into Carbon Dust in the Arc Crusher.
  • Hydrothermal Carbonizer, a heat (HU) machine that only runs at 200°C or hotter: 8 biomass + 500 mB Water make
    1 Bio-Coal in 10 seconds for 6,000 HU, and 300 mB of the water comes back out of a second tank. Side configuration;
    Speed and Heat upgrades. A Discard returned Water toggle under the returned tank throws that water away
    instead (and keeps the tank empty) when you don't want to pipe it. New recipe type
    arcforge:hydrothermal_carbonizing (ingredient, optional count, result, water, water_return, optional
    heat and time; the counts, heat and time default to the config).
  • **New tag `#arcforge:bioma...

Arcforge 2.3.0

Upgrading

• Chemical Reactor third input tank and Electrolyzer liquid output tank. Saved machines keep everything in their
  tanks and slots. A saved Electrolyzer keeps its side settings, so its bottom stays as it was; set it to Output with the
  Wrench (or in the Sides tab) to pipe Lye out of it. Newly placed ones have the bottom set to Output.
• Halite generates only in newly explored chunks.
• New config sections and keys multiblocks.thermalEvaporator, machines.electricPump.seawaterBiomeTags,
  ores.halite, haliteBeds, machines.electrolyzer.liquidTankCapacity and
  farming.loamFarmland.legumeNutrientsPerStage / rotationMultiplier get their defaults.
• Leaching recipes in data packs that name arcforge:sulfuric_acid still work; the built-in ones now take the tag
  #arcforge:leaching_acids (Sulfuric and Hydrochloric Acid).
• Infuser additive slot (for Pine Resin). Saved Infusers keep their wood, tank and upgrades: the upgrades move up past
  the new slot when the world loads.
• Chemical Reactor by-product tank and Grain Dryer fluid tank load empty in saved machines. The reactor's output
  and by-product slots now stack after the arrow (the second output tank sits where the by-product slot was) and its
  status line moved under the tanks; nothing in the slots moves.
• Recipes that now need Rubber Gaskets or PVC Sheet (see Changed): make some Rubber first, or a data pack can put the
  old recipes back.
• Wild Rubber Dandelions generate only in newly explored chunks.
• New config sections farming.vulcanizer and farming.resinTap, and farming.grainDryer.tankCapacity, get their
  defaults.
• Data packs: arcforge:infusing recipes may take an additive ({"ingredient", "count"}) instead of a fluid;
  arcforge:drying recipes may take a fluid ({"fluid" or "tag", "amount"}) instead of an ingredient;
  arcforge:chemical_reacting recipes may have a fluid_byproduct. Existing recipes load unchanged.
• Vacuum Collector experience tank. Saved collectors load with an empty Liquid Experience tank. Fluid conduits
  touching an Output face of one now connect to it (they find its experience there).
• New config sections reservoir, experience, quantumTunnel and chunkLoader get their defaults. Chunk Loaders
  load chunks for their owner only up to chunkLoader.chunksPerPlayer (25); raise it on servers that need more.

Added

• Reservoir: a 32,000 mB glass tank in a thin steel frame. Reservoirs that touch merge into one tank of any shape and
  size (like OpenBlocks tanks), sharing one liquid that fills from the bottom up: drawn as one tank, with the frame only
  round its outer edges and the liquid as one body at its level (glowing for glowing fluids). Any block takes and gives
  the liquid (buckets, conduits, pipes), a comparator reads the whole tank, and a broken block keeps its share on the item.
  Tanks of different liquids stay apart. Separate from the tiered Fluid Tanks, which are unchanged.
• Liquid Experience, a glowing pale-green fluid at 20 mB per experience point, in c:experience so other mods' liquid
  experience works with it, with a bucket.
  • XP Drain: a grate placed on top of any fluid container (a Reservoir, a Fluid Tank, another mod's tank). Experience
    orbs that land on it run into the container below; a player sneaking on it is drained a level at a time.
  • XP Shower: hung under a block, fed Liquid Experience by conduit or from a container above; it gives a player
    sneaking under it experience a level at a time. A redstone signal turns it off.
  • Vacuum Collector: also collects experience orbs into a 16,000 mB Liquid Experience tank that conduits drain from
    its Output faces (the GUI shows it at the right).
  • Rates in the new experience config section.
• Quantum Tunnel (late game: Arcforged Alloy, Arcite and Ender Pearls). Every tunnel on a frequency, anywhere and in
  any dimension, shares one buffer of FE, heat, liquid, gas and items (sizes in the quantumTunnel config).
  • Frequencies are named in its GUI, public (anyone) or private (the owner and the players they trust at their Security
    Terminal); the maker may delete one. Each face is set for each resource to none, input or output; output faces push
    into what they touch.
  • A thin dark frame cube with Arcforged-cyan corner caps, a socketed port on each face (a blank collar until set, then the
    ring of its mode) and a cyan core spinning in the middle.
• Chunk Loader: keeps its own chunk, or a radius of up to 2 (5×5 chunks), loaded with NeoForge chunk tickets for the
  player who placed it (security as usual). The GUI maps the chunks and outlines them in the world while it's open. A
  per-player chunk limit (25), an option to load only while the owner is online, and an optional FE cost per chunk (off)
  are in the chunkLoader config. It stops when broken, turned off with redstone, or out of FE. A globe in a copper
  cradle on a tall pedestal turns while it works.
• Handbook pages (Reservoir, Liquid Experience, Quantum Tunnel, Chunk Loader), JEI information, Jade tooltips, and four
  new advancements (Pooling Resources, Bottled Wisdom, Spooky Action, Never Sleeps).
• Rubber.
  • Rubber Dandelion, a new crop (one block tall): yellow flowers, then white seed clocks when ripe. It drops
    Rubber Dandelion Roots and Rubber Dandelion Seeds. Wild Rubber Dandelions grow in meadows, plains and taiga
    (never snowy ones; modded biomes through #arcforge:wild_crops/rubber_dandelion), and grass drops the seeds. It grows in the Glass Cloche, Grow Chamber, Hydroponic Cell and Greenhouse Array.
  • Latex, a fluid. The Oil Press presses one root into 100 mB.
  • Resin Tap, a small rustic spout and cup hung on the side of a log with natural leaves above it (a living tree).
    Every 10 seconds it drips: 25 mB of Latex into its 1,000 mB tank on a jungle log; a 50% chance of a Pine Resin on
    a spruce log; a 15% chance on any other log (up to 16). Buckets, an empty hand, hoppers and conduits empty it. Jade
    shows what it holds and whether the tree is alive; JEI shows what each log gives.
  • Pine Resin: the Infuser takes it in its new additive slot in place of Creosote (one per plank, four per log or
    wood), so treated wood needs no Carbonizer.
  • Raw Rubber: the Grain Dryer has a fluid tank now and dries 250 mB of Latex into a sheet.
  • Vulcanizer, a single-block heat machine (HU, no FE) that only works at 140°C or hotter: 2 Raw Rubber + 1 Sulfur
    Dust make 2 Rubber (data-driven, arcforge:vulcanizing, with a JEI category). Side configuration, Speed and Heat
    upgrades, Jade info.
  • Rubber (#c:rubbers), the Block of Rubber and the Rubber Gasket (4 Rubber make 8).
• Bio-plastics.
  • Ethylene, a gas: 100 mB Ethanol + 5 mB Sulfuric Acid (the catalyst) in the Chemical Reactor make 60 mB Ethylene
    and 40 mB Water. The reactor has a new by-product tank for liquid by-products; it empties through By-product faces.
  • Plastic Sheet from 120 mB Ethylene (bio-polyethylene), beside the Light Oil + Hydrogen recipe, which stays.
  • PVC Sheet: 60 mB Ethylene + 60 mB Chlorine make 2.
  • Tag #arcforge:plastics (Plastic Sheet and PVC Sheet); PVC Sheet joins #c:plastics.
• Advancements: Dandelion Roots, Tapped and Crepe (Farming); Goodyear, Bio-Plastics and Acid-Proof (Chemistry). Handbook
  entries Rubber Dandelion, Resin Tap, Vulcanizer and Bio-Plastics, and updates to the Infuser, Grain Dryer, Oil Press and
  Chemical Processing entries. Every rate is in the config.
• Salt and chlor-alkali chemistry.
  • Halite, a new ore in stone and deepslate. It generates in large, flat underground beds (Y -32 to 40), several
    layers thick under deserts and oceans. It drops Rock Salt (Fortune works; Silk Touch drops the ore); the Arc
    Crusher grinds one into 2 Salt and the Arc Crushing Array into 4, and a halite ore gives twice that. Rock Salt packs
    into a Block of Rock Salt. Tags #c:ores/halite, #c:raw_materials/rock_salt, #c:storage_blocks/raw_rock_salt.
  • Seawater, a new fluid (#c:seawater): an Electric Pump on water in an ocean or beach biome pumps Seawater instead
    of Water (the biome tags are in the config).
  • Thermal Evaporator Array, a fixed 3×3×9 tower like Mekanism's Thermal Evaporation Plant: a solid 3×3 bottom of
    Thermal Evaporator Casings with the Thermal Evaporator Controller in the middle of one side, facing out; seven
    layers of a ring of 8 round a hollow 1×1 core, where the middle of each side may be Pressure Glass, so a window can
    run up any side; and a solid 3×3 cap. Formed, it keeps its block look with connected textures (outer rims only).
    Like the steam and gas turbine arrays' windows, each window reaches half a block into the casings round it (the
    corners, the cap and the base; the controller's side of the base stays solid), and the windows show the inside of
    the tower, lined, with the liquid rising and falling with the input tank, in that fluid's colour, with a white
    bed of salt at the bottom while it makes Salt.
    • It runs on heat (HU), only at 100°C or hotter, and faster the hotter it is: 20% speed at 100°C up to full speed
      (25 mB/t) at 400°C. Heat buffer 200,000 HU, up to 1,000°C.
    • 1,000 mB Seawater → 250 mB Brine + 675 mB Water back (6,000 HU); 250 mB Brine → 1 Salt + 200 mB Water back
      (1,800 HU). Data-driven (arcforge:evaporating).
    • Ports, set with the Wrench like the other arrays: Input (Seawater or Brine), Heat, Brine, Salt and Water. New
      Side modes brine, salt and water (port-only).
    • GUI, JEI category, Jade info, a Handbook entry and a build in the multiblock...

Arcforge 2.2.0

Upgrading

• New config section farming (compostBin, fertilizers, loamFarmland, hops, rusticMachines, millstone,
  mill, oilPress, seedExtractor, grainDryer, airSeparator, haberReactor, biogasDigester, cloche, greenhouse)
  gets its defaults, as do the Fermenter's new keys; nothing to redo.
• Chemical Reactor second item slot. Saved Chemical Reactors keep their items, tanks and upgrades: the upgrades move
  up past the new slot when the world loads.
• Fermenter additive slot. Saved Fermenters keep their crops, byproduct and upgrades: the upgrades move up past the
  new slot when the world loads.
• Wild crops generate only in newly explored chunks.
• Firebox and Combustion Plant ash slot. Both machines gain an ash slot. Saved machines keep their fuel and
  upgrades: the upgrades move up past the new slot when the world loads.

Added

• Farming, the base of a new section, with its own creative tab (Arcforge: Farming), a Handbook
  chapter and a Farming branch in the advancement tab.
  • Compost Bin. A treated-wood bin that plant matter fills like a vanilla composter (seeds, crops, leaves,
    saplings, flowers and food scraps, at the vanilla chances). When full, it makes Compost after a short
    delay. Drop items in by hand, or feed it with hoppers and conduits; they can also pull the Compost out from
    underneath.
  • Loam (dirt + Compost). Till it into Loam Farmland, which:
    • stays moist twice as long;
    • can't be trampled;
    • holds nutrients (0 to 15, shown in Jade).
      While it has nutrients, crops on it grow 1.5 times as fast, and each growth stage uses 1 nutrient.
  • Irrigated Loam Farmland (four Loam round a Copper Plate): Loam Farmland with a copper water channel,
    always moist with no water nearby.
  • Fertilizers. Use one on Loam Farmland, or on the crop growing on it:
    • Compost: +2 nutrients.
    • Wood Ash: +3. The Firebox and Combustion Plant have a new ash slot, and charcoal leaves Wood Ash half the
      time. The ash comes out through an Output face.
    • Basic Slag: +3. The Arc Crusher crushes 1 Slag into 2.
    • Mixed Fertilizer: +8, crafted from one of each.
  • Every value is in the new farming config section.
• Crops: four new crops. All grow on vanilla farmland and Loam Farmland (and use its nutrients). Each has a wild
  version in the biomes that suit it, and their seeds sometimes drop from grass.
  • Flax (wild in plains) grows two blocks tall with blue flowers. It gives Flax Fibre and Flax Seeds. One fibre
    crafts into String, and four make Linen.
  • Rapeseed (wild in meadows and plains) grows two blocks tall and flowers yellow. It gives Rapeseeds, the oil
    crop, for the Oil Press to come.
  • Sorghum (wild in savannas) grows two blocks tall with rust-red seed heads. It gives Sorghum Stalks. In the Fermenter a stalk makes 80 mB of Ethanol, more than
    any vanilla crop.
  • Hops (wild in forests) are perennial. Stand a Trellis (treated wood, up to 2 high) on farmland and plant
    Hop Seeds in the bottom one. The vine climbs, then bears Hop Cones. Picking them leaves the vine to bear again.
  • Handbook pages, Jade shows a trellis's vine, and four new Farming advancements.
• Rustic farming machines and tools: unpowered, built from treated wood, copper and iron. All ranges, rates and
  timers are in the new farming.rusticMachines config section.
  • Planter. Plants seeds from its 9 slots on the empty farmland in the 3x3 in front of it, and Hop Seeds into a
    bare Trellis.
  • Harvester. Harvests the ripe crops in the 3x3 in front of it into its 18 slots and replants each with a seed
    from its own harvest. It picks Hop Cones and leaves the vine.
  • Both run once per redstone pulse, or every 5 seconds with no redstone attached. Hoppers and conduits fill the
    Planter and empty the Harvester. There's no GUI: use them by hand to add seeds or take the harvest.
  • Fertilizer Spreader. Holds fertilizer and tops up the Loam Farmland in the 5x5 around it when a block's
    nutrients drop below 4.
  • Copper Sprinkler. Fed water from a pipe, tank, conduit or bucket, it uses 1 mB/t. It keeps farmland within 4
    blocks moist and gives the crops on it a small growth bonus. It sprays while it runs.
  • Scarecrow. A treated-wood and linen figure, two blocks tall. Mobs can't trample farmland within 9 blocks of it.
  • Iron Sickle and Steel Sickle harvest and replant the ripe crops in a 3x3; the Steel Scythe does a 5x5.
  • Handbook pages, JEI info, Jade tooltips and three new Farming advancements (Hands Free, April Showers, Reaper).
• Farm processing: machines that turn the harvest into goods. Recipes are data-driven (arcforge:milling,
  arcforge:oil_pressing, arcforge:seed_extracting and arcforge:drying), each with its own JEI category, and every
  rate is in config.
  • Millstone (rustic, no power). Put the item in and turn the stone by hand, or with a redstone pulse: wheat into
    Flour, any seeds into Seed Meal, bones into 4 Bone Meal (crafting gives 3), sugar cane into 2 Sugar. Flour
    smelts or smokes into Bread; Seed Meal is a light fertilizer (+1 nutrient).
  • Mill (FE). The powered Millstone: three lanes, each twice as fast as a recipe's base time, fed evenly from its
    input faces. Takes Speed and Energy upgrades.
  • Oil Press (FE). Presses Rapeseeds (125 mB), Flax Seeds (80 mB) and other seeds (25 mB) into Seed Oil and
    Press Cake. Seed Oil is a new fluid with a bucket; Press Cake goes in the Compost Bin.
  • Seed Extractor (FE). Threshes crops into their seeds (wheat into 2 Wheat Seeds, Hop Cones into Hop Seeds, and
    so on), for replanting and pressing.
  • Grain Dryer (heat). Dries Hop Cones into Dried Hops, wheat into Dried Grain and Sorghum Stalks into
    Dried Sorghum with HU and no FE. It only runs above 60°C.
  • Handbook pages, Jade tooltips and four new Farming advancements (Daily Grind, Grist for the Mill, Cold Pressed,
    Hop to It).
• Farm chemistry: from air and crops to fertilizer and fuel. Recipes are data-driven (arcforge:air_separating,
  arcforge:synthesizing and arcforge:digesting, plus new arcforge:chemical_reacting recipes), each with a JEI
  category, and every rate is in config.
  • Air Separator (FE). Separates the air round it into Nitrogen and Oxygen (80 mB and 20 mB every 2 s, at
    80 FE/t) with no input, anywhere but the End. Oxygen goes out of Oxygen faces and Nitrogen out of Gas Output faces;
    when one tank is full that gas goes back into the air, so it keeps making the other. A second source of Oxygen
    besides the Electrolyzer.
  • Haber Reactor (FE and heat). 60 mB of Hydrogen and 20 mB of Nitrogen make 40 mB of Ammonia every second,
    at 60 FE/t and 10 HU/t, but only at 450°C or hotter.
  • NPK Fertilizer: Basic Slag, Wood Ash and 100 mB of Ammonia make two in the Chemical Reactor. It adds 15
    nutrients to Loam Farmland and enriches it: the crop on it grows twice as fast (instead of 1.5 times) until those
    nutrients run out.
  • Nutrient Solution: NPK Fertilizer and water in the Chemical Reactor. It feeds the Hydroponic Cell.
  • Biodiesel: 100 mB of Seed Oil and 25 mB of Ethanol make 100 mB in the Chemical Reactor. A Fuel Burner fuel:
    320 HU per mB at up to 1,000°C.
  • Biogas Digester: a solid 3x3x3 of Digester Casings with a Biogas Digester Controller in the middle of a
    side. It digests crops, seeds, leaves, Press Cake and Compost in water, four at a time, into Biogas (a gas that
    burns in the Fuel Burner, 45 HU per mB at up to 1,100°C, and in the Gas Turbine Array) and Digestate, a
    fertilizer worth 4 nutrients. It needs a little heat: it only works at 35°C or hotter, using 2 HU/t.
  • Handbook pages, Jade tooltips, a build page for the digester, and five new Farming advancements (Thin Air, Bread
    from Air, N, P, K, Fryer to Fuel, Waste Not).
• Automated farms: single blocks that grow a crop over and over, the plant growing inside where you can see it
  through the glass. Recipes are data-driven (arcforge:cloche: a seed, the soils it grows in, the harvest with
  chances, the time, and how it's drawn), with a JEI category; the soils are the arcforge:cloche_soils data map (how
  each looks, and how fast crops grow in it: Loam 1.25x). Any ordinary crop from another mod (a CropBlock) that no
  recipe names still grows in dirt or Loam, giving its own drops. Every speed and cost is in config (farming.cloche).
  • Glass Cloche (unpowered): a glass bell on a treated-wood planter. A soil (dirt, Loam, sand, or soul sand for
    nether wart), a seed and 100 mB of water a harvest; about 2 minutes a crop. The harvest drops out of the bottom
    into what's under it. Its faces are fixed, with no Sides tab.
  • Grow Chamber (FE and water): steel and Pressure Glass with a grow lamp, 3x as fast, 24 FE/t. Side
    configuration, Speed and Energy upgrades.
  • Hydroponic Cell (FE and Nutrient Solution): no soil, 6x as fast, 48 FE/t and 50 mB of Nutrient Solution a
    harvest. Carbon Dioxide, if it has some, makes it 1.25x faster again. Only it grows saplings (6 logs, and sometimes
    a sapling, sticks and apples), flowers (2 a harvest) and Hops (no trellis needed).
  • All three take fertilizer (and bone meal) in a fertilizer slot: each harvest uses a nutrient point and grows 1.5x
    as fast, or 2x with NPK Fertilizer. The seed and soil are never used up.
  • Handbook pages, Jade tooltips, and three new Farming advancements (Under Glass, Grow Lights, Soil Not Included).
• Greenhouse Array: the farming section's multiblock, a glass building 5x5 to 11x11 and 4 to 8 tall. Gree...

Arcforge 2.1.0

Upgrading

• New config keys (oxyFuel, the Firebox's and Fuel Burner's oxygen tank, meters, chargepad) get their
  defaults; nothing to redo.

• Fuel Burner maximum temperature. The default is now 1,400°C, so hydrogen burns at its full 1,400°C.

  • An existing arcforge-common.toml keeps its old value (1,200).
  • Set power.fuelBurner.maxTemperature to 1400 by hand, or hydrogen stops at 1,200°C.

• Recipes need plastic now. Conduit Filters, Storage Upgrades and crafted crate and vault upgrades need a
  Plastic Sheet. Plastic needs the Chemical Reactor (Hardened), Light Oil and an Electrolyzer, so these items
  now come later in progression.

• Superheater cost. The default steam.superheaterArray.heatCostMultiplier is now 0.6 (was 1.0).

  • An existing arcforge-common.toml keeps 1.0; set it to 0.6 by hand.

• Geothermal passive heat. The defaults are now 40 HU/t per lava source and 16 per magma block (were 10
  and 4).

  • An existing arcforge-common.toml keeps 10 and 4; set power.geothermalPlant.lavaSourceHeat to 40 and
    magmaHeat to 16 by hand.

• Solar Thermal Array temperature. The default solarThermalArray.maxTemperature is now 1,100°C (was 550).

  • An existing arcforge-common.toml keeps 550; set it to 1100 by hand.

• Machine security. Machines, storage blocks and multiblocks placed before this update have no owner, so
  anyone can use them, as before, until someone opens one: the first player to open its screen becomes its owner.
  On a shared server, open your own machines before someone else does. Ops bypass security
  unless security.opsBypass is false; security.enabled = false turns it off.

• Burner fuel data packs. arcforge:burner_fuels entries take an optional "gas_turbine": false to keep
  a fuel out of the Gas Turbine Array. Entries without it are burned there, so a pack that adds a slow,
  dirty fuel may want to set it.

Added

• Advancements. An Arcforge tab, starting from the Engineer's Handbook, with six branches (Getting Started,
  Steel, Processing, Steam, Chemistry, Gear) and four challenges. Each one says what to do next.
• Oxy-fuel. The Firebox and Fuel Burner take oxygen through an Oxygen face. With it, they burn 300°C hotter (up
  to 1,600°C) and make 25% more heat per fuel, for 0.25 mB of oxygen a tick. Without it, nothing changes. Values
  under oxyFuel, firebox and fuelBurner in the config.
• Conduit Cover. Right-click a conduit to hide it inside a clear, outlined pane; it keeps working and
  connecting as before. Right-click the cover with any full block to copy that block's look, sneak-right-click
  with an empty hand to clear it, and take it off with the Wrench (Dismantle). 8 from steel plates and glass.
• Meters. Energy, Heat, Fluid and Gas Meters pass flow from their left side to their right, at up to the
  Arcforged conduit rate, and show the live rate on their screen. Set a threshold and Above/Below in the GUI for a
  redstone signal; comparators read the rate.
• Chargepad. Stand on it to charge the FE items in your hand, hotbar and armour slots. Feed it through the
  energy port on its back.
• Settings Card. Sneak-use it on a machine, conduit, Vault or multiblock to copy its setup (sides or ports,
  redstone mode, auto-eject, and extras such as the Electrolyzer's vents, the Arc Quarry's area and filter or
  a boiler's pressure); use it on another of the same kind to paste. Multiblocks must be the same size; ports
  paste relative to the structure, so a card from an east-west turbine fits a north-south one. Conduit filter
  settings paste onto sides that already have a filter (others are skipped and counted). It never copies
  items, fluids or upgrades. Sneak-use in the air to clear it.
• Machine security.
  • Every machine, storage block and multiblock records who placed it. Each player picks a default of
    Public, Trusted or Private at the new Security Terminal, and lists the players they trust.
  • A Security tab on every machine screen shows the machine's mode (Public, Trusted or Private) and lets the
    owner pick another for that machine; picking their profile's mode makes it follow the profile again.
  • Others can't open, break, wrench, paste onto or hand-fill a machine they can't access, and can't extend
    someone else's multiblock. Conduits, hoppers and other automation still work, so shared lines never
    break. The Block Breaker and Block Placer act as their owner.
  • Jade shows the owner and mode. Config [security]: enabled, opsBypass, defaultMode.
• Foundry Suit. Fire-resistant armour from Rock Wool, Slag Wool and Steel Plates. Each piece cuts fire,
  campfire and hot-floor damage by 25%; the full set makes you immune to them and gives an 8-second lava
  shield (a bar over the hotbar), which recharges a minute after you leave the lava. Repaired with Rock Wool.
• Fermenter and Ethanol. A Tempered machine that ferments crops (wheat, potatoes, carrots, beetroot, sugar
  cane, melon slices and sweet berries) with water and FE into Ethanol, sometimes leaving bone meal.
  Ethanol burns in the Fuel Burner (300 HU/mB at up to 900°C) and the Gas Turbine Array. Speed and Energy
  upgrades, JEI (arcforge:fermenting recipes), a Handbook page and a running sound.
• Dyed conduits. Craft 1 to 7 conduits of one kind with a Plastic Sheet and a dye to sheathe them in that
  colour; a sheathed conduit alone strips back to plain. Sheathed conduits only join their own colour (or
  plain ones), so parallel lines of the same type stay separate. They keep their colour when broken, and JEI
  lists every colour. The colour is in the conduit itself: an Energy or Thermodynamic Conduit's core stripe
  takes it (dim when idle, lit when carrying power; a hot thermal one brightens with its temperature), and
  the glass of Item, Fluid and Pressurized Conduits is tinted with it.
• Gas Turbine Array (Hardened). A 3x3 tube 5 to 9 long that burns Naphtha, Light Oil, Ethanol or Hydrogen
  straight to FE.
  • It burns up to 560 HU/t per block of length at 1.5 FE per HU (less for fuels burning under 1,200°C): a
    9-long array makes up to 7,560 FE/t on Naphtha, under the Superheated Steam Turbine Array's 10,080.
  • One end is the intake, which needs air in front of it; the other is the exhaust. A quarter of the fuel's
    heat leaves the exhaust at half its burn temperature, through Heat ports into a Steam Boiler Array (the
    combined cycle, about 1.94× the burner route), a Heat Cell or a Thermodynamic Conduit, or vents as heat haze.
  • The new Throttle redstone mode sets the fuel burned by signal strength (1-15). Starting takes a
    second of ignition; running dry is a flameout, with a short wait before it relights.
  • The rotor spools up and coasts down, and a whine climbs with its speed. Through its windows: a compressor of
    many thin blades in stages that narrow toward a glowing combustor, and turbine stages that widen toward the
    exhaust. Heavy Oil lubricant adds 8%.
  • New parts: the Turbine Blade Set and Combustor. JEI lists its fuels; Jade, a Handbook page and a
    config section [gasTurbineArray].
• Throttle Lever. An aircraft-style throttle quadrant with a signal of 0 to 15. Look at it and scroll the mouse
  wheel to move it (a popup under the crosshair shows the signal), or use / sneak-use it to step it up or down.
  The arm pivots on its axle, swinging back at 0 and forward at 15, and the gauge beside the slot lights with the
  signal. It powers the block it's on like a lever, so it sets a Gas Turbine Array's Throttle mode directly.
  Crafted from a lever, a comparator, redstone and a Steel Plate.
• Jetpacks (Tempered / Hardened / Arcforged). They burn Steam, High-Pressure Steam, Superheated Steam or
  Hydrogen (data map arcforge:jetpack_fuels), with Normal / Hover / Off modes on a key (H), a fuel gauge by
  the hotbar, steam puffs or a blue hydrogen flame, and a thrust sound. Fill them in a Pressurized Cylinder or
  from a Gas Cartridge. Smith a Steel Chestplate onto one for an Armored Jetpack.
• Arc Drill and Arc Saw (Tempered / Hardened / Arcforged): FE-powered tools that never break, with module
  slots for Area, Silk Touch, Fortune I-III, Vein Mining and Speed. The Arc Saw fells trees. Both play a running
  sound and animate in hand (the auger spins, the chain runs) while they cut.
• Steel tools and armour. Sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe (500 uses, 7.0 speed) and a full armour set
  (2 / 7 / 5 / 2, 1.0 toughness): between iron and diamond, mining at iron level, repaired with Steel Ingots.
• Steel Hammer and Steel Excavator. Break a 3×3 facing the side you hit, only blocks the tool is good
  against and no harder than the one you hit; chests and other block entities are skipped. 1 durability per
  block, 1,500 uses; sneak for a single block. An outline shows what will break, and each block fires its own
  break event for protection mods.
• Electrolyzer. A Tempered machine that splits water into Hydrogen and Oxygen with FE, 2:1.
  • 100 mB of water makes 200 mB of hydrogen and 100 mB of oxygen for 120,000 FE (1,200 FE per mB of water),
    at 400 FE/t.
  • Water goes in on Input faces. The gases leave through the new Hydrogen and Oxygen face modes and
    are pushed out every tick.
  • Speed and Energy upgrades, redstone control, a GUI showing the ratio and the FE per mB of hydrogen, Jade,
    JEI, a Handbook page, and a running sound.
  • Recipes are data-driven (arcforge:electrolyzing). The primary output fills the hydrogen tank and the
    secondary the oxygen tank.
  • A vent button under each gas tank. With it on, gas that doesn't fit is released, so a full tank doesn't stop
    it when you only want the other gas.
• Hydrogen and Oxygen, two new gases (Pressurized Conduits, Cylinders and Gas Cartridges only).
• Hydrogen fuel. Hydrogen burns...

Arcforge v2.0.0

Upgrading

• Breaking: Steam Boiler and Steam Turbine are gone.
  • Placed ones turn into loose Steam Boiler Array Casings and Steam Turbine Array Casings.
    Items in inventories convert too.
  • The water and steam they held are lost.
  • Build the arrays instead. The casing recipes no longer need the old machines.
• Config: the steam.steamBoiler and steam.steamTurbine sections are removed.
  • The boiler array's maximum temperature moves to steam.steamBoilerArray.maxTemperature.
  • Re-apply it if you changed it.
• Multiblock ports reset once. Ports are now stored per face (see below). Each formed structure gets
  its default ports again the first time it loads; set any custom ports again with the Wrench.
• Config values reset once. The config is regrouped into categories, so arcforge-common.toml is
  rewritten with the defaults the first time the game starts. Re-apply any values you changed.
• Ore changes apply to new chunks only.

Removed

• Steam Boiler and Steam Turbine (single blocks). This covers their blocks, items, GUIs, JEI
  entries, Handbook pages and config sections. The Steam Boiler Array and Steam Turbine Array replace
  them.

Added

• Per-face multiblock ports. Each outer face of a block is its own port, so one corner can take things
  in on one side and give them out on another. Ports stay where they were set, even if the block is
  broken and put back or the structure breaks and forms again.
• Boiler pressure setting. A Pressure tab on the Steam Boiler Array: Auto, or hold
  at Steam, High-Pressure or Superheated. A held boiler heats without boiling until it reaches that grade's
  temperature, then makes that grade at whatever rate its heat comes in.
• Running sounds for the Steam Turbine Array (pitch and volume follow the rotor), the Arc Crusher, Arc
  Crushing Array, Induction Furnace, Induction Furnace Array, Metal Press and Metal Pressing Array: grinding
  and arc crackle for the crushers, a deep electrical hum for the induction furnaces, and heavy machinery for
  the presses. Each fades in while the machine runs and out when it stops, with subtitles. They replace the
  occasional vanilla sounds these machines played.
• Config screen: values grouped into Heat & Power, Steam, Machines, Multiblocks and Ore Generation,
  with a page per machine; every value has a name; Reset All puts every value back to its default.
• Jade shows the Solar Thermal Array's name and heat on every block of it, not just the controller.
• More Arc Crusher recipes. Ores: redstone (6, 25% chance of 2 more), lapis (8, 25% chance of 2
  more), diamond (2) and emerald (2), all doubled by the Arc Crushing Array. Utility: cobblestone → gravel,
  gravel → sand (10% chance of flint), bone → 5 bone meal, blaze rod → 4 blaze powder, any wool → 4
  string, glowstone → 4 glowstone dust, sandstone → 2 sand.
• Conduit Filter. Goes on a connection of an item, fluid or pressurized conduit (the arm facing a
  machine) and decides what passes there: nine entries, allowlist or denylist, each entry matched exactly or
  by one of its tags, an option to ignore item components (enchantments, damage, names), and whether it
  applies when inserting, extracting or both. Right-click the connection with an empty hand to set it up;
  fluid and pressurized conduits take a bucket, Canister or Gas Cartridge as an entry. The Wrench's Dismantle
  takes it off with its settings. A sleeve on the arm shows it, its LED grey until set, then green (allowlist)
  or red (denylist), like the item. Jade lists a conduit's filters, and the Engineer's Handbook has an entry.
• Crates: tiered chests with 54 / 72 / 99 / 126 slots (the Tempered Crate and up scroll), with face
  settings, conduit and hopper support and a comparator reading. Broken, a crate spills like a chest; picked up
  with the Wrench it keeps its items. A filled crate can't go inside another crate, a vault or a shulker box.
• Vaults: bulk storage for one stackable item, 4,096 / 16,384 / 65,536 / 262,144 by tier. The front shows the
  item and its count. Right-click the front to put in what you hold (twice quickly: everything matching you
  carry), left-click to take a stack (Shift: one); mine it from any other face. Lock (the Wrench on the front, or
  the GUI) keeps the item type when it empties; Void destroys what arrives when it's full. Conduits and hoppers move
  as much as they like in and out, and a vault keeps its contents and settings when broken or picked up.
• Storage Upgrades (Tempered, Hardened, Arcforged): right-click a placed Crate or Vault of the tier below to
  upgrade it where it stands, contents and settings included. Crafting the block with the next tier's alloy
  also works.
• Arc Melter (Tempered tier): melts cobblestone, stone, netherrack and magma blocks into lava with FE
  (50 FE per mB by default, so a bucket costs 50,000 FE). Its 4,000 mB tank feeds conduits, tanks or a
  Geothermal Plant set right under it, with no setup. Takes Speed and Energy upgrades, has a running sound,
  and shows in JEI (Melting) and Jade. Recipes are data-driven (arcforge:melting), and the costs are in the
  config under machines.arcMelter.
• Sulfur: Sulfur Dust, crushed from gunpowder (2 each), netherrack (a 15% chance) or the new Nether Sulfur
  Ore, which drops 2–4 Sulfur Dust and generates through the Nether (configurable under ores.sulfur).
• Chemical Reactor (Hardened tier): an item and up to two fluids react into an item, a fluid or both, with a
  byproduct slot for chance outputs. Its two input tanks sort fluids by themselves, so water and acid each keep
  a tank. Takes Speed and Energy upgrades, has a running sound, and shows in JEI (Chemical Reacting) and Jade.
  Recipes are data-driven (arcforge:chemical_reacting).
• Sulfuric Acid (hurts whatever wades in) and an Ore Slurry for iron, copper, gold, silver, nickel,
  tungsten and bismuth, with buckets.
• 3x ore processing: leach raw ore in Sulfuric Acid into slurry, then precipitate the slurry with water
  into dust: 3 dust per raw ore and 6 per ore block, against 2 and 4 from the Arc Crushing Array.
• Crushing recipes may now have only a chance output (no main result).
• Superheater Array. A 3x3x3 Hardened-tier multiblock. It upgrades steam one or two grades with
  heat: 5 HU per mB per step, gated by its temperature (500°C / 900°C). It has a Pressure tab (Auto /
  High-Pressure / Superheated), takes up to 2,000 HU/t, and has 16,000 mB tanks.
• Condenser Array. A 3x3x3 Tempered-tier multiblock. It turns Exhaust Steam back into water, 1:1.
  • 120 mB/t base, plus water, ice, packed ice and blue ice touching it.
  • Cold biomes ×1.25, the Nether ×0.5, capped at 400 mB/t.
• Turbine exhaust. A new Exhaust port mode on the Steam Turbine Array. Spent steam leaves as
  Exhaust Steam (a new gas).
  • It gives +10% FE while the exhaust drains, stacking with lubricant.
  • With no Exhaust port the turbine vents as before.
  • A boiler → turbine → condenser loop closes without a pump.

Changed

• Casing recipes. Neither array casing recipe needs the old machine any more:
  • Steam Boiler Array Casing: Tempered alloy, copper plates and a bucket.
  • Steam Turbine Array Casing: Tempered alloy, nickel plates and a steel gear.
  • Both still make 4.
• Solar Thermal Array peak output 200 → 600 HU/t, pushed in full into a touching machine.
• Steam Boiler Array boils up to 600 HU/t per block of height (was 200): a full 3×3×7 can feed a
  full-length Steam Turbine Array on High-Pressure Steam.
• A Steam Turbine Array's rotor speed follows the power in the steam, so higher grades spin it faster,
  and the rotor visibly turns faster at part speed.
• On Auto, boilers hold at 100°C instead of flickering between Boiling and Heating when heat arrives
  unevenly; the GUI's rates are smoothed.
• Fluorite, bismuth, tungsten and arcite generate more often and show on cave walls far more (tungsten no
  longer hides from air; arcite mostly doesn't).
• Plates, the Tungsten Heating Coil, Thermocouple and Arcite-Tungsten Composite moved to the Components tab.
• New textures for the Trough Mirror, Tungsten Heating Coil and Thermocouple.
• The Steam Turbine Array's end caps are plain casing; only ports you set show plates.
• The solar tooltip now explains that a boiler needs its pressure set to reach High-Pressure.
• Nether gold ore has its own crushing recipe: 1 gold dust with a 25% chance of another (was 2, as gold
  ore), still doubled by the Arc Crushing Array.
• Item conduits take turns between destinations more evenly: one that's full (or whose filter refuses the
  items) no longer hands its turn to the next destination as well.
• Multiblock port nozzles (on the cube arrays and the Solar Thermal Array) have their own shaded steel collar
  instead of a flat patch of the casing texture.

Fixed

• Conduits connect to multiblock ports reliably, and ports appear and clear as soon as they're set.
• Breaking a Solar Thermal Array or Distillation Array controller un-forms the structure, so it can be
  rebuilt.
• Multiblock GUIs stay open from anywhere along a big structure (they closed from the far end of a
  9-long turbine).
• Port nozzles on the cube arrays and the solar tower are closed at the back.
• The solar trough no longer flickers where it meets the mast.
• Ports no longer show on two faces of an edge or corner block.
• The Distillation Array's vapour no longer flickers (strobes) as you move around it.
• The Distillation Array's controller sits in the tray band on every side face, not just its front: its other
  faces show a louvred panel lined up with the trays.
• Softer, cleaner frames round the Distillation Array's tray windows: no dark line along the bottom, the ...
