Changelog

0.1.5 - 2026-05-12

• Expanded external direct-controller compatibility for Simulated and Aeronautics machines, including direct input sampling and write support where appropriate for: simulated:directional_gearshift, simulated:laser_pointer, simulated:laser_sensor, simulated:ir_sensor, simulated:analogue_transmission, simulated:simple, simulated:redstone_accumulator, simulated:redstone_inductor, simulated:redstone_magnet, simulated:optical_sensor, simulated:docking_connector, simulated:altitude_sensor, simulated:navigation_table, simulated:gimbal_sensor, aeronautics:adjustable_burner, aeronautics:hot_air_burner, aeronautics:steam_vent, aeronautics:mounted_potato_cannon, aeronautics:propeller_bearing, and aeronautics:gyroscopic_propeller_bearing.
• Added a dedicated direct-control receiver for simulated:directional_gearshift so controller output now binds through the API path instead of relying on redstone-face fallback routing.
• Added a dedicated ComputerCraft peripheral for simulated:directional_gearshift with gearshift-specific methods (setLeft, setRight, setOutputs, clear, isLeftPowered, isRightPowered) instead of the generic shared machine surface.
• Corrected direct-control semantics for simulated:throttle_lever: it now remains input-oriented in compat behavior and is no longer treated as a direct output actuator.
• Fixed controller direct-target integration to use the updated block-entity-aware signal apply path, resolving the stale callsite signature mismatch introduced during compat expansion.
• Updated linker behavior for simulated:directional_gearshift to force block-scoped linking, migrate legacy face-scoped entries, and expose both bindable outputs in discovery (left_powered / right_powered) for reliable controller mapping.
• Added native ComputerCraft external-machine peripherals for the expanded Simulated/Aeronautics target set via a reflection-backed ExternalMachinePeripheral surface.
• Added complete external ComputerCraft documentation in aeronautics_cc.md, covering peripheral types, common methods, status payloads, usage examples, and caveats.
• Fixed Physics Gantry carriage teleporting during shaft level transitions by adding anchor-loss hold behavior with automatic anchor reacquisition and reattachment; if no valid shaft anchor is found within a short timeout, the carriage cleanly detaches and drops normally.
• Added Curios compatibility hardening for Physics Goggles by enabling Curios quick-equip behavior and extending client-side wearable detection to include Curios-equipped goggles, ensuring overlays and goggle-gated features stay active when not in vanilla armor slot HEAD.
• Added an optional Tom's Storage compatibility shim that patches terminal interaction range checks to use Simulated/Sable sublevel-aware world-space distance, preventing false "out of range" failures when players and terminals are split across sublevels/world space.
• Decompilation/reference pass completed for Curios and Tom's Storage libraries into local jar source references used for signature-safe compatibility patching.
• Added comprehensive Ponder scene documentation system with 16 registered tutorials covering all major blocks:
  • Thruster: Fuel Mode, FE Mode, Processing
  • Thruster Bearing: Controller Setup, Data Link, Servo Input, Fuel & FE Pass-Through
  • Claw: Rope Attachment & Contraption Manipulation
  • Smart Gearbox: Passthrough Mechanics, Servo Input
  • Analogue Joystick: Redstone Link Controls
  • Contraption Controller: Remote Orientation Sourcing
  • Industrial Alternator: Energy Generation
  • Industrial Motor: Motor Operation
  • Variable Transmission: Transmission Control
• Added vertical placement variants for the Smart Gearbox and Variable Transmission:
  • Vertical Smart Gearbox: Rotates the dual-lane kinetic axes so the primary lane runs vertically (up/down) and the secondary lane runs horizontally, with smart placement logic that aligns the secondary lane to adjacent shaft connections.
  • Vertical Variable Transmission: Forces vertical shaft orientation (up/down axis) for encased shaft applications requiring vertical power transmission.
  • Both variants have bidirectional crafting recipes with their horizontal counterparts (shapeless recipes allow conversion in both directions).
  • Scroll UI control square repositions to the block face that has no shaft connections (UP for normal, EAST for AXIS=X vertical, SOUTH for AXIS=Z vertical).
