HBM Nuclear Tech Mod: Community Edition

Breaking Changes

• Aligned RBMK cooling behavior to upstream. This MAY blow up your reactor! 1.7 Changelog copied verbatim below:
  • RBMK absorber columns now heat up when exposed to neutrons
    • The type of neutron does not matter, only the quantity
    • 20 flux equals 1°C heatup
  • RBMK passive cooling has changed
    • The default value is now 2.5°C/t instead of 1
    • This value only applies to rods that have exposed sides, i.e. the edges of a reactor
    • There is now a second passive cooling variable used for rods on the inside (dialPassiveCoolingInner, 0.1°C/t by default)
    • The effective passive cooling value is scaled smoothly depending on how many sides are exposed, using dialPassiveCoolingInner with no exposed sides and dialPassiveCooling for rods with four exposed sides
    • Simply put, spindly RBMKs are now way less desirable, structural columns no longer just debuff the reactor and reactors that actually look like reactors are now more powerful
  • Changed the way RBMK coolers work
    • Instead of using cryogel, coolers use 50mB of cold PFM per tick and return an equal amount of warm PFM
    • In a 5x5 square around the cooler, all components are cooled down by 200°C per tick, down to a minimum of 20°C
    • This renders that section of the reactor unsuitable for boiling water, however it means very high heat fuels can be used
    • Cold PFM is used up at a steady rate, even if the reactor is already cold
• Removed legacy machine_assembler, machine_assemfac, machine_chemplant, and machine_chemfac, plus their legacy templates/JEI/category/render assets
• Removed hf_sword and hs_sword
• Removed paa_helmet; PaA armor now uses the chest/legs/boots only, while hazmat-capable helmet behavior lives on the hazmat helmet variants.
• Reworked dynamic model/TEISR registration and placeholder handling; renderer/model registration integrations depending on the previous client-side binding path may require API updates
• Removed legacy toolbox_legacy; serialized custom kits now use hidden kit_custom instead
• Removed the legacy relay phased/worldgen structure and the /hbmstruct relay generator hook
• Oil Well, Pumpjack, and Fracking Tower now serialize only the NTM-native tank/power fields; legacy fluid/power contents are not migrated on load
• Tsar Bomba now uses the upstream six-slot inventory layout; contents from the removed legacy stage slots are discarded on load, and the GUI/recipe/starter kit now match the new tsar_core slot
• Removed old struct_plasma_core and marker_structure

Fixes

• Fixed low-pressure steam pipes not visually connecting to Industrial Steam Turbines
• Fixed missing radiation resistance on the M1TTY Environment Suit armor set
• Fixed special-model rendering/orientation issues across modular spotlights, scaffolds, wavefront-based models, standard-block item transforms, crane partitioners, spinny lights, UV-scaled baked models, cable diodes, pneumo tubes, ducts, and cables
• Fixed keybind and sound issues around invalid overlap handling, the alternate copy-tool binding, looped sound pitch, and laser pistol/bobble sound registration
• Fixed bedrock ore crumbs crystallizing with Slop instead of Nitric Acid
• Hardened control panel save/load and editor flows so duplicated controls round-trip through serialized state, unresolved links are preserved, and missing controls are kept as placeholders instead of being discarded

• Fixed oily terrain generation replacing the wrong surface layer and leaving floating snow layers/leaves behind (#1184)
