Hbm's Nuclear Tech Mod

Rough summary of all the changes and additions since the last Modrinth release, for a comprehensive list, check the github releases page.

Added

• Precision assembler and a new and improved 528 mode
• Target pistol, a .22 semi automatic gun on weapon steel tier
• NCR ranger power armor, a new red room exclusive armor set with stats comparable to RPA, comes with a melee controller to use the arm blades as weapons
• Heavy duty cable connectors with much larger range

Changed

• Batteries got deprecated and replaced with a single socket block that holds new standardized battery and capacitor items
• Simplified selfcharger recipes, there's now new tiers which are better balanced
• Updated the FENSU to be even bigger and have true unlimited storage

Also fixed a ton of bugs, did some re-balancing with the overhauled machines and systems, and killed off some unused blocks. Y'know, the usual.

Added

• New fusion reactor
  • More dynamic system with more components to choose from
  • Models and GUIs that are less eye-bleeding
  • Plasmas are now represented as a recipe selector instead of dedicated fluids, making the entire thing fully configurable
  • Despite being recipe based, fusion reactors will still burn fuel at a steady rate
  • Comes with load-balancing, if the solenoid power or fuel supply drops, the reaction will slow down
    • This ensures that supply below maximum demand doesn't cause "flickering" due to constantly running out of fuel
  • Comes with many juicy parts
    • The plasma vessel is where the magic happens, has four connectors for other parts
    • Klystron is used to ignite the plasma
    • Breeding chamber uses the plasma's outout flux to do irradiation recipes
    • Collector increases byproduct yield
    • Boiler turns water into SDS
    • MHD turbine makes power out of the plasma directly at greater efficiency
    • Coupler turns plasma output energy into usable klystron energy, allowing one reactor to be powered by another, creating a multi-torus setup
  • Also has full QMAW documentation, if the tooltips aren't enough
• Boxcables
  • Like boxducts, but for power

Changed

• Updated chinese localization
• Updated meteors
  • Meteors will now punch through weak blocks like leaves instead of getting stuck on trees
  • Meteor impacts now have new visuals
  • Falling meteors will produce a sound instead of stealthily blowing people up
  • Fallen meteors will now be placed deeper into the actual crater instead of hovering awkwardly over the hole
• Added QMAW pages for the particle accelerator parts along with a PA overview page and a simple step by step construction tutorial
• Increased the acidizer partitioner's input limit from 9 to 45 slots
• Ammo containers are now functional again
  • Each gun has a fixed "default ammo" that will be given
  • Grants ammo for up to three held guns, selected randomly
  • Ammo given does not respect caliber conversion mods
  • Amount of ammo given depends on the mag size and type of ammo
    • Most pistols and low capacity rifles will get two reloads worth of ammo
    • High capacity rifles will typically get only one magazine
    • Rocket launchers typically only get a small amount of rockets
    • The fat man only gets a single nuke
    • Certain legendaries do not give ammo at all, they are omitted when three randomly held guns are selected
• Ammo containers are now found in more itempools
• The arc furnace input queue can now be moved into the recipe grid if the lid is at least slightly open instead of requiring a fully opened lid
  • This means that in system with slow input, the time window when items can be added to the arc furance is now more forgiving
• Pipe anchors now have a look overlay showing the currently configured fluid type
• Removed ammo duping using nitra, instead, four large piles can now be combined into an ammo container
  • Ammo containers crafted from nitra cannot give "expensive" ammo types
  • This mainly excludes mini nukes and .35
  • Comes in a distinct blue color instead of military green
  • Makeshift containers also yield only half as much ammo as regular ones
• Using a defuser, creepers can now be rendered harmless manually
• Defusing creepers now also works if the creeper hasn't lit its fuse yet
• Defused creepers are now permanently harmless, they can no longer be manually re-ignited at all
• Manual defusers now also affect big man johnson
  • Defusing only works if the timer is active
  • The glpyhid will explode instantly, but only about as powerful as a conventional rocket, not destroying blocks
  • Doing so will also drop one usable demolition mini nuke
• The painsaw ability no longer plays the blood splash particle effect
  • Instead, it will outright gib the target
• Pile plutonium rods can now be reprocessed in the PUREX in addition to the old anvil recipes
  • The recipes require 100mB of sulfuric acid and 100HE/t, the lowest requirement for all reprocessing recipes
  • The recipes are part of a shared auto switch group, meaning that even if different rod types are produced, only one PUREX is necessary
• Grass is no longer a valid paint block for paintable cables and ducts
• Multiblocks are no longer affected by collapses caused by nuclear explosions
• The old NITAN powder chests have been removed
  • In their place, there's now a different, more useful structure with similar but not identical spawn rules
• ROR controller torches can now set the threshold of particle accelerator dipoles
• Removed the legacy recipes from the terra drills
• Slag can now be cast into ingots
• Re-solidifcation of bedrock ore crumbs now requires ore slop instead of nitric acid
  • Due to ore slop being only obtainable from processing raw bedrock ore, this places a hard cap on how many times a single ore can be re-solidified out of crumbs
  • This approach means that crumb yields don't have to be nerfed, and prevents that issue from popping up again should there ever be a new, more efficient processing path
• Rewrote the ore layer generator (hematite, bauxite) to be way more performant during worldgen
• The mining laser can now be stopped by applying a redstone signal to one of the ports
• Ionized particles can no longer be liquefacted into helium-4, helium is now a direct liquid byproduct of several fusion reactor recipes
• Adjusted schrabidic acid recipe to account for higher ionized particle yield
• Increased the ICF's stellar flux output by a factor of four

Fixed

• Fixed arc furnace only allowing electrodes to be inserted when the lid is down instead of up
• Fixed issue where the amounts tracker wasn't being used correctly when using a custom acidizer config, preventing the acidizer partitioner from working
• Fixed multi fluid ID search potentially not working on systems with a non-latin locale
• Fixed particle accelerator source working even if not cooled
• Fixed foundry channels being overly laggy in certain setups
• Fixed potential mod incompatibilities with world generation mods that use outdated forge hooks
• Fixed the buzzsaw not properly replanting trees using the leaves2 block type
• Fixed creepers regaining their exploding AI task upon relog, if defused
• Fixed assembly and chemical factories not properly saving their recipe fluid buffers
• Fixed light blue and light gray dyes not working when dyeing cables
• Fixed bismuth armor not having a valid repair material
• Fixed compressors needing at least one mB of fluid more to process a recipe than necessary
• Fixed many NTM structure spawn conditions being hardcoded (again) preventing them from spawning in modded biomes that would otherwise be a fit
• Fixed spawn offset for some structures which caused them to float in the air
• Fixed icons in the QMAW title bar often times being too dark when rendered with a 3D model
• Fixed rocket artillery modes having incorrect tooltips

• Added keyboard controls to the recipe selector's scroll function
  • Up and down keys scroll by one line
  • PgUp and PgDown scroll by 5 lines (full page)
  • Pos1 and End keys scroll to the top and bottom of the list respectively
• C4, like semtex, is now edible
• Assembly machines can now be made with the assembly machine
  • The recipe is similar to the anvil recipe, but it uses only half as much steel, and one analog circuit instead of four vacuum tubes
• Added a (LEGACY) tag to the schrabidium transmutator
• Existing schrabidium transmutators are now way slower
  • get souped
• Removed the schraranium tooltip mentioning the transmutator
• Changed the last remaining recipes that use the old steel pipes item, as well as the recipe for the steel pipes
  • Any remaining steel pipes can be either smelted in a crucible or shredded

Fixed

• Fixed various issues with the localization
• Fixed fusion reactor item IO being broken
• Fixed issue with the chemical factory where the declogging feature would be triggered by a recipe processor that doesn't even own the reported slot

Changed

• Increased bayonet damage from 5 to 7.5 hearts
• Two numeric redstone over radio signals sent over the same channel will now be added together instead of one signal replacing the other

• Duds now have multiple variants
  • Dismantling different variants yields different drops
  • Magnetic extraction can no longer be performed
• isItemBlacklisted on the item hazard checks now employs caching instead of doing a full ore dictionary lookup for every single check, this should make it marginally more performant
