Alighieri's Legacy v2.2.0 — Logistics, Souls & Balance Update!

Welcome to version 2.2.0! This update breathes life into the mod's progression, introducing the first soul-harvesting mechanics, a custom logistics cable network, dynamic anti-exploit wrath scaling, and fully configurable balance options.

1. The Soul Harvest Begins

We've introduced the foundation of the mod's tech-magic fuel loop:

• Tormented Soul: Slaying Nether fiends (Blazes, Ghasts, Wither Skeletons, Hoglins, Piglin Brutes, Magma Cubes, and Zombified Piglins) now has a 20% chance to drop a Tormented Soul.
• Alternative Fuel Source: Don't want to fight? You can now use Soul Sand and Soul Soil as a weaker, fast-burning alternative fuel in your reactors.

2. Holy Cables

Connect your infrastructure seamlessly with the brand-new Holy Cable:

• Universal Compatibility: Connects to any block with energy capabilities (reactors, transmitters, or cables from other tech mods) and automatically adjusts its 3D model connections.
• Throughput: Safely transfers up to 4,000 FE/tick while actively balancing the energy charge among adjacent cables.

3. Anti-Exploit Wrath Calibration

The Righteous Wrath mechanics have been fine-tuned to reward genuine combat while blocking farming exploits:

• Dynamic Scaling: You now gain 0.25 Wrath points per 1 point of damage dealt, capped at a maximum of 4 points per single strike. A standard 8-damage sword hit awards 2 points (requiring roughly 50 hits for a full 100% bar).
• Nether Crusade: Defeating Nether fiends fills the Wrath meter twice as fast!
• Exploit Protection: Abuse prevention is active. Wrath points are only awarded when hitting hostile monsters, Nether fiends, or other players. Smacking innocent chickens or passive cows will yield absolutely nothing.

4. First-Pass Balance Tuning (Fully Configurable!)

All balance metrics have been exposed to the config files. Here are the default values on paper:

• Archangel Chestplate: Capacity set to 600,000 FE. Flight drains 40 FE/tick (totaling 12.5 minutes of continuous flight on a full charge).
• Reactor Output: Produces 200 FE/tick. One Tormented Soul generates a total of 120,000 FE (150 seconds of flight). A block of Soul Sand yields roughly 25 seconds of flight.
• Holy Transmitter: Transmits at a rate of 1,000 FE/tick (pro tip: you will need multiple reactors running in parallel to match this delivery speed!).

5. UI/UX Polish

• Wrath Bar Optimization: The empty background slot of the Wrath meter has been adjusted from a harsh pitch-black to a smoother, dark-brown gradient for better visibility against game backdrops.
