0.2.8-beta — Sulfurous Capabilities

0.2.8 expands the thermochemical infrastructure introduced in Reactive Heat by giving sulfur a larger role in fuel production, heat generation, materials, and kinetic heat routing.

The update also improves backward compatibility and tightens the rules around which Create components are allowed to carry thermochemical heat.

Sulfur Burner

Added the Sulfur Burner, a new sulfur-based heat source designed to integrate directly with CSR's thermochemical infrastructure.

The Sulfur Burner expands sulfur beyond chemistry and crafting ingredients by giving it a direct role in industrial heat generation.

A dedicated Ponder scene has also been added to explain its operation.

New Sulfur Fuel Progression

Added:

• Sulfurous Fuel Compound
• Sulfur Fuel Briquette

These introduce a new sulfur-focused fuel progression and give sulfur additional industrial uses within CSR.

Brimstone Core

Added the Brimstone Core, a new sulfur-based progression component intended for advanced CSR recipes and machinery.

Tempered Ashesil

Added:

• Tempered Ashesil
• Tempered Ashesil Pane

Both variants are explosion resistant, providing a more durable building material for hazardous factory environments and high-risk machinery areas.

Thermochemical Cogwheels

Added:

• Thermochemical Cogwheel
• Large Thermochemical Cogwheel

These are now the dedicated cogwheel components for transmitting thermochemical heat through kinetic networks.

Heat Transmission Change

Regular Create cogwheels no longer transmit thermochemical heat.

This separates normal Create kinetic transmission from CSR's thermal infrastructure and makes heat-network construction more intentional.

Players must now use Thermochemical Cogwheels when heat needs to travel through cogwheel connections.

Compatibility

CSR 0.2.8 now supports:

• Create 6.0.7 and newer
• JEI 19.42.0.387

Backward compatibility with Create 6.0.7 has been confirmed.

Fixes and Polish

• Updated language files.
• Added proper translations for all advancements.
• Fixed JEI rendering issues.
• Improved compatibility and presentation across the new 0.2.8 systems.

0.2.8 is a focused expansion of the thermochemical foundation introduced in 0.2.7, with more sulfur functionality and clearer separation between standard Create kinetics and CSR heat transmission.
