HBM's NTM Nuclear Tech Reforged

Performance and stability

• Exploring new terrain is noticeably smoother, especially in areas that generate oil deposits or old missile silos.
• Large underground oil deposits no longer waste time checking huge areas where oil could never appear.
• Surface oil patches stay within a safe area and no longer force distant chunks to generate unexpectedly.
• Legacy missile silos now appear in smaller steps while nearby chunks load, reducing long world generation freezes.
• Reduced unnecessary work and data updates during orbital travel.
• Fixed a client timing problem that could cause delayed space data, visual jumps, or rare crashes.
• Dedicated servers can load the space content without touching client-only rendering code.

Space travel

• Reworked travel between Earth, orbit, the Moon, and other celestial bodies to make transfers reliable.
• Rockets no longer remain stuck just above the ground, circle in orbit forever, or jump back toward the planet they already left.
• A rocket is transferred only once and keeps the same identity, preventing duplicate or abandoned rocket entities.
• The pilot remains inside the rocket during dimension changes and arrives at the same position as the rocket.
• Orbital travel no longer rewinds when an older update reaches the client late.
• Stage separation and capsule travel now follow the intended route without sudden backwards transitions.
• Rockets remain visible in third-person view throughout launch, orbital travel, separation, and landing.
• Rocket lighting now reacts to the surrounding day, night, and planetary light while keeping proper shape and shadows in flight.
• Fixed abrupt lighting changes during launch, stage separation, and touchdown.
• Rocket exits, capsule pickup, and landing behavior remain reliable after space travel.

World generation

• Oil fields keep their original appearance and rarity while generating with safer limits.
• Oil sand deposits keep their original size, shape, and chance while generating much more efficiently.
• The original legacy missile silo is preserved with its rooms, launch pad, doors, redstone, containers, loot, and random concrete details.
• The /hbm gen silo and /hbm gen silo_shaft commands continue to generate the legacy silo for testing or creative building.

Notes

• No radiation, weapon, JEI, or rocket flight physics were changed as part of these optimizations.
• Existing worlds remain supported. New world generation improvements apply when previously unexplored chunks are created.
