Overview 1.0.4 Full Release

The factory grows! Wait... that's another mod..

All sorts of automation for your basic resources and more! Plus some additonal goodies to work with for your builds and factory designs. Prepare yourself, cause this patch note list is LONG!

(This is an overarching set of patch notes, so this will include things from previous pre-releases as well)

New content

Blocks

• New bars blocks can be made of Foxite, Silver, and Tritonium that have 3D models. Within the files of the mod, you'll also find a resource pack to add 3D models for Create bars as well.
• A handful of new paintings to enjoy, and two secret ones as well.
• Leaded Quartz Glass. This glass is able to let light through while unpowered, but block it like Tinted Glass while powered. There's also Panes variations!
• Leaded Quartz Dusty Lamp to give another use to Leaded Quartz Dust
• Leaded Quartz Enriched Sand is crafted with Leaded Quartz Dust and four Sand. Smelted into LQ Glass.
• New types of gravel for resource automation. Deep and Soul Gravel can spawn naturally, but you have to crush Blackstone for Black Gravel.
• Deep Sand comes from breaking down Deep Gravel and lets you try to farm for Diamond Shards and Tritonium Nuggets
• Black Sand comes from breaking down Black Gravel. It'll grant more Gold Nuggets, and while Tinker's Construct is installed, Cobalt Nuggets too.
• Cobbled Blackstone, Calcite, Granite, and Diorite are crafted from chunks or dropped when you mine their respective blocks without Silk Touch.
• Rich Basalt is quite similar to Gilded Blackstone, except it is a Basalt and also Mithril and spawns naturally rather than be tied to structures.

Items

• Tiny Diamond Dust appears whenever you craft something with Diamond Dust. Essentially it lets you get two uses out of one while giving you a happy lil dust pile in return!
• Lapis Shards for Lapis automation.
• Flint Dust is made from crushing Flint.
• Leaded Quartz Dust comes from crushing Leaded Quartz and used to make Leaded Quartz Glass
• Lots more chunks, ranging from Limestone to Magma to.. Lime..stone.. Hey, I never said I was in charge of who put Limestone in their mods, it just so happened Quark and Create both did, but now you can automate both!
• Shale Sheets exist if you have Quark installed. They work just like Slate sheets, except that they're just a lil blue.
• Red Lichuorice, just like regular, but red!

Interactions and Block & Item Properties

• Tritonium and Tritonium blocks are now fireproof.
• Soul Stone Levers now only produce a 1 Power output instead of 8.
• Faunathyst Dust now works just like Bone Meal.
• Upgrade Templates, Faunathyst Dust, Dusty Lamps, and a handful of other items now have a basic descriptor of what they can do or contain funny-ish quips.
• Soul Cobblestone and Crimson Coal blocks now infiniburn in the Overworld.
• Deep Gravel can be replaced by Moss.
• Oreberry Bushes will no longer hurt entites.
• Blackstone, Calcite, Granite, and Diorite now drop their Cobbled variants when mined without Silk Touch
• All Bars should now be able to be picked up with Create's Wrench (if you find bars from another mod that doesn't, please make a bug report)

Recipes

• Lots of new chunk recipes, more than I have the room to go over here, you'll just have to see em in game!
• Bars can be made the standard way in the Crafting Table, or be made through a Stonecutter for slightly more bang for your buck.
• Updated Netherite Plate recipe to be a little more inline with other later-game plates.
• Reworked and balanced Slate recipes to be much closer to intended (will possibly receive nerfs in the future, not sure yet).
• Faunathyst Dust can now be made by Bulk Haunting Moss.
• Buffed Faunathyst and Quingum Milling/Crushing recipes.
• Removed Coal from Slate Milling recipes.
• Doubled the Crimson Coal and Quartz Milling outputs.
• Nerfed Crushed End Stone Bulk Washing recipe.
• Changed Nugget Conglomerate and Nugget Hunk recipes to be a little more balanced.
• Expanded Silver Smelting recipes.
• Some Chunks can be used to make Stone Buttons.
• Mechanical Crafters can now be made via Item Application with an Abnormal Object on a Brass Casing.
• Lots of recipes now use item tags instead of direct items for external mod auto-compatibility.

Textures

• Faunathyst and Quingum have some new textures created by my lovely new artist: DkuroDraws <- Their BlueSky
• The Lead Ingot, Coal Dust, Netherite Dust, and the Nugget Conglomerate all got a slight touch up as well.
• Finally removed the Example Item texture that's been siting in the files for a while..

Dev note - Dkuro will likely be doing more and more textures over the next bigger updates and a lot of stuff will be lookin a lot better instead of my poor attempt of texture creation.

Fixes

• No Fruit Sapling no longer breaks the Saplings block tag
• Fixed the No Fruit loot table to properly work as intended, and is also now slightly less likely to drop an Apple.
• Fixed Obsidian Lagomite Ore Crushing recipe to grant Powdered Obsidian instead of Endstone.
• Fixed Quingum and Crimson Coal Cutting Board recipes.
• Fixed the model texture stitching issues for Lead Bars by making them a whole new model from scratch!
• Fixed Abnormal Hopper Recipe

Upcoming plans (yes, this is once again kidna copy-pasted from the previous pre-release patch notes, shush..)

• Endstone and while Quark is installed, Myalite production and automation. Maybe I'll have to call upon ye old Witch Water conversions or maybe expand upon corruption?
• Heavily expand into the decoration side. I already have Lanterns, Chains, and Dusty Lamps, but I want more. Thinking about possibly going into lavalogged blocks and stuff. It's like waterlogging, but with lava!
• Similar to Tiny Progressions' Growth Crystals, I want to make Faunathyst blocks make plants and crops grow faster.
• Have Leaded Quartz Glass update each other so you can have large windows that can be turned on and off all at once.
• Expand into more versions of Minecraft. Likely 1.18.2 and 1.20.4 will be the versions I'll work with. I won't go 1.17 or lower due to the fact I'd essentially be having to work with a whole new game for each subsequently lower version.
