The Beginning of the End

Oh, this was one of the most hardest updates I've done, I think you'll really like it because a lot of effort, time, and most importantly, soul and ideas have been put into it! I wish you good luck in your new adventures through this sick and gloomy world

As in previous updates, there are many global changes that will affect your current worlds and the items you already have in those worlds, so I highly recommend you start over by creating a new world

Changed

• 5 firearms: MK47, Glock 18c, PKP Pecheneg, QBZ 192, CBR11 Sniper
• Cleaned all weapon icons (Except Applied Armorer) and almost all attachments icons. Also, all colored text has been replaced with plain white (Except for ammo, weapon magazines and Applied Armorer gunpack) to be more in line with the uniform style of the modpack.
• Spore mod bosses now have 3 times more health (This is because you have a lot of strong firearms :D)
• Changed inventory exit animation
• Rebalanced the characteristics of some firearms
• Changed the ammo used in some firearms
• Globally reworked recipes for all firearms, they now have a greater variety of materials to fully reflect the appearance and effectiveness of a particular firearm, and are calculated using my new formula, which is designed to improve the balance of the modpack and make it easier to add new weapons. Each recipe will depend directly on the main characteristics of the weapon (rate of fire, damage, number of rounds in the clip, armor penetration, damage to the head), the cost is first calculated in ingots of iron, and then divided into different materials, each of which has a certain equivalent to 1 ingot of iron, so all recipes should become more fair, balanced and interesting!
• The difficulty of the world cannot be changed now, it is always hard. Also now you cannot select creative mode and enable cheats
• Color correction has been improved on all shader presets
• Spooklementary and Spooklementary (Without MB) presets have improved shadow quality and range, as well as entity shadows.
• Improved music playback, now it depends on the time of day and places you are in, and the music will be more varied and less intrusive.
• Zombie hordes now have a 5% chance of coming every night instead of the fixed 100% every 10 nights, this means that a horde can come to you on any night, always be prepared and get home before sunset...
• Zombies from the horde can now break blocks
• Stray hordes from the Apocalypse Now mod no longer spawns

Added

• 20 new zombie types with different movement speeds and health stats (some are more survivable but slow, some are the opposite), which means that zombie mobs will now follow you in a completely chaotic manner.
• 3 types of ammo: .300 Blackout Bullet, 12 Gauge Dragons Breath Bullet, Nails
• Few attachments
• 44 new firearms: Honey Badger, Wooden SKS, AK74, RPK-74, HK MK23, AK107, M231, Saiga-12, SCAR-HAMR, AUG-HBAR, AK308, HK-MP5K, PP-19 Vityas, DB-4 Ursus (Dragon Breath), DB-2 Durin (Dragon Breath), Nailgun, M870 Tactical, MK18, MXA AR-762, Colt 933, BRN-10, MXA SCAR-SBR, IWI NEGEV, MG3, Type 73, PPSh-41, AS Val, M4 URGI, AK47, AK103, Type 88-2, AK105, SVD, IWI Galil ACE-32, Howa Type 20, Sjögren Inertial, RSC 1917, Chauchat, Gnenral Liu, OSIPR AR2, QBU 88, IMI Galil ARM, M327-TRR8 Revolver, CBR11 Infantry (Return in a new capacity and with a slight external difference from CBR11 Sniper).

• All heavy weapons with explosion damage now destroy blocks (Previously only RPG-7 and MTA could destroy blocks)

• Fixed Underground Bunkers loot table (1 item that you could find in bunker chests had no texture because I made a mistake when writing the item ID)

Attention, in this update there are many changes in world generation, changes in optimizations and many global innovations. I strongly recommend you to create a new world, so that no errors occur and you can see all the charms of the update. (Most likely, old worlds will not work at all in this version).

This update took about 100 hours of active work. I'm going to take some time off and start working on version 1.4, which will probably include the transition to the new version of Timeless and Classics Zero, which means more firearms. Thank you to everyone who is playing my project, more to come

Changed

• Firearms recipes have been rebalanced and improved once again

• A huge amount of various loot has been added to many structures (about 500 different items to bunkers, towns, hospitals, farms, factories, cars, houses and other structures). Oh, that was a tough one guys

• Since this update introduced many new structures and added new loot to a large number of structures, in order to maintain balance and avoid generating structures in each other, the rarity of almost all structures is increased by 2 times, except for some, which already appeared quite rarely, they will appear with the same frequency

• Spore config has been updated, now infected mutants attack animals as well, and start appearing in the world from day 1 and starve after 7.5 minutes instead of 5 minutes

• Simple Band-Aid

Updated

• Spore

• Villages&Pillages

Removed

• Baby zombies are disabled because they are too imbalanced

You can try to continue playing in your world with this update, but I can't guarantee that the new loot will appear in the old worlds, so keep that in mind.

P.S. This is the first part of a global update, which I decided to split up so as not to make too big a pause between updates and to give a gift for the new year to the few players who play my brainchild now.

Spoiler: The second part of this update will bring a huge number of new firearms, selected from different addons with the maximum quality of implementation, if any weapon causes even a little doubt, I remove it from the addon for modpack. So you will be getting at least 40 new guns with maximum quality of implementation, and all of them will be rebalanced with new ingredients specifically for the modpack, I plan to do it all in the next two months, but in the meantime, your wait will be brightened by a great first part of the update, adding firearms to the loot, as well as a big rebalance with new recipes for all firearms and other nice innovations.

Happy New Year, my dear apocalypse fans!
