GregTech 5/Changelog

Note: Change nodes labelled "Ninja Update" refer to changes made after the version was officially released. If you had already downloaded that version, you will need to re-download it to get the ninja update.

5.04.05

 * Uploading seems to be fixed. Maybe it was a bad timing last time.
 * The Ores should be fixed now too, because the opacity check was being called before the removal of the adjacent Block. (so the network optimizations are still in)
 * Fixed Fluids not being Color Modulated in my Cells and my Fluid Displays. (I didn't even know that this Color thing was even an option until now)
 * Added Support for the PFAA Oil Fluids in the Distillery.
 * And I added a little bit of Buildcraft Support to the Laser Engraver and the Forming Press.
 * Super Buffers and Chest Buffers are much less laggy now.
 * Fixed a lot of other Issues.

5.04.04

 * Fixed the Crash Issue with my Ores (probably).
 * Added molten Tin and automatic Metal=>Fluid Recycling if the Metal has a proper Fluid.
 * Fixed the refined Iron Casing not being handled.

5.04.03

 * Added the electric Forge Hammer finally.
 * Added some Fluids.
 * All Railcraft Rails are now craftable in the Assembler using Molten Redstone and Molten Blaze.
 * Laser Engraver now makes Chiseled Variants of the Stones/Quartzes.
 * Changed many Recipes to use Oxygen instead of Air.
 * Removed the Recipes for NitroCarbon and SodiumSulfide, because they are useless now.
 * Coins are now made in the Forming Press. The Press does support renaming the Mold to rename the Coins.
 * Fixed Forestry Blocks not being recognized.
 * And many other Bugfixes.

5.04.02

 * Added Laser Engraver, Forming Press and molten Redstone.
 * Those can be used to make the AE Circuitry.
 * That the Forming Press requires PLATES for the Processors instead of Gems is intended, only exception being the Pure Certus Quartz.
 * Please watch the Voltage on the Laser Engraver Recipes, creating the AE Presses requires Extreme Voltage at least. (it is much easier to find the Presses in the Meteors)
 * The Mixer can do Fluix Crystals, Concrete and Energium Dust now.

5.04.01

 * I hope that Index File gets generated withing the next 5 to 10 Minutes. Otherwise just change the 5.04.00 Link to be 5.04.01 (on both Parts of the Link)
 * Added some compat for Harvestcraft and MagicalCrops Items.
 * Fixed Potion MetaData, so that Fluid Potions can be botteled again. Fluid -> Potion works always, while Weakness and Slowness Potion -> Fluid doesnt work all of the times (if you produced them the vanilla way), I cannot fix that Issue without creating a redundant Weakness or Slowness Potion Fluid.
 * Added Mixer for mixing Dusts. Forgot to change the Concrete Recipe to use it instead of the Chemical Reactor...

5.04.00

 * Supports 1.7.10 properly now, but is still 1.7.2 compatible.
 * Location of download changed.
 * Mislabeled as 5.03p in mcmod.info

5.03o

 * Added NEI Support for Ore Byproducts as List.
 * Added Gallium as Byproduct of Bauxite and Sphalerite.
 * Added Niobium-Titanium, Canadium-Gallium and YttriumBariumCuprate Wires.
 * Added 4 Superconductor Recipes using the aforementioned Wires and Naquadah Wires.

5.03n

 * Fixed Concrete Glitches again, when it is submerged in Water.
 * Improved NEI a bit again.

5.03m

 * Made it possible to brake on Concrete by Sneaking.
 * Fixed some Bugs.

5.03l

 * Added Autoclave to crystallize Quartzes. Made the NEI recipe Handler output the Recipes of small and tiny Dusts, when clicking the regular Dust and vice versa. Same for Nugget and Ingot.
 * Made the OreDict Unificator more Efficient. This makes not only the startup faster but it also means less Lag in general.

5.03k

 * Added Polarizer (to make Permanent Magnets for the small Motors).
 * Added Electromagnetic Separator (mainly for Ores) Changed the Recipes of Motors and Pumps (Iron Rod + 4 Redstone = magnetic Iron Rod, and Rubber Sheet + Knife = Rubber Ring, for the Starters out there).
 * Added ways to obtain Neodymium from Rare Earth from crushed Redstone Ore and some other mods Ores, also added Monazite and Bastnasite Ore to the Worldgen (but they aren't necessary in older Worlds, you can still use Redstone Ore for Rare Earth).
 * Made again a few new Recipe wrappers for Extractor, Compressor and Macerator. Optimizing my Code by killing almost identical Class Files is fun.
 * Concrete Plates are now available, so that there is at least one Concrete Cover

5.03j

 * Found out that Concrete Road + Ice Blocks below = Linear Accellerator.
 * Ore Washer and Thermal Centrifuge now use the Standard Recipe System with the Help of a Recipe System Adapter. Fixed some Bugs.

5.03i

 * Fixed Mobs sinking into concrete by making the Hitbox Soulsand sized.
 * Improved the Recipe Handling of the E-Furnace, the Fluid Canner and the Unboxinator, resulting in those 3 Machines now also being 100% Standard Machines without any special additional Code.
 * Fixed the Item Input Filtering of the Chemical Bath, now it doesn't let Items in if their proper Fluid isn't stored in there first.
 * Fixed Unification regarding blacklisting of Blocks, since Blocks aren't supposed to be actively Unificated at all.
 * Made Unification Blacklisting much more efficient.
 * Removed the Industrial Grinder Recipe List. Forgot that it was still in causing quite a bit of Lag on startup.

5.03h

 * Added Concrete and several Recipes for its usage. Also you can walk faster on it, and (unlike the Chisel Version...) you don't glitch forward or sidewards when walking on it.
 * Added usage for Chlorine in the Chemical Bath to get rid of the Dye on things like Wool, Clay or Glass (Glass is stained meaning it isnt actually colored Glass, it is just painted Glass so it makes sense).
 * Fixed a Bug in the Forge OreDictionary (but only fixed for GT, since I needed to hack into the OreDict), where it doesn't allow Items to be registered when they are the same Item with the same OreDict Name, but with a different MetaData/DamageValue. That had caused trouble with my Granite and Concrete Blocks, since only the first registration actually worked due to that, what made them un-maceratable. (and I mentioned it to a Forge Dev so it is reported)
 * Fixed a bunch of other Bugs.

5.03g

 * Added Chemical Bath. It does the Mercury and Sodium Persulfate thing of the old Industrial Grinder.
 * Moved GT Sounds to another Thread to cause less Lag.
 * GT Machines now buffer the last used Recipe so that those extremely fast working Machines are not Searching for the Recipe all the time.
 * NINJA UPDATE: Fixed sounds causing crashes

5.03f

 * Added Distillery for the smaller refining needs.
 * Added NEI support for the Scanner.
 * Fixed a few Bugs.

5.03e

 * Fixed a few Bugs.
 * The Scanner can now analyse Bees and Trees.
 * Fixed wood to charcoal recipe using Thaumcraft
 * Generalized Basic Machines even more.

5.03d

 * Fixed Recipe Bug. (A crash occurred before if Railcraft was installed without Thaumcraft. Railcraft contains the Thaumcraft API, which makes GregTech assume it is installed, which causes a crash due to adding recipes that cannot be added)

5.03c

 * Added Fluid Support for Centrifuge and Electrolyzer, this has the effect of destroying almost every pre-existing automated Machinery since the Recipes (Methane, Hydrogen, Lava, Helium, Water, Mercury and many more) now require and output Fluids in many cases. (Some Recipes with Fluid Cells still require Cells!)
 * Fixed several Bugs and attempted to fix the Fluid Pipe thing. Lets see if it worked.
 * Added more Recipes for Forestry Compat.

5.03b

 * Added Forestry Compatibility for the corresponding GT Machines such as the Squeezer (the single input ones) and Centrifuge Recipes (basically all).
 * Added Fluid Extractor and Fluid Solidifier, and yes some of their Recipes will be replaced by better means in the future (as in a Basic Smelter and a Basic Freezer).
 * Added Molten Glass, a Fluid Input Slot for the Assembler and the possibility to make Electron Tubes in the Assembler.
 * Changed some Recipes to require Fluid means of processing.
 * Crushed Ice Fluid is now obtained by Fluid Extracting Ice Dust. Forestry Ice Shards can be macerated to said Ice Dust.
 * Improved my NEI Plugin, added "Fake" Recipes for certain things to have the display (including the accepted Forestry Recipes, the Fluid Canner and the Rock Breaker), fixed the stupid stacksize Bug in the Wildcard permutations but just for the GT Plugin since that is a Core Bug in NEI (FIX IT CHICKENBONES JUST FIX IT, IT IS IN THERE FOR AGES AND HAS BEEN REPORTED MULTIPLE TIMES #RAGE), did I mention that my Plugin is Fluid compatible within itself last time already?
 * The Cutting Machine now requires Lubricant (or at least Water) in order to cut. It also gives the increased Wood Output, which the old "Multiblock" Sawmill had (that thing looked just like crap, it was a "why is that a multiblock"-Machine).

5.03a

 * Improved NEI Support. Now everything is generic and fully automatic as long as it uses the GT Recipe System.
 * Added the possibility of having Fluid In- and Outputs into the GT_Recipe Class.
 * Overhauled the GT_Recipe Class massively.

5.02l

 * Added Fermenter for fermenting Fluids.
 * Added new Drinks and Stuff. Most of them are hidden from NEI.
 * Whenever a brewing Process fails it will end up as mundane Potion. This applies to the Redstone/Glowstone/Gunpowder augmentations. You can use this also to clear the Input Fluid out of the internal Tank.
 * Purple Drink is now the greatest junk you could ever drink. Nobody knows what is inside this mysterious Bottle (except for the one who made it ofcourse).
 * Did not add ANY new crops
 * Forestry Lemons are compatible btw in case you want to make Life take them Lemons back.
 * Added Thermos Can for keeping hot things hot and cold things cold. Required for some of the new Fluids.
 * Fixed the Bug with the Glass/Plastic/Rubber Extruding/AlloySmelting.
 * Fixed some other Bugs.

5.02k

 * Fixed a Nullpointer in Thaumcraft.
 * Fixed bare Wires not electrocuting people.
 * Fixed Hammers not crushing Glass even though they are supposed to.

5.02j

 * Added two new abilities to the Plunger: 1. Cleaning Fluid in Tanks and Pipes and 2. Cleaning Essentia Containers and Tubes from Essentia.
 * Improved the Material System a little by adding more SubTags to my Stuff. If you encounter strange Recipes regarding Gems, please tell me. The Lathe Recipe for Gem Rods is intended however.
 * Added the JackHammer back. It is an HV Tool with Titanium Hull and shatters most Rocks into pieces. Not to mention it is twice as fast as the HV Drill.

5.02i

 * Added Automatic Breweries.

5.02h

 * Added Restriction Pipes which count as 100 regular Pipes of each of their kind.
 * Added Sense (other people call it a Scythe), which harvests a 3x3x3 of Crops/Leaves on Leftclick. It can harvest a 3x3 of IC Crops on Rightclick.
 * Added Plow, which shovels a 3x3x3 Area of Snow, and ONLY Snow, not your lawn or other Dirt/Sand/Gravel alike Materials.
 * Added Plunger, which can be used to clear a clogged GT Item Pipe System just by rightclicking any Pipe inside the System.
 * Added a lot of missing Assembler Recipes for vanilla Blocks.
 * Potentially fixed the Tooltip Bug in the Lang File.
 * Fixed some other Bugs too.

5.02g

 * Added a lot of Convenience Recipes to the Assembler and the Cutter in order to make several Vanilla Blocks and Items without having to use an Autocrafter.

5.02f

 * Added a lot more Recipes/Researches for Thaumcraft.
 * All GT Thaumcraft Research is now properly configurable.
 * Fixed some Bugs that were stumbled upon.

5.02e

 * Added some Thaumcraft compatibility. Currently only two Researches (3 were implemented but 1 was bugged on TC side so hasn't been added).
 * Fixed a bunch of bugs.

5.02d

 * Added much more Glass Processing. Removed Glass Bottle Crafting Recipe in favour of Alloy Smelter / Extruder.
 * Added Aspects to many GT Items manually.
 * Fixed Fluid Pipes considering Dead Ends.
 * Fixed non-undamaged Hazmat Suits not working against Radioactivity.
 * Fixed a lot of other Bugs.

5.02c

 * Fixed a Bug regarding Output Hatches, which has spammed the Server Console.
 * NINJA UPDATE: Fixed crash bug spam

5.02b

 * Fixed a ton of Bugs.
 * Added Tools for the 6 Crystal Shards of Thaumcraft. Those have a very low durability but a nice Special Ability.

5.02a

 * The Version change came originally from the IC² API changes, but then I had to revert those, because of those stupid Forge Requirements of IC² 485... IC² 484 is MAX, it will take a long time before I support any later Version due to the 1.7.10 force Requirement (I want to still support 1.7.2).
 * Made a bunch of Bugfixes, nothing much.
 * NINJA UPDATE: Fixed Wiremill making rods instead of wires

5.01j

 * Added Super Buffer, which is like a Chest Buffer but with 256 Slots. Note: It doesn't have Slots inside the GUI, 256 would have been too many Slots for a GUI anyways. Otherwise it behaves exactly like a Chest Buffer.
 * Added Crates. They are similar to Forestrys Crates but they store 16 Items (Currently just all Dusts, Gems, Ingots and Plates). You need a Packager to put the things into the Crate and either an Unpackager or a Crowbar to unpack the Crates. Crates are made from an Iron or Steel Screw and a Wooden Plank.

5.01i

 * Chest Buffers now merge their Itemstacks and sort them to the upper left Slots.
 * Added Titanium Boilers.
 * Fixed a bunch of Bugs.
 * Removed Nugget Schematic, because the Alloy Smelter can do 9 Nuggets = 1 Ingot the same way as the Packager would have had it done but cheaper.

5.01h

 * Added Boilers in 3 different Variations (all are 3x3x5), Bronze, Steel and Tungstensteel. When they are at full capacity they work on Fuel Items like IC2 Generators with the same or up to twice the amount of Steam produced (2 Steam being 1 EU) per Fuel Unit. Sugar Canes and Cactii don't work as Fuel because they only have 1/4 of a Fuel Unit, while at least 1/2 of a Fuel Unit is required to be burned. They also accept Fuels of Semifluid Gen (regular Ratio with up to x2 Bonus) and also the Diesel Gen (but much more inefficient!).
 * Fixed some IC² Recipes not getting properly removed.

5.01g

 * Multiblock Hatches now have better Textures depending on the Multiblock they belong to.
 * Implosion Compressors now accept the "Explosion Hazard Sign Block" as Solid Steel Casing.
 * Added Overmind's Wrench Overlay, but using non-scala Code. The Overlay requires CodeChickenLib (a dependency of NEI) to work.
 * Fixed Bismuth Bronze having both a Blast Furnace Requirement and Zero-K Heat being needed, causing it to be unsmeltable unless the Config regarding the required Heat gets changed to a positive non-Zero Number.
 * Battery Buffer now outputs as much Amperes as there are Batteries inside.

5.01f

 * The fluid icon inside tanks/machines now has a tooltip containing the precise amount of fluid (The stacksize thing is still there for rough estimates of fluid amount).
 * Re-added the electric regulator in again 10 different voltages.
 * Changed all automation machines to accept input of 2 amperes and to output 2 amperes to be able to supply every attached machine properly.
 * Fixed a bunch of Bugs.

5.01e

 * Added the replicator, it uses UUM and energy to form the targeted Dust/Cell/Fluid (yes direct fluid output for cases like hydrogen).
 * Changed the hammer to crush ores in world instead of by crafting. That is to reduce the amount of crafting recipes.

5.01d

 * Added chest buffer (Was large electric buffer before) in (all) 10 voltages.
 * Fixed some bugs.

5.01c

 * Added recipes for packager and unpackager
 * Fixed batteries eating energy constantly instead of only when they are charging/discharging.

5.01b

 * Fixed some recipes not being added.
 * Added battery (de)charging loss.
 * Hopefully fixed the Railcraft crashing issue.

5.01a

 * Added Filters in 20 different variations.
 * Added Thermal Centrifuges and Ore Washing Plants.
 * Added some "Decorative" Blocks.
 * Fixed dodgy cauldron bug which made it only work in a positive x and z location

5.00z

 * Added Lockers - basically an armour stand
 * Fixed Implosion Compressor Sound
 * Fixed a ton of other Bugs such as accidentally overriding vanilla Aspects of Thaumcraft.
 * NINJA UPDATE - Fixes server crash

5.00y

 * Added 5 brand new Compound Aspects, which can describe things much better. They are currently not used to create or research anything, but you can try to find all 5 of them (every Aspect of those can be found by Scanning, except maybe one, but that is depending on your Worldgen).
 * Black Granite Cobblestone can be smelted to Black Granite and can be made Black Granite Bricks again. (Bug fix)

5.00x

 * Removed Arbor on most Gregtech things with Thaumcraft aspects.
 * Replaced it with other aspects.

5.00w

 * Fixed the Casings and coil blocks being uncraftable
 * Fixed the failed removal of "dustLapis" from vanilla Lapis in the OreDict. (Fixed in Forge 1119)

5.00v

 * Added Mass Fabricator to create UUM the GregTech way. 5 Versions with the standard over-clocking efficiencies of Double Speed = Quadruple Consumption.
 * Produces 1 Litre at a time instead of 10 Litres like the IC² Massfab does.
 * Added Controller Cover so you can shut it off, because that thing CAN suffer from Insufficient Energy Lines!

5.00u

 * Vacuum Freezer now use Frost Proof Casings
 * Implosion Compressor now use Solid Steel Casings
 * Added Multi Smelter, a Super Furnace as Multiblock which does 6, 12 or 18 Items at once (depending on Coil Level), also it goes round-robin over the Inputs so it does every inserted Item somewhat equally often (as long as you don't insert prime numbers or other uneven amounts). The Speed (over-clockedness) depends on the Voltage of the Hatches. It is built like a Blast Furnace minus one Coil Row.

5.00t

 * Added a few more Machine Casings. Some of them are still WIP, and are useless
 * Fixed vanilla dye ore dictionary support

5.00s

 * Fixed chunk border issues with pipes and such

5.00r

 * Added Vacuum Freezer
 * Added 40 different but similar Battery Buffers.

5.00q

 * Added the old NEI Plugin, meaning all the old Machines have their Recipes in NEI. I didn't add it for the really new Machines for now. Ironically adds the Vacuum Freezer and Industrial Grinder, even though neither are in the game.
 * Added the TFC Alloys and Bismuth to my Materials. Most require a Blast Furnace to be made.
 * Also fixed Sounds.

5.00p

 * Added new Death Messages for Tools
 * Added the Butchery Knife
 * Added Cadmium Batteries (Simplified the Nickel away, and some other improved things)
 * Made it so that the Butchery Knife gives twice the amount of invincibility time for Mobs after getting hit, meaning you cannot attack very fast with those (same for Hammers and Wrenches).

5.00o

 * Fixed some Bugs
 * Added coloured Tooltips.
 * Hammers can now mine rock based blocks what instacrushes them as if you craft it.
 * Since the Cauldron doesn't work in Multiplayer, added the possibility to use water blocks for the washing purpose.
 * Also added a Config to re-enable the original Power Loss.

5.00n

 * Added Knives. Currently just sword like tools which don't get double damage when breaking blocks, but they instead get double damage when used as weapon. Main purpose will be cutting things in crafting recipes.
 * Fixed some Bugs as always.

5.00m

 * Now with Radio-activities! Thorium and un-enriched Uranium 238 are safe, but the other ones are deadly if you don't have a hazmat suit.
 * Fixed Implosion Compressor texture (I expect)
 * Changed it to be a jar-file.

5.00l

 * Added Universal Spade. Crafted from Universal Spade Head (Shovel Head + File), a Stick (of the same Material!), a Screw (of the same Material too) and a Screwdriver. Mob Damage is like the Axe (3 + Tool Quality), you can block with it (That's why you can't just use a wooden Stick to craft it), use it as Crowbar (might need some more random Code to work better if RC isn't installed), it's usable as Saw (but gets double durability Damage from that!), and you can harvest almost anything what is not Stone-related with it.
 * Added some Damascus Steel Ingots and tool heads as dungeon loot to the game, since Damascus Steel is uncraftable (as in nobody knows how to produce it IRL, so I don't make it craft-able).
 * Made Iron and all the different Steels having Sharpness per Default
 * Wrought Iron is also craft-able now by smelting Iron Nuggets in a regular furnace. Wrought Iron tools are between Iron and Steel.
 * Implosion Compressor is craft-able, but without a texture
 * Fixed over-clocking using 4x more power than it should (I expect)

5.00k

 * Added the Electric Blast Furnace
 * Added recipes for some missing machines.
 * Fixed base generator textures

5.00j

 * Added the Bronze Blast Furnace back. Also know as the Tone Box 5000
 * Added Disjunction type enchantment (I think, might have been previous version)

5.00i

 * Tools now have some enchantments depending on their Material. Thaumium has Fortune II, but its durability got halved. Firestone and Fiery Blood Ingots have Fire Aspect III and can therefore auto-smelt drops.
 * Added the Leaf Cutter, what is effectively just a grafter, but works in adventure mode.

5.00h

 * Fixed scoops
 * Fixed the ore drop random generator always generating the SAME result if there are only two possible outcomes.

5.00g

 * Added scoops which work on adventure mode. Like Forestry's, just left-click to catch butterflies
 * Added some of the tool sounds.
 * Fixed the RC Crowbar not being usable on GT Blocks to remove Covers
 * Made the GT Crowbar usable as a RC Crowbar.

5.00f

 * Fixed some more things on tools (ie, made hoes work)
 * Added improved Durability/Energy Bars to them
 * Nerfed vanilla tools.

5.00e

 * Fixed a bunch of bugs regarding tools
 * Added the wire cutter
 * Doubled durability of tools regarding block breaks. Additionally doubled the Pickaxe and Drill durability if Harderstone is enabled (since that causes the block resistance and therefore the tool damage to go up).
 * Flint Tools are craft-able too.
 * Fixed Adventure Mode
 * Fixed AFK Hunger.
 * Fixed pipes only accepting one item at once
 * Added solar steam boiler

5.00d

 * Added lava boiler
 * The Packager can now do 1x1, 2x2, 3x3, nugget crafting and dust piling recipes using schematics

5.00c

 * Bronze Age now playable in survival if Railcraft is installed to get steel:
 * Added bronze boiler
 * Added high pressure boiler, although Railcraft's is better than both
 * Added steam turbine, for steam age -> electric age power

5.00b

 * Added lots of fancy generators
 * Made Gregtech ore generation fancier
 * Added mortars back

5.00a

 * Fixed some Tools, added Drill, Chainsaw and electric Wrench with LV, MV and HV Variants.

5.00

 * Released Gregtech Open Alpha

GregTech 4.xx (MC 1.6.4)

 * Gregtech 4.0 Community Wiki Changelog
