Railcraft/Changelog

On this page, the changelog for the Railcraft mod can be found. It can also be found on CovertJaguar's blog and on the Railcraft GitHub repository.

Version 9.10.0.0

 * NEW: Added Auto-Coupler Mode to Coupler Track. Any cart that passes over this track will couple to the next cart it collides with. (contribution by Cream-tea)
 * NEW: Add support for IndustrialCraft 2 Classic. (contribution by Speiger)
 * CHANGE: Reworked harvest tools for the entire mod. Tracks and related blocks are by default harvestable by the crowbar instead of pickaxes. Other blocks are either axe or pickaxe depending on material.
 * FIX: Signals and Boxes now use a TESR for rendering the lights, resulting in less render refreshes. (contribution by Vexatos and Player)
 * FIX: Fix OreDict tag in Tin Plate recipe. (issue #781)
 * FIX: Fix issues with server/client sync of filtered Carts.
 * FIX: Only cache Tile Entities located in the same chunk as the cache. Should resolve untold issues with Signals and Multi-Blocks.
 * FIX: Improve High Speed explosion logic to take into account the comparison of Train objects. Might result in less unpredictable explosions.
 * FIX: Fixed NPE in Anchor Chunkloader code caused by mismatched worlds.
 * API: SignalBlock was moved to the API so that addons can create new Signal blocks.

Version 9.9.0.0

 * NEW: Signal devices can now be named using the Signal Label item and Anvil. (contribution by Vexatos)
 * NEW: Disposal Track can be disabled with a Redstone Signal. (contribution by wshadow)
 * NEW: Switch Motor now has a button that will cause it to ignore Redstone signals. (contribution by wshadow)
 * NEW: Convert the Tunnel Bore into a multipart entity to allow for more fine tuned control of the collision box.
 * NEW: New Routing Table keyword: Loco. Returns true if the locomotive type matches "electric", "steam", or "none". Using "none" only returns true if there is NO locomotive. (contribution by Cream-Tea)
 * NEW: Coal Coke torch recipe. (contribution by daniel)
 * FIX: Package correct RF API.
 * FIX: Fixed NPE when loading a world with a Personal Anchor. (contribution by Yopu)
 * CONFIG: Added H.S. explosion entity exclusion list. (contribution by Yopu)

Version 9.8.0.0
Released on Octboer 22nd, 2015 for Minecraft 1.7.10.
 * NEW: Added Cargo Cart, a filterable Cart for moving items.

 * FIX: Override Command Block Cart to fix interactivity issues. (contribution by liach)

Version 9.7.0.0
Released on August 9th, 2015 for Minecraft 1.7.10.
 * NEW: Steam Locomotives can now pull fuel and water from attached carts.
 * NEW: Rewrote the entire system for moving items and fluids around within Trains. It should be more compatible and less buggy than the previous system.
 * INFO: The way the system works is that push and pull requests can only pass through carts that allow them to be passed. For example Chest Carts can pass item requests, but not fluid request. And Tank Carts can pass fluid requests but not item requests.
 * INFO: Because of the way the system works, you can either attach a Chest Cart to your Steam Locomotive to supply fuel or a Tank Cart to supply water, but not both. Choices are good.
 * NEW: Sneak-clicking with a Surveyor or Tuner will now clear the current pairing operation.
 * NEW: Redesign Tuning Aura and add Surveying Aura for the Goggles. Should be more visible now.
 * NEW: Add Signalling Goggle Aura, a combination of the Tuning and Surveying Aura.
 * FIX: Rock Crusher can now crush Entities again.
 * FIX: Disabled Tile Entity caching on Bukkit. Bukkit doesn't seem to invalidate Tile Entities correctly. This is likely the cause of most issues with Multi-blocks on Cauldron. Sadly, caching is a significant performance booster when it works.
 * FIX: Detector and Directional Detector Track should wait a few ticks before turning off the redstone. Helps prevents pulsing while trains pass over, which often led to glitchy railway logic.
 * FIX: Make Receiver Boxes occasionally update their neighbors to prevent situations where the Receiver says one thing and attached blocks another. Could happen when the Receiver was in a different chunk from the adjacent block.
 * FIX: Have Block Signals save the last known position of track end positions to NBT. Should prevent Signals from returning Yellow if the chunk on the opposite end isn't loaded. May cause traffic jams and collision if your trains don't have Anchor Carts.
 * FIX: Increase the area that Anchor Carts keep chunkloaded from 3x3 chunks to 5x5 chunks in order to help reduce chunkloading derived issues for moving Trains.
 * FIX: Boilers and Hobbyist Engines should defer water triggered explosions until their own update tick. Should prevent other mods from crashing when their block randomly disappears mid-update.
 * FIX: Disabling any blocks or items used in Rock Crusher recipes should no longer crash. Issue #602
 * FIX: Prevent Locking Tracks from reseting in the middle of a Train by searching for nearby carts that are 'almost' on the track.
 * FIX: Fix various issues with Signal and Controller/Receiver pairing that could result in dropped links and other random bugs.
 * FIX: Fix NPE in the Signal debug statements.
 * FIX: Fix minor issue with Energy Loader's IC2 integration.

Version 9.6.1.0

 * NEW: IFluidContainerItems should be completely supported now.
 * NEW: Add Debug in-game command that will dump data to the logs.
 * NEW: Capacitor Boxes now have a switch to determine if they should trigger on a rising or falling signal. (contribution by wshadow)
 * NEW: Improvements to the Switch code that should make them more reliable and predicable. (contribution by ssotangkur)
 * CHANGE: Loaders "Has Work" Buildcraft trigger should better reflect the actual loader status. Issue #535
 * CHANGE: Signal Block Relay Boxes now require two Signal Circuits in the recipe instead of just one.
 * CHANGE: Signal Block Relay Boxes no longer function as a Controller. If you need that functionality, put a Controller Box next to it. May break some setups.
 * CHANGE: Improve Signal Block debug print statements to help with debugging some possible issues.
 * CHANGE: Coke Block now 10x Coal Coke fuel value and is flammable. (contributions by daniel and Kamran)
 * FIX: Various chat messages that didn't before should now properly localize.
 * FIX: Personal Anchors should only tick their update (and fuel use) function once per tick...oops.
 * FIX: Fix Geode Generator. Issue #576
 * FIX: Geodes should only spawn under the ocean floor now, instead of half submerged. Issue #526 (contribution by liach)
 * FIX: Melt snow on top of Smokers. Issue #530

 * FIX: Fixed localization issues with Track GUIs.
 * FIX: Disabling the Factory Module should no longer prevent you from cooking Abyssal and Quarried Stone.
 * FIX: Attempt to make Train objects survive linking and cart deaths (unlinking still needs work).
 * FIX: Anchor Cart should no longer request Chunkloader Tickets if the entity is dead.
 * FIX: Crowbar should no longer attempt to link dead carts.
 * FIX: Train Detector should no longer count dead carts as part of a Train. Issue #536
 * FIX: Crowbar Destruction Enchantment can no longer perform alchemy. Issue #519 (contribution by WoodStone)
 * FIX: Hide the Tank Valves Animation Tank from TankInfo calls. Issue #381
 * FIX: Properly Handle Invalid Regex Syntax in Routing Tables. Issue #518
 * FIX: Don't try to define Brick recipes if disabled. Issue #513

 * NEW: Add Creosote Block variants of Stairs and Slabs.
 * NEW: Tagged a bunch more stuff with Thaumcraft 4 Aspects.
 * CHANGE: Reworked Boiler math to eliminate heat-up costs.
 * Boiler Changes:
 * Goal: Provide a more realistic interpretation of real life Boiler physics.
 * Steam Produced becomes a factor of Heat. Steam per cycle per tank = STEAM_PER_UNIT_WATER * (temp / maxTemp)
 * Fuel use less dependant on temp, higher temps need more fuel. Fuel used per cycle per tank = FUEL_PER_BOILER_CYCLE + FUEL_HEAT_INEFFICIENCY * (temp / maxTemp) + FUEL_PRESSURE_INEFFICIENCY * (maxTemp / 1000)
 * Differences between Low/High:
 * Max Temp (Low=500, High=1000)
 * Ticks Per Cycle (Low=16, High=8)
 * Efficiency bonus per tank remains similar.
 * Heatup times remain similar, but add/remove heat functions are smoothed out.
 * Heat Up: newTemp = oldTemp + (HEAT_STEP + (((maxTemp - temp) / maxTemp) * HEAT_STEP * 3) / numTanks
 * Cool Down: newTemp = oldTemp - (HEAT_STEP + ((temp / maxTemp) * HEAT_STEP * 3)) / numTanks

New Code:


 * Code as present in Version 8.3.0.0:


 * Code as present in Version 8.3.2.0:
