Hello everyone!
Welcome to another exciting release of REVOLUTION|2! We’ve got lots in store for you this update, including new mods, squashed bugs, and another chapter in the HQM book! Wheeeeee! You can’t contain the updates!
First up, we have an update to Realistic Terrain Generation, which will cause some unsightly chunk border issues when generating new chunks on an existing map. Other than aesthetics, worlds created with earlier versions of RTG are fully compatible with the new version. But if you’re just starting off, you may want generate a new map to take advantage of some of the glorious new scenery. One of my favorite elements is that Streams can now tunnel through land instead of only sheer cliff faces.
Three new mods appear in this update. Ewy’s Workshop, which is a continuation of Steve’s Workshop (by VSWE), fills in the gap left by tinker’s benches – allowing up to 4 crafting tables or furnaces, combined with inventory and fuel, in a single block. Next on the list is BattleText, a simple mod that adds floating damage indicators that appear when mobs are damaged. Last, and most impressive, is Practical Logistics. Practical Logistics gives you the ability to create automated systems via reading, displaying and acting upon data. It’s quite gorgeous and a single sentence doesn’t do it justice.
Also in this update, we’re removing a couple of mods: Small Boats and Spice of Life. WHAT?! Haggle making the pack easier!??!?! Yes, you heard right, Spice of Life has been removed. It made food too ‘grindy’ in conjunction with all the other food mods in the pack (I’m looking at you, food rot!), so we’ve streamlined food a bit.
Lastly, we’ve added Chapter 3 to the HQM quests, as well as fixed a number of bugs and updated a bunch of earlier quests. This will reset your earlier quest progress. Use /hqm edit <playername> to fix your quest book.
On a parting note, I’ve recieved a number of comments over the last couple of weeks saying, ‘Haggle, why isn’t the world a devasted wasteland after the devastating nuclear war?’ Take a look at this short response to a similar question.
Changes
EnviroMine is no longer optional as parts of it are used for game progression.
If you have been playing without Enviromine, be aware that structures may collapse due to physics. Save your world and be prepared if you’re used to 9x9 cobblestone structures being stable.The majority of Enviromine is disabled, so other than physics and food rot, it should not be a major issue.
You can disable food rot by setting
B:"Enable food spoiling"=falsein your enviromine/profiles/default/default_Settings.cfg file, though this is not intended in the spirit of the packYou will either need to regenerate DIM-28 and DIM-29 (moon and mars) or explore new chunks in order for Matter Overdrive ores to spawn. If you haven’t visited these planets, you do not need to do anything.
Added Chapter 3 to the HQM book.
Turned off Enviromine village mineshafts, as they caused occasional CMEs during world generation.
Turned off the fireworks upon gaining an achievement because GiantWaffle.
Doubled the number of raw ores required by the Blast Furnace (to 8). The Blast Furnace is still the more effective means of refining ore until the Arc Furnace.
Halved the spawn rates and frequency of Exotic Birds.
Increased frequency of land in Realistic worlds, as well as enabled continental world types.
Removed the duplicate potion effect HUD
Disabled Creeper damage to the environment
Metal plates are now made ONLY in the IE metal press. There’s a simple conversion between IE and RC plates.
Sapphire dust is made in the IE Crusher by throwing in lapis
RFTools’ Machine Frame and Base have updated recipes
Project RED Circuit Plates have a new recipe (conflicted with Rockhounding Cracked Stone)
Dirt can now be used in the sluice.
A number of mods are now non-optional (Enviromine, Zyin’s HUD, Hunger Overhaul, Ender Zoo, Headcrumbs, Mutant Creatures)
Et Futurum enchanting table and anvil are disabled due to incompatibilities with other mods.
Modified some foods’ rotting times. For example, jerky rots slower and emergency rations slower still. Some items (mana beans, zombie brains) do not rot at all.
