The Ferret Business 0.1.4 - The It's Sorta Fixed? Update is released!
This update fixes a bunch of issues with the supply system, fixes some recipes and configs, updates many mods, and cleans up some of the issues that have cropped up in the last couple releases. Not all of them, mind you!
The FTB Launcher is already updated, and Curse Launcher should already be updated, or will be within a few hours.
Condensed Changelog :
- New Mods
- FTB Utilities
- This mod adds a few functions that will be very useful to the pack. A built in Guidebook system, which will handle explaining basic pack mechanics and other things, without requiring an actual inventory item (Enchiridion Book). It also adds a backup system, which will be replacing Aroma Backup.
- BeeBetterAtBees
- An NEI plugin is super helpful in bee breeding. Shows the genetic evolution path of bees, amongst other things.
- Removed Mods
- Aroma1997 Core and Aroma Backup
- While useful, many players have noted issues with Aroma Backup, from memory leaks to poor performance. This backup function is now replaced by FTB Utilities, and the new backups can be found in minecraft\ftb-backups\ instead.
- YAMPST
- A useful utility for tracking pack statistics and sending login messages to warn of issues, it is unfortunately being discontinued.
- Customized Mods
- Fluxed Crystals 2, now known as Fluxed Crystals 2 - Ferret Edition
- Thank you to TheBlueTroll for forking and fixing some issues with FC2. IC2 support is now removed, since it was no longer necessary, and the updates to the code fix the seed infusing bugs from last version, as well as an issue with Speed upgrades. The MasterSeedData bug SHOULD be even rarer now, if not completely fixed, but we make no promises right now.
- Quality of Life Updates
- Main Menu notes have been upgraded and should be easier (and more obvious).
- There is now a starting Guide, accessible from your inventory. Click the book at the left side marked Guide.
- For now, it is fairly barebones, but will be improved on in the future.
- You can now craft Order Forms to automate purchasing Ores from the Corporate Shop
- You will NOT receive Shop Loyalty for this right now
- Bags of Coins can now be straight crafted back into 50 Silver Coins
- FMC and Supply System Changes
- Most current items have been re-valued. Some items are worth more, others worth less.
- You can now combine any item types to make crates
- In a future update, you will again be able to craft specific crate types, which will be used for Bulk Order Forms and similar.
- The FMC value range has changed
- 0.25
- 0.50
- 1
- 2
- 5
- 10
- 25
- 50
- 100
- Every 100 up to 500
- Every 500 up to 100,000
- Every 1,000 above that
- Only Thaumcraft and MineFactory Reloaded items have not be revalued (of the mods that have had items valued). They will be redone next update.
- Blind Bag Changes
- All Blind Bags (except Thaumcraft and MineFactory Reloaded) have been redone.
- Blind bags now have a maximum value for each tier.
- Cheap : 10,000 FMC
- Decent : 50,000 FMC
- Good : 200,000 FMC
- Amazing: 200,001+ FMC
- When you open a bag, you will get an amount of ONE item either up to the value of the bag OR maximum stacksize (so that you don't get 40,000 cobblestone dumped in your bag, for example)
- Creature Changes
- Spawn rate of all Exotic Birds and Grimoire of Gaia creatures has been lowered.
- Creep from GoG has been disabled, since it ignores the 'don't break blocks' rule
Some small notes
- Yes, you will need to delete HQM Data from an older world. Check the Troubleshooting Guide for instructions
- Forge version for the pack is now 1614.
NEXT UPDATE PLANS
If all works well, we are skipping straight ahead to 0.2.0. I have plans to fix some running issues with certain mods (Aura Cascade snooper lag, for one).
The big thing, though, is I want to deal with the issue of having to reset HQM data every single update. I need to do a bunch of testing and see how it is feasible at this stage. If it is, I'll let you guys know the plans.
Either way, I want to finish revaluing the last two mods that have quests, and start writing new quests. The Supply system only needs smaller changes and updates now, instead of complete system reworks.
